NC State started their football season 1-0 tonight, defeating UCONN 24-14. Here are some of my initial observations.
- Honestly, I expected the ball to be in the air a lot more than it was. A lot more. I thought Offensive Coordinator Robert Anae was bringing in the Air Raid. Tonight couldn’t have been more of an inverse of that. NC State ran the ball 46 times, and threw the ball 26 times.
- Brennan Armstrong led NC State in rushing attempts (19), rushing yards (96) and he picked up 2 rushing touchdowns. I’m honestly not shocked that Armstrong led the Wolfpack in rushing yards and rushing touchdowns.
