The Quest for 2 1,000 Yard Rushers at NC State

After practice yesterday NC State head coach Dave Doeren said that his ultimate goal would be to give Senior Shadrach Thornton and Junior Matt Dayes enough carries for the both of them to cross the 1,000 yard barrier.

“The idea would be able to share the ball and still have a 1,000 yard rusher. We’d love for those two guys to have 1,000 yards at the end of the year,” said Doeren. “They have to stay healthy to do that first of all. If they do, we have to get them the amount of touches to make that happen.
