True Freshman Quarterback CJ Bailey was forced to come into the game last week after Redshirt Senior Grayson McCall was hurt. The Wolfpack was trailing, and many of the goals for the season were on the line.
Bailey got off to a rocky start, throwing his first interception on his 3rd career pass attempt. He seemingly was unfazed, completing all 7 of his pass attempts on his next drive.
On the day, Bailey was 13 of 20 for 156 yards, and he also rushed the ball 4 times for 27 yards and a touchdown.
Bailey is only the 3rd True Freshman to start at Quarterback for NC State since the turn of the century.
