On Saturday, NC State will be starting True Freshman CJ Bailey at Quarterback against Clemson on the road.
Last Saturday in the Wolfpack’s game against Louisiana Tech, Redshirt Senior Grayson McCall left the game late in the first half due to injury. At the time, NC State was losing, and True Freshman CJ Bailey came into the game, and helped lead the Wolfpack to a 30-20 comeback victory.
The last time NC State started a True Freshman Quarterback in a road game?
You have to go all the way back to 2000, when a guy by the name of Philip Rivers was the Wolfpack’s starting Quarterback.
