Wolfpack's leading rusher out for the season

N.C. State running back Matt Dayes is out for the season with a foot injury.

N.C. State suffered a serious setback on Thursday when it learned that leading rusher, running back Matt Dayes, will miss the rest of the season with a foot injury.

“I’m disappointed for Matt because he was having a really good year,” N.C. State coach Dave Doeren said in a statement. “But in football you’ve got to have a ‘next man up’ mentality and I’m confident that his teammates will be ready to take on bigger roles and be successful.”

The 5-9, 203-pound junior was the ACC’s third-leading rusher with 865 yards.
