UNDER the Scope… NC State

Miami will host North Carolina State on Saturday at Hard Rock Stadium at 3:30 p.m. ET.

To advance to the college football playoffs, the Canes must win out, starting this weekend against the NC State.

So, let’s put the Wolfpack under the scope.

OFFENSE:

Total Offense Passing Rushing Points

438.6 YPG 277.8 YPG 160.8 YPG 33.2 PPG

Hollywood Smothers RB 825 YDS 6 TDS 6.9 AVG

Terrell Anderson WR 527 YDS 4 TDS 18.8 AVG

DEFENSE:

Kenny Soares Jr. LB 56 TKL 0.5 SACKS 1 FR

Cian Slone LB 44 TKL 1.5 SACKS 1 FR

SPECIAL TEAMS:

Field Goals 5/6 FGM 62.5%

BOTTOM LINE:

NC State’s strength is their offense, led by QB CJ Bailey. The Wolfpack weakness is their defense, specifically the passing defense. They give up more than 30 points a game.

GO CANES!
