How?

NC State won by a score of 45-7!

In their game verses Furman they rushed for 218 yards on the ground!

Zonovan Knight and Ricky Person, Jr. were in the backfield together Knight had 104 yards on 11 carries with a touchdown while Person, Jr carried 8 times for 41 yards and a score.

On the Wolfpack's second possession of the game, five of the eight plays were handoffs to Knight. He gained 56 yards, including a 42-yard carry into the red zone and capped the drive with the game's first score.

With the run game clicking early, it was time for QB Devin Leary to go to work in the air. He picked apart the Paladins in the first half connecting on 23 of 29 passes, three touchdowns, and a rushing score.

On his touchdown run, Leary got a great seal block by Knight to clear the path.

"Once we got to our rhythm and were able to execute on plays, it's just a constant flow of executing and making the right plays, right blocks," Leary explained. "When you get out of that rhythm, it's difficult."

One play to remember was a 42-yard connection from Leary to freshman WR Anthony Smith down the sideline. The young wideout made a great adjustment on the ball to make the catch and then dove into the end zone. It's a prime example of a receiver helping out his quarterback.
