Dayes Out for Season

Wolfpack head coach Dave Doeren announced Dayes will undergo surgery Friday and miss the final four games of the season.

"I'm disappointed for Matt because he was having a really good year," Doeren said. "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."

Dayes trails only FSU’s Dalvin Cook and Clemson’s Wayne Gallman among ACC running backs with 865 yards, and leads the conference with 12 rushing scores.
