Believe it or Not, NC State’s 2023 Defense is Superior to the 2022 Defense

Brennan Armstrong’s 2023 narrative is the making of a movie.

After coming to Raleigh for his final year of eligibility to reunite with Offensive Coordinator Robert Anae, expectations were high. Sure, he didn’t play well in 2022, but there was reason for optimism.

Armstrong started the first 5 games of the season, and the results were less than desirable. The Wolfpack offense was anemic, and Armstrong didn’t look like the player from 2021. In those 5 games, his Passing Efficiency Rating was a painful 112.54. He had thrown 6 interceptions to go along with his 5 touchdown passes.
