It doesn’t require a deep assessment to understand why NC State has already won three ACC games after winning just one all of last season. The quarterback play has been significantly better—specifically, Devin Leary has been significantly better.
We never knew what we were going to get out of the passing attack last season, other than that it would be bad, whatever it was. State had nothing to hang its hat on schematically, and there was a crippling lack of efficiency evident. That’s all changed.
An individual passer eclipsed 300 yards through the air just once last year—Matt McKay against ECU—and as a team, the Pack hit 300 yards through the air only twice.
