What an experience that was yesterday. Of all the conceivable scenarios that came with MJ Morris taking over at quarterback, I did not have “score 48 points” high on my list. But NC State did just that—and not against some garbage defense, either, as Marshall came in ranked in to top 40 in defensive SP+.
That Morris was able to brush off a disastrous first quarter and lead his team to a tough victory was an impressive display of mental fortitude. It could have gotten rough after that bad gaffe for the pick-six, but he kept it together and had a good day.
