Look, everyone, everything’s fine again! Football team’s fixed! NC State ran the ball well, won the battle in the trenches on both sides of the ball with ease, forced a few turnovers, and scored a bunch of points. The breakout team is back!
Well, y’know, not really ... but the nice thing about playing a cupcake like Furman is they sure can make you feel good about everything for a few hours. Few of the problems that plagued NC State in the first two weeks were apparent on Saturday, and obviously, none mattered.
Jaylen Samuels was kindly handed a trio of very easy touchdowns by the coaching staff (hey, he’s earned those) and also had another fine grab, snagging a ball thrown over the middle and tipped by a Furman defender several yards in front of him.
