The past two seasons under Offensive Coordinator Robert Anae were a conundrum at NC State. Anae was developed under Mike Leach, who was famous for his Air Raid offense.
The Wolfpack’s passing game in 2023 and 2024, however, was more dink-and-dunk than Air Raid.
With Kurt Roper taking the reins as NC State’s offensive coordinator in 2025, will the Wolfpack unleash Sophomore Quarterback CJ Bailey to sling the ball down the field this season?
The game plan in NC State’s 24–17 win over ECU last Thursday might indicate the answer is “yes.”
Roper coached the quarterbacks the past two seasons and is still overseeing the Wolfpack QBs as offensive coordinator in 2025.
