M.J. Morris’ redshirt should still be on the table
For one game, the woes of the NC State offense seemed to be solved by a single player. Against Marshall, M.J. Morris stepped into the starting QB role and, despite a few miscues, the offense rolled to a 48-point outburst in an eventual victory over the Thundering Herd. Morris passed for 265 yards in that game and took a secondary role in the running game. Former starting QB Brennan Armstrong had led the Wolfpack in carries in each of the four previous games against FBS opponents. Clearly, the NC State offense is best suited for success when it can get the ball out of the hands of the QB - both in the air and on the ground.
