NC State learned the hard way just how vital running back Nyheim Hines was to their team this past Saturday against Notre Dame.
Hines went down with a sprained ankle early in the game, and was unable to return. He finished the game with 2 carries for 6 yards.
H-Back Jaylen Samuels went from being all over the field, to being locked in the backfield like a traditional running back, and he only rushed for 18 yards on 18 carries. I know Samuels can do everything, but he does some things better than others, like any other human being.
