UNC vs NC State: X-Factor

What a difference four weeks can make in a college football season.

At one point, NC State looked to be in the mud, benching Brennan Armstrong after a 13-10 loss to Louisville. MJ Morris, who depending on how you squint while watching him play, was delivering wins, but decided to opt out of the rest of the season to preserve his redshirt.

Armstrong was summoned back to the fore, and he has shaken off the shame and regret of his early NC State experience to suddenly give the Wolfpack its bite back on offense. They now host their crosstown rival UNC, and they smell blood.
