Brennan Armstrong piled up 303 yards of total offense and North Carolina State routed VMI 45-7 on Saturday afternoon. Armstrong led N.C. State (2-1) by completing 27-of-32 passes (84%) for 264 yards and a touchdown and rushing for 39 yards on six carries. “This was a great game for us, to just get back on track and play efficient.”
N.C. State is coming off a loss to Notre Dame with multiple issues to address. The Wolfpack can address those against the Keydets, a Championship Subdivision team coming off a loss at Bucknell. This is more about the Wolfpack pass-catchers cutting down their own miscues than matching up with the Keydets.
This is one of the Wolfpack’s oldest series, dating back to 1896, but the programs haven’t met in nearly 80 years.
“If we can learn from that game, really push forward, become better and learn from our mistakes, I think that game – when we look back – it’s going to help us more than hurt us.”
The NC State Wolfpack welcomed Notre Dame to Carter-Finley for the fourth-ever meeting between the two programs. The last game took place in 2017.
