Notes

• Redshirt Freshman Wide Receiver Noah Rogers had team high grade of 74.3, which was a season high for him.
  • No offense to True Freshman Keenan Jackson, but his grade was 45.4, and he played 4 more snaps than Rogers. How is Rogers not playing more snaps? My assumption is that Jackson is being brought in for run blocking over Rogers. Jackson played 16 snaps in run blocking situations, while Rogers played 7. If that’s the reason, the grades didn’t prove Jackson needed to be on the field over Rogers. Noah’s run blocking grade was 61.4, while Jackson’s was 47.5.
• Junior Tight End Justin Joly’s grade of 44.0 is a season low.
• Keenan Jackson’s grade of 45.4 is a season low.
• Sophomore Running Back Kendrick Raphael’s grade of 53.4 was a season low.
• As a team, the Wolfpack’s offense graded out at 54.8, which is the 2nd lowest grade of the season, behind a 51.2 against Tennessee.
