NC State Has to Find a Way to Score Touchdowns with Leary Out

Published

on

I am beyond impressed with what NC State Place Kicker Chris Dunn has done in the first 7 games of the 2022 season. He is one of 10 kickers nationally to make all of their kicks thus far in 2022, and his 14 field goals are tied for the most in the nation. He was named a Midseason All-American by the Associated Press.

With that being said, NC State won’t continue to win football games if all they have to put points on the board is the leg of Chris Dunn.

The last time the Wolfpack scored a touchdown was in the 3rd quarter of the Florida State game, and that was a touchdown pass from Devin Leary to Darryl Jones.

When NC State failed to scored a touchdown up at Syracuse, it marked the first time in 101 games that the Wolfpack failed to get the ball across the goal line.

In 5.5 quarters of play since Jack Chambers replaced the injured Devin Leary, NC State has kicked 7 field goals.

That won’t get the job done.

Hopefully NC State Offensive Coordinator Tim Beck went to the play book during the Bye week and cooked up something new to work with Chambers behind center. When Leary went down with a broken fibula in 2020, Beck found away to move the offense with Bailey Hockman, winning 5 games.

Hopefully he can do it again.

NC State offered Stephen F. Austin (FCS) Transfer Defensive Tackle Brandon Lane (6’3″/300) yesterday.

Lane started in 6 of the 11 games he played in for Stephen F. Austin this past season. He finished the year with 44 tackles, 6.5 tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks. His PFF Grade was 74.6, which ranked 4th on the Lumberjacks Defense. His 79.9 Run Defense Grade ranked 3rd on the team. In 2022, Lane played 7 games as a reserve for Stephen F. Austin, recording 11 tackles 2.5 tackles for loss and 1 sack.

Lane spent his first two collegiate seasons at South Dakota State (2000-21). In 2000, he played in 1 game. In 2021, he played in 3 games as a reserve for the Jackrabbits. The 2000 season was the Covid Year, and the 2021 season was his redshirt year. As a result, Lane still has two years of eligibility remaining.

Around a week-and-a-half ago, Lane committed to Michigan St., but then he decommitted from the Spartans on May 2nd.

I don’t think Michigan St. is necessarily off the table, and he has visited Washington and West Virginia.
