NC State running back Matt Dayes out for season with foot injury

In the present, the Eagles were on their fourth starting quarterback on Saturday against N.C. State, each one with less game experience than the one before.

The Eagles are in a different stage of the process, one that Addazio said he saw coming when he took the job three years ago.

N.C. State running back Matt Dayes will miss the rest of the season after suffering a foot injury during last week’s loss against Clemson.

Brissett connected on a 33-yard pass to junior wide receiver Jumichael Ramos at the BC 9-yard line to set up NC State’s second scored of the half.

“That number is good”, Huxtable said. “Right now, we just have too many young guys on the field to keep our consistency in any way, shape, or form”. It’s the latest hit in what has been an uphill battle going through ACC play.

Jacoby Brissett threw an 83-yard touchdown pass to Maurice Trowell early in the second quarter and North Carolina State sent Boston College to its sixth straight loss, 24-8 on Saturday. He’s also carried 29 times for 208 yards and six scores.

N.C. State recovered 47.6 percent of the fumbles it caused last season (10 of 21) and 52.9 percent (9 of 17) in Doeren’s first year in 2013.

The Wolfpack caused nine turnovers in the last five games of 2014.

On the season, Samuels has 208 rushing yards on 29 carries and six touchdowns.

“Sixty-three of our eighty-five players are freshman or sophomores”, BC coach Steve Addazio said.

Boston College can save what’s been a rough season with a win against rival Notre Dame.

The Eagles are searching for any kind of spark for an offense that’s ranked 126th in the country, collecting just 276 yards per game and 123th through the air. The only close game was in 2011, a 14-10 final.

4 N.C. State road wins this season, including its first ACC win at Boston College since the Eagles joined the league in 2005. Doeren said his team would like to add another to the list. Doeren said Dayes was meeting with a medical specialist later in the day to discuss the injury, though the school hasn’t specified the exact nature of the injury. “That’s important to them”.

In a 63-13 win at South Alabama on September 26, N.C. State ran for a season-best 330 yards with Thornton (111) and Dayes (104) both cracking the 100-yard mark.
