NC State Has Not Had A 1,000 Yard Rusher In 8 Years - Tuffy Talk
from Tuffy Talk · host Tuffy Talk
NC State has not had a 1,000 yard rusher since Reggie Gallaspy went for 1,091 in 2018. Duke Scott takes over the backfield this season, and Ethan and I could not disagree more about whether he gets there.We ran seven season-long over/unders on this team and took opposite sides on the first three: CJ Bailey's passing yards, his touchdown total, and Scott at 1,000.Then Ethan found the number that should worry you. NC State finished plus three in turnover margin last season, but recovered 14 of the 20 fumbles that hit the ground in their games. Seventy percent. His argument is that recovering fumbles is not a skill, it is luck, and that regresses toward 50, which flips the margin the other way.Plus why Will Wilson has quietly taken every short yardage carry, and which receiver leads this rebuilt room in yards.14 days until NC State at Virginia.Follow Tuffy Talk wherever you listen, and catch us live every Monday at 8:30 PM on YouTube.Support the show on Patreon, 12 members-only NC State breakdowns a month for $5: patreon.com/c/tuffytalk#ad Powered by Oconee Gold BBQ.
