NC State coach mum on QB plans ahead of Duke’s Mayo Bowl
Associated PressThe AP Top 25 college football poll is back every week throughout the season! CHARLOTTE, N.C. — North Carolina State coach Dave Doeren remains non-committal as to who’ll start Friday at quarterback for the 25th-ranked Wolfpack when they face Maryland in the Duke’s Mayo Bowl. “Everybody knows that when you have three weeks to prepare.. You know Robert is over there and you’re wondering is he implementing any of his stuff from Syracuse, or what are they doing?” SUPPORTING BROTHER Maryland quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa has been following the situation closely with the Miami Dolphins, where his brother Tua is back in the concussion protocol for the second time this season. Because he’s still young.” ENDING ON HIGH NOTE NC State was expected to challenge for the Atlantic Coast Conference title, but the injury to Leary was a crushing blow and the Wolfpack finished 8-4 with disappointing losses to Syracuse, Boston College and Louisville in the second half of the season. “I don’t know if you can really knock our team for the season that we have had just because of the circumstances that we faced,” said Wolfpack linebacker Drake Thomas.
