NC State Buries Richmond 73-0 and Runs for 428 Yards
428 rushing yards on 45 carries. That works out to 9.5 a pop, and it is why NC State beat Richmond 73-0.
It was over almost immediately. Davion Gause ran 19 yards for a touchdown with 11:21 left in the first quarter, and Jayden Scott followed 37 seconds later with a 65-yard run. A 7-yard Scott touchdown at 1:01 made it 21-0 before the first quarter ended. By halftime it was 49-0, with CJ Bailey scoring from a yard out, Will Wilson twice from a yard out, and Bailey throwing 15 yards to Preston Douglas for the other. Nobody tied it, nobody led except NC State, and Richmond never got on the board.
The third quarter added two more. Wilson ran in from 5 yards and then threw a 3-yard touchdown to Hunter Provience, so the quarterback who had run for three scores also threw one. Kanoah Vinesett kicked a 45-yard field goal in the fourth, and Dylan McCoy finished the day with a 51-yard run with 1:49 left. That makes ten touchdowns and a field goal, and the only mess on the stat sheet is one fumble lost.
The Wolfpack piled up 734 total yards, 306 passing and 428 rushing, with no interceptions and two sacks on defense. Keenan Jackson caught four passes for 123 yards, which would have been the headline anywhere else. NC State moves to 1-1. Richmond is 0-1.
For fantasy, two quarterbacks and a running back all cleared 24 points (Wilson, Bailey and Scott). That does not happen often.
