  11/06/22 - QB MJ MorrisJr/2026, Maryland

  MJ Morris has given No. 21 North Carolina State the spark it needed. The first-year passer threw for three scores while the Wolfpack's defense thrice picked off Sam Hartman to beat No. 20 Wake Forest 30-21 on Saturday night. He threw for 210 yards in becoming the first true freshman in more than 22 years to start for the Wolfpack (7-2, 3-2 Atlantic Coast Conference), following his three-TD effort in last week's comeback home win against Virginia Tech. This performance, though, came against a ranked instate foe featuring a veteran star quarterback in Hartman leading a high-scoring offense. "He's way ahead of where we thought he would be at this point in his career," Wolfpack coach Dave Doeren said of Morris. Morris hit Darryl Jones for two of his touchdowns and Keyon Lesane for another to lead the offense.

He also directed a key late drive that took four minutes off the clock and set up Christopher Dunn's 25-yard field goal to make it a two-possession game with 2:54 left. And it was another boost for a team that lost preseason ACC player of the year Devin Leary at quarterback to a season-ending injury less than a month ago. "That's one of the things Coach Doeren told me last week: "Just bring that juice because the whole team is going to revolve around you," Morris said. Meanwhile, the Wolfpack's veteran defense got after Hartman for four sacks and plenty of pressure up front. The unit also got an early boost by standing up when the Demon Deacons got a first-and-goal at the 1-yard line, forcing three straight negative-yardage plays followed by a missed field goal. This wasn't the type of performance Dave Clawson wanted from his Demon Deacons (6-3, 2-3), who lost at Louisville last week while committing eight turnovers - six by Hartman in the third quarter alone. Hartman threw for 397 yards and connected with Taylor Morin and A.T. Perry for touchdowns in this one, while Perry had 12 catches for 159 yards. But the Demon Deacons managed just 17 yards rushing to put everything on Hartman's right arm. - NC State/AP College Football
