A common refrain when speaking about the 2021 NC State Wolfpack offense is the lack of a running game. On the surface, that argument has merit. However, when you look in more detail, it’s not the case.
I’m here to tell you: It’s not that NC State can’t run the ball, it’s just that they don’t.
Now let me be perfectly clear here from the start. This is not an argument that NC State should have run the ball more this season at the expense of the passing game. When you have Devin Leary operating at the level he has this year, you ride that golden goose as much as you can.
