NC State Wolfpack vs. Kansas State Wildcats Analysis
North Carolina State’s Wolf Pack showcased a season where they averaged 26.7 points per game. However, it was their defensive prowess that truly defined them, allowing just over 20 points per game. In terms of offense, Brennan Armstrong played a pivotal role in his final College Football season, throwing 11 touchdowns and 6 interceptions.
Kevin Concepion emerged as the primary weapon in the passing game, scoring ten touchdowns on 64 receptions. Keyon Lesane, although second on the team, remained scoreless throughout the season but contributed with 5 receptions for 66 yards in their season-closing game against North Carolina.
This marks the Wolf Pack’s 35th bowl appearance in school history, with a current record of 17-16-1. Their most recent bowl game was in the Duke’s Mayo Bowl last season, resulting in a 16-12 loss to Maryland, making it three consecutive bowl defeats.
Kansas State’s top quarterback, Will Howard, a notable prospect in the upcoming NFL Draft, amassed over 2,600 yards and 24 touchdowns during the season. Unfortunately, the Wildcats will also be without their leading receiver, Ben Sinnott, who declared for the NFL Draft after securing 676 yards and 6 touchdowns.
To fill the void, Kansas State will turn to DJ Giddens, their running back who carried the ball 31 times in the game against Iowa State. Giddens concluded the season with nearly 1,100 rushing yards and 9 touchdowns, contributing to the Wildcats’ impressive ground game that averaged almost 200 yards per game, ranking 15th in the country.
This marks Kansas State’s 25th bowl game in school history, with last season’s 45-20 loss to Alabama in the Sugar Bowl and a victory over LSU in the Texas Bowl the previous season.
