On the Stanford Cardinal podcast with Michael Roberson:

#1 The NC State Wolfpack’s (5-4) Hollywood Smothers and Jordan Waters both carried for two touchdowns and quarterback CJ Bailey also contributed with three touchdowns of his own as the Wolfpack crushed the Stanford Cardinal (2-7) 59-28 Saturday at NC State.

#2 The Wolfpack were stoked as they snapped their two game home losing streak with a dominate first half and scoring three touchdowns in four plays and went through the Cardinal defense like butter.

#3 Waters 94 yard run against the Stanford defense was NC State’s second longest in school history. “Today things clicked and that’s what efficiency looks like,” N.C. State coach Dave Doeren said.

#4 The Cardinal on offense saw quarterback Ashton Daniels score two of the three touchdowns in the Stanford’s first six possessions. Daniels 129 yards rushing on 11 carries ties a single game record for a quarterback at Stanford.

#5 Next up for the Cardinal it’s back to Stanford for the Cardinals vs. the Cardinal. The Louisville Cardinal come calling this Sat Nov 16th at a time to be announced. Louisville are an above .500 team they have Georgia Tech, Virginia, and Boston College. The Cardinals are sixth in the ACC. The Cardinal are third from last from last in the ACC. Stanford going into Saturday’s game are on a six game losing streak and are still looking to get fire lit underneath them.
