RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) --- Duke Scott rushed for 128 yards and two touchdowns ---
all in the first half --- and N.C. State rolled past Richmond 73-0 on a stormy
Friday night.
Quarterback CJ Bailey was 13-for-17 passing for 281 yards with one touchdown
and another TD on the ground for the Wolfpack (1-1), who recovered nicely after
a season-opening loss at Virginia 13 days earlier. Backup QB Will Wilson ran
for three short touchdowns and tossed a TD pass. Keenan Jackson posted 123
receiving yards on four catches.
Richmond (0-2), an FCS member, was held to 110 yards of offense. Quarterback
Ashten Snelsire was 8 for 23 for 76 yards with an interception.
Scott ran 65 yards on the first snap of N.C. State's second possession for what
became a 14-0 lead less than 4 1/2 minutes into the game.
The Wolfpack scored touchdowns on their first six possessions, with only one of
those drives lasting more than five plays.
There was a lightning-related delay of about 90 minutes early in the second
quarter. Once play resumed, there was no normal halftime break, while the
fourth quarter was reduced to 10 minutes.
The takeaway
Richmond: The Spiders failed to produce their first 3-0 start to a season since
2011 (other than a shortened 2021 spring season). After outscoring their first
two opponents in the first halves by a combined score of 48-0, they trailed
49-0 by halftime in Friday night's game.
N.C. State: The Wolfpack received little resistance in scoring touchdowns on
seven of eight first-half possessions on the way to improving to 13-1 in home
openers under coach Dave Doeren.
Up next
Richmond: Hosts Georgetown Sept. 19 in a Patriot League game.
N.C. State: At Vanderbilt Sept. 19.
