NC State has QB issues right now -- MJ Morris suffered a lower-body injury on Nov. 12 in a 21-20 loss to Boston College. Doeren declined to give an update on Morris' health. Ben Finley would be next in line at quarterback if Morris can't return.


I have more faith in the younger Tagovailoa than whichever QB that NC State trots out. The two teams are somewhat evenly matched, and I have more faith that the Maryland offense and they won their bowl game last season by 35 and seem to do well when they have time to prep.

NC State is dealing with some injuries to some impactful players besides the QB's. In a battle of great offense vs great defense, I am taking the great offense in this case. Maryland is 5-1 ATS in their last six following an ATS win and 6-1 ATS in their last seven against non-conference opponents.
Go with Maryland here on Friday afternoon as I also like the un-ranked team here in a near pick'em spot.
