CJ Bailey - Upsets Georgia Tech Bailey was 24-for-32 passing for 340 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 48-36 victory against Georgia Tech. He also had five rushes for 34 yards with one touchdown.
Impact Bailey had one of his best games of the season, completing 75 percent of his passes and delivering his second-best yardage total of the campaign. The sophomore accounted for three touchdowns, which was his fifth time doing so. While a pair of three-interception games has put a damper on an otherwise excellent season, Bailey has totaled 2,411 passing yards and a 19:7 TD:INT while adding 137 yards and four scores on the ground across nine games. He's two yards short of matching his 2024 passing yards total, which he achieved in 12 games.

NC State Stuns No. 8 Georgia Tech at home to Hand Yellow Jackets’ 1st Loss
Hollywood Smothers - Officially ruled out Smothers (undisclosed) isn't playing against Georgia Tech, per Noah Fleischman of On3Sports.
Impact The star tailback wasn't spotted in warmups, so this ultimately doesn't come as a surprise. Smothers will miss his first game of the season, which means Jayden Scott should handle the majority of the work in the Wolfpack backfield, with a dash of Deandre Desinor sprinkled in there as well.

Hollywood Smothers - Absent from warmups Smothers (undisclosed) wasn't spotted warming up ahead of NC State's tilt with Georgia Tech, per Noah Fleischman of On3Sports.
Impact Smothers appears to be trending in the wrong direction ahead of the Wolfpack's huge game against Georgia Tech. Redshirt freshman tailback Jayden Scott was reportedly taking first-team reps in his stead during warmups, and Scott would figure to see the lion's share of carries with a little Deandre Desinor sprinkled in as well.
NOVEMBER 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Justin Joly - Not dressed Saturday Joly (leg) isn't dressed during pregame warmups ahead of Saturday's game against Georgia Tech, Noah Fleischman of On3Sports reports.
Impact Joly won't participate in Saturday's contest after being labeled a game-time decision due to a leg injury. It'll be the tight end's first absence of 2025. Look for Cody Hardy and Dante Daniels to see most of the tight end work against GT. Joly's next chance to play will come Nov. 15 against Miami.

Justin Joly - Deemed a game-time call Joly (leg) is a game-time decision for NC State's tilt with Georgia Tech.
Impact Joly is in danger of missing his first game, and looks to be a true game-time call against the Yellow Jackets. The star tight end has 36 catches for 365 yards and five touchdowns this season, but if he's forced to sit out, expect Cody Hardy and Dante Daniels to hold down the tight end spot.
NOVEMBER 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Hollywood Smothers - Officially a GTD Smothers (undisclosed) is a game-time decision for Saturday's game against Georgia Tech.
Impact Smothers was listed as questionable on NC State's initial injury report, and the team's final availability report didn't offer much more clarity. The star running back will be a game-time decision for the contest. If Smothers can't go, look for Jayden Scott to lead the Wolfpack backfield, while Coleson Fields or Darius Johnson could mix in.

Jonathan Paylor - Out again Paylor (undisclosed) won't suit up Saturday against Georgia Tech.
Impact Paylor has not played this year and remains without any firm timetable to return. His next chance will be in Week 12 versus Miami on Nov. 15.
OCTOBER 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Justin Joly - Officially questionable Joly (leg) is questionable for Saturday's game against Georgia Tech.
Impact Joly exited early last week after suffering an apparent leg injury on a touchdown catch. He was having a career game with six catches for 101 yards and two scores. Joly would be a massive loss for the passing game if he's unable to go and would open up opportunities for Cody Hardy and Dante Daniels to get more work.
OCTOBER 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Hollywood Smothers - Gets questionable tag Smothers is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against Georgia Tech.
Impact Smothers' status is up in the air with the running back dealing with an apparent injury. He handled fewer than 10 carries for just the second time this season last week but was still effective, turning eight carries into 86 yards and a score. Jayden Scott could be in for an extended opportunity if Smothers were to miss.

CJ Bailey - Rebounds with three-score game Bailey was 24-for-40 passing for 225 yards and three touchdowns during Saturday's 53-34 loss against Pittsburgh. He also had six rushes for 39 yards.
Impact Bailey finished with season worsts in completion percentage and passing yards in his previous start, but the sophomore bounced back with a solid stat line against Pitt. He threw multiple touchdown passes for the fifth time in six appearances, and his 39 rushing yards were his best since Week 2. He has completed 70.2 percent of his passes through eight games this season.
OCTOBER 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Hollywood Smothers - Tops 100 yards from scrimmage Smothers notched eight carries for 86 yards and one touchdown and caught 3 of 5 targets for 25 yards during Saturday's 53-34 loss against Pittsburgh.
Impact Smothers saw a reduced workload for a third straight game, receiving just 11 touches Saturday. He made the most of his opportunities, though, averaging 10 yards per touch. Smothers saw 16 touches in Week 7 and six touches in Week 6. He had received at least 19 touches in every game before Week 6. Blowouts have been the primary reason for Smothers' decreased involvement. On the year, Smothers has 825 rushing yards, six rushing touchdowns, 28 receptions, 170 receiving yards and one touchdown.
OCTOBER 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Noah Rogers - Scores in Week 9 Rogers gathered in 3 of 5 targets for 26 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 53-34 defeat versus Pittsburgh.
Impact Rogers snapped a six-game scoring drought Saturday, catching a two-yard touchdown pass from CJ Bailey in the closing minutes of the blowout loss. Through eight games, Rogers has caught 18 of his 31 targets for 261 yards and two touchdowns.
OCTOBER 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Terrell Anderson - Quiet against Pitt Anderson reeled in 2 of 5 targets for 23 yards during Saturday's 53-34 loss versus Pittsburgh.
Impact Anderson saw his most targets in a game since Week 4, but the opportunities yielded meager results. He tied his season low in receptions and had his worst yardage total since Week 1. The sophomore has totaled 26 catches for 468 yards and four touchdowns in eight games this season.
OCTOBER 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Teddy Hoffmann - Logs passing, receiving TD Hoffmann had four receptions (on six targets) for 55 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 53-34 loss versus Pittsburgh.
Impact Hoffmann, a true freshman, was entrusted with throwing the football on a trick play, and the gamble paid off as Hoffmann hit Justin Joly in stride for a 59-yard touchdown. Hoffmann later notched a receiving touchdown of his own - the first of his college career. After totaling six catches for 15 yards from Weeks 2 to 6, Hoffmann has caught six passes for 102 yards in his last two games.

Impact Joly limped into the end zone on a 59-yard catch and run with three minutes left in the second period and was assisted off the field. While he did return to the game, Joly didn't catch another pass and was limited in his workload. Joly caught six passes for 101 yards and two scores on the day. Be on the lookout for a status update ahead of Saturday's game against Georgia Tech.
