Justin Joly - Four catches in loss Joly gathered in 4 of 6 targets for 30 yards during Saturday's 51-10 loss against Tennessee.
Impact Joly has now seen six targets in each of NC State's first two games. That's a good sign that the tight end will be a fixture of this passing attack for the foreseeable future. He only managed to turn that into 30 yards in the midsts of a blowout loss to Tennessee, but still, Joly remains a staple of the Wolfpack's arial attack early in the season.

Kevin Concepcion - Most productive wideout in blowout Concepcion caught 5 of 7 targets for 53 yards during Saturday's 51-10 loss to Tennessee.
Impact Conception remains the Wolfpack's top receiving threat, but that meat very little in the midst of a 41-point blowout at the hands of the Volunteers. NC State's offense was completely shut down for the majority of the contest, and that was reflected its stats across the board. The superstar receiver Conception was no exception. His five catches for 53 yards wasn't a terrible output, but it was a far cry from the nine for 121 yards and a score he posted in the opener. His targets also dipped significantly from Week.1 to Week 1, but again, much of that can be attributed to the blowout. He'll remain the top player at the position for the Wolfpack.

Hollywood Smothers - Limited in blowout defeat Smothers totaled six carries for 25 yards and gathered in all three targets for one yard during Saturday's 51-10 loss against Tennessee.
Impact Smothers, and the rest of the Wolfpack's backfield, couldn't get going on the ground in Saturday's blowout loss to Tennessee. The tailback actually managed to double his carries from the opener, but that still only amounted to 25 yards on the ground. Notably, Smothers also reeled in three catches, but only parlayed that into a single yard. If he becomes a staple of the passing game, Smothers could find some value, but he's a rather forgotten part of this NC State offense at the moment.
