Brennan Armstrong discusses developing NC State offense
By all accounts, NC State did a good job picking up the initial installation of offensive coordinator Robert Anae’s system during spring practice. Now that fall camp is underway, the Wolfpack is starting to implement the more complex concepts that could make this team truly explosive.
Brennan Armstrong is getting back into the rhythm of the offense he had so much success playing in during career at UVA.
The sixth-year signal caller said he remembers how it feels to play in Anae’s offense when it is operating at a high level, and that the rest of the team is starting to understand that too. He shared some encouraging comments on the Wolfpack’s progress so far this fall.
“We’ve got a lot of stuff to still work on, but the guys are starting to see it,” Armstrong said. “I think they’re starting to feel it, how explosive we’re trying to be.”
When the offense gets a chance to compete against the NC State defense, which will likely be one of the tougher units the group faces this fall, it helps Armstrong and the rest of the offense see how this unit will operate on game days.
“If they’re going to give us the answer to the test and get a guy one on one, we’re going to take it,” Armstrong said. “That’s when confidence and chemistry has got to be built, to trust and go make those plays.”
Armstrong said the Wolfpack offense continues to take its development day-by-day, but he is steadily strengthening his connection with the receiver corps. Keyon Lesane is making a lot of plays during camp, the quarterback shared.

When everything comes together offensively, it could take NC State to a new level.
“Once you get that feeling, especially from your receivers, you’re pretty unstoppable because you’re so confident in what they’re doing in their routes and just their playmaking ability,” Armstrong said. “It makes you feel good as a quarterback but also gives them confidence because they’re the ones who are going to have to make the play.”
A scrimmage scheduled for Aug. 10 will be the next step in the Wolfpack offense’s development. Going into the first showdown of the fall inside Carter-Finley Stadium, Armstrong said he looks forward to using the competition to gauge where NC State stands just over a week into camp.
“Thursday is going to be a good tell of where we’re at because we haven’t really got a full scrimmage yet,” Armstrong said.
