Jakobi Meyers leads this offense

The wide receiver group is deep and talented with Kelvin Harmon, Steph Louis and Jakobi Meyers. This has to be a great feeling for quarterback Ryan Finley to have so many weapons and it wouldn’t be a surprise if every week it was a different wide receiver that led this offense.

The first game of the season though it was Jakobi Meyers, who finished with 14 receptions for 161 yards. He made key plays down the stretch, and specifically on that final drive, that helped secure the victory for the Wolfpack.

If the run game continues to struggle like it did against James Madison, the pressure will be on this passing attack. However, they showed just how good they can be and look like they will have plenty of opportunities to showcase that this season.
