Hollywood Smothers News: Inefficient but productive

Smothers compiled 22 rushes for 76 yards and one touchdown and reeled in all four targets for 30 yards during Thursday's 24-17 win over East Carolina.

Smothers dominated backfield work Thursday, with Jayden Scott's four carries ranking as the second most carries by a Wolfpack running back. While Smothers averaged just 3.4 yards per carry, he still put together a strong fantasy game, finding paydirt on a two-yard touchdown run in the third quarter. Smothers averaged over six yards per carry in 2024, but never handled more than 16 carries in a contest.
