Arizona State pounded on the ground as NC State sets rushing record

North Carolina State ran for a Hyundai Sun Bowl record six rushing touchdowns on their way to a 52-31 victory over Arizona State. NC State bullied their way for six rushing scores today, with three different running backs each scoring.

NC State’s Nyheim Hines was named the Hyundai Sun Bowl’s MVP after a trio of touchdowns—which was one away from tying the Sun Bowl record—and 101 total yards.

Along with Hines’ big day, his backup running back Reggie Gallaspy rushed for a game-high 79 yards of his own and found the endzone once. Jaylen Samuels punched the fifth and sixth rushing scores.
