Darst's Take
Philip Rivers, Philip Rivers and more Philip Rivers. N.C. State did anything and everything behind the senior quarterback to easily beat Kansas 56-26. Rivers threw for five touchdowns, three in the first half on his way to a 475-yard night.
The senior had an almost perfect night, throwing for 475 yards on 37-of-45 passing and no interceptions. Rivers also threw five touchdowns to four different receivers. Two of his touchdown passes were 40 or more yards.
