"He's not thinking nearly as much," Doeren said. "Last year, he pressed at times in the spring and felt like he had to do everything on his own."The Wolfpack came on strong at the end of last season, winning four of their final five games - including a 35-7 rout of North Carolina and a 34-27 win over Central Florida in the Bitcoin Bowl.
Brissett threw at least one touchdown pass in each of the final seven games, and also rushed for 167 yards and a score against the Tar Heels.
"I think as the year went on he got more and more comfortable being the manager of the game and understanding that he doesn't have to win the game every play," Doeren said. "You just see him now - a play doesn't look good, he'll get out of it and get to the next play."
N.C. State returns just one starting wideout - Bra'Lon Cherry, who caught 27 passes for 354 yards a year ago.
"As a quarterback, the main thing is just getting time with the receivers," Brissett said."
