N.C. State QB Mitchell to start Saturday

North Carolina State quarterback Brandon Mitchell will return to the starting lineup for Saturday's game against No. 3 Florida State after missing five games with a broken foot.

The announcement of Mitchell's return was made by Wolfpack coach Dave Doeren on Monday.

Mitchell was 3-for-3 for 91 yards before breaking his left foot in the third offensive series of the season-opener against Louisiana Tech.

His replacement, Pete Thomas, has thrown eight interceptions and just three touchdown passes for North Carolina State (3-3).
