The Wolfpack come into play with a 7-5 in total record and a 4-4 record in the ACC Atlantic Division. For them, it’s a homecoming of sorts. Head coach Tom O’Brien is in his fifth year with the Wolfpack amassing a 32-30 record. North Carolina State averages 28 points per game on offense and 24.8 points per game on defense. NCS has gone 1-1 against rated foes this year winning against #7 Clemson and losing to #21 Georgia Tech. A bright spot for the Wolfpack is that they have been triumphant in their past two matches and are trying to add to that number.

NCS is stabilized by senior Qb Mike Glennon and junior Running back James Washington in the backfield. Downfield hazards incorporate senior WR T.J. Graham and junior WR Tobias Palmer.
