NC State Wolfpack vs Wake Forest Demon Deacons

Philip Thompson: Why the Wolfpack will win...
  • Russell Wilson looks like the old Russell Wilson after last week’s performance. He now has 4 touchdown passes in each of the last 3 games.
  • The Pack’s defense is playing way above expectations. It can be a misleading stat, but they are currently #1 in the nation in yards per game allowed.
  • Wake lost a ton off of its defense from last season. New starters against Wilson and the rest of the Pack offense is not a good mixture.
Final Score
NC State 34
Wake Forest 23


Lawrence Jordan: Why the Wolfpack will lose...
  • I'm still not convinced NCSU's schedule merits any honors just yet. Pitt played a powder puff schedule before heading into Raleigh. WFU beat a good Stanford team in Winston-Salem - just where this game will be Saturday.
  • Riley Skinner seems to have awoken from whatever ailed him last season. His 68.8% completion rate is scary for the Pack secondary.
  • Pedergrass gives the Deacs big play potential and the Pack will have to make adjustments for him.
  • Jim Grobe is a great coach and will have his team ready to protect their house this weekend.
Final Score:
Wake Forest 28
NC State 24
