The Wolfpacker’s Thursday morning newsstand
NC State spent this week preparing for its only power-five non-conference test of the season— a primetime matchup against Texas Tech this Saturday. Offensive coordinator Tim Beck, linebacker Isaiah Moore and wide receiver Thayer Thomas spoke with the media after practice Wednesday, discussing their week 3 showdown.
Here’s more from The Wolfpacker’s article ‘NC State coordinator Tim Beck sees a challenge in Texas Tech.’
The NC State football fans in attendance last Saturday for the Wolfpack’s 55-3 win over Charleston Southern probably did not notice the new red LED lights installed at Carter-Finley Stadium. They were on, but the 12:30 kickoff and accompanying daylight prevented spectators from seeing their glow.
That should change this Saturday when Texas Tech comes to Raleigh. The kickoff is at 7 p.m. Within a half hour the sun will set, and by the second half, at the latest, the bright impact of the new lighting system should be visible for all NC State fans to see.
NC State super senior linebacker Isaiah Moore is one of the few to have seen them. Moore helped with the social media reveal.
“It’s nice, man,” Moore admitted. “I can’t wait to see it. I won’t give away secrets, but I can’t wait to see it out there.”

His classmate, receiver Thayer Thomas, has also had a chance to take a look.
“I’ve walked out a couple of times at nighttime after watching film and they were testing them out and they seem really cool,” Thomas added. “I’m definitely excited to see that.”
Third-year NC State offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach Tim Beck knows that new lights aside, “We are going to have a wild, crazy crowd.” Beck understands his players will be excited, but they also have a job to do.
“They are a really good, sound, physical, fast football team,” Beck said of Texas Tech.

Quote of the day
This quote is from Texas Tech football head coach Joey McGuire talking about NC State head coach Dave Doeren.
“I’m getting to play one of my favorite people in the world,” McGuire said. “Dave Doeren and I go back a long way. He actually has a huge fingerprint on Cedar Hill. He was at Kansas in 2003, and he was the first guy to offer one of my guys whenever I was a head coach. He offered Marcus Herford, who played at Kansas, had a really good career, and we’ve been friends ever since.”
