Quote of the day
This quote is from On3’s Matt Carter reflecting on the home stretch of the season for Wolfpack football.
“NC State should beat Boston College and Virginia Tech. On paper, UNC is a tough matchup, but the schedule may skew some of that perception. Louisville is another tough one to fairly figure out because they have the type of quarterback that would give the Pack’s defense problems in Malik Cunningham.
“Wake Forest is the one that other than being in Raleigh there is not a lot to like about the matchup.
“So the tally: two games that should be won, two games that will be a challenge and one where NC State is a sure underdog.”
