The Wolfpacker Podcast: NC State vs. Florida State preview
After suffering the first defeat of the 2022 season, NC State football (4-1 overall, 0-1 ACC) is preparing for the first ACC home game on the schedule. The Wolfpack welcomes Florida State, who like NC State is coming off their own initial defeat and is 4-1 overall with a 2-1 mark in the ACC. The game will be televised on ACC Network and kicks off at 8 p.m.
With host Justin H. Williams, The Wolfpacker‘s Matt Carter dive into the NC State-Florida State game from multiple angles in our weekly opponent preview podcast episode, which can be seen and heard below.
Among the many topics discussed:
• The Wolfpacker begins with the weekly “Upon Further Review” segment and takes one last look at the 30-20 loss to No. 5 Clemson on the road last Saturday.
• How does NC State rebound against the Seminoles? The two take a dive into Florida State and why this game will be far from a given for the Wolfpack.
• What one aspect of the Florida State football is significantly behind others and how that could be a determining factor if this turns out to be a close game with NC State on Saturday.
• How this game could determine a lot about the pecking order of the ACC. Are NC State and Wake Forest in a clear top three with Clemson? Is Florida State in the mix for that discussion, or is there still a bit of a gap between the Noles and the top team in the ACC?
Matt offers a blunt assessment of why if NC State wants to be considered good, this is a game that the Pack needs to win at home.
