Among the many topics discussed:
• The Wolfpacker dives into the game from multiple angles and discusses whether or not Wake Forest should be considered a strong favorite, or if the contest should be considered more of a toss-up.
Also, why there was agreement between both Matt and Justin that a lopsided score probably would be more likely for one team than the other.
• Breaking down Wake Forest and what makes them so hard to defense with the slow mesh offense. Also, can anything be taken away from the Demon Deacons losing at Louisville, or was that a bad thing for NC State?
• What approach should NC State take on offense? Should the Wolfpack be methodical to try to shorten the game up and keep the Wake Forest prolific offense off the field, or should NC State come out firing and be aggressive to set an early tone?
Or is the answer perhaps a little bit of both?
• What about the Wake Forest defense, and what injury could be noteworthy on the Demon Deacons’ front.
