The Wolfpacker Show: Previewing NC State vs. Wake Forest
NC State is looking to start its first two-game winning streak as Wake Forest visits Carter-Finley Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The Wolfpack owns a 9-2 record against the Demon Deacons at home since 2001.
The Pack knocked off Northern Illinois last week, while the Demon Deacons are looking to shake an early-season three-game losing streak. Wake Forest most recently lost 41-38 against Louisiana at home last weekend.
In this episode, the hosts discussed:
– What NC State can do to exploit Wake Forest’s defense, which ranks as one of the worst in the ACC. The Demon Deacons are last in the conference in run defense (184.8 yards allowed a game), while Wake Forest’s pass defense is second to last (285.8 yards allowed per game) this season.
– Who is primed for a big game against Wake Forest’s defense? Noah explained how one part of the Wolfpack’s offense could lead to success in another area on Saturday afternoon.

– In addition to Wake Forest’s quarterback, Ethan and Noah talked about the Demon Deacons’ skill position players, which have the ability to break the game wide open with their elite speed and play-making ability. Wide receiver Taylor Morin is one to watch in space, while running back Demond Clairborne is a weapon in the backfield for the Demon Deacons.
– Then, Ethan and Noah shared their weekly predictions for the game. Who will lead the team in rushing, receiving (maybe Wake Forest transfer wideout Wesley Grimes?) and tackles this weekend? What will the final score be? Stay tuned to the end to find out.
