NC State hosts Louisville and their high-powered offense for a Friday night fight under the lights of Carter-Finley Stadium. Following the departure of their former head coach and the ensuing roster turnover, the Cardinals have been surprisingly great in the early going, dominating on all sides of the ball during their 4-0 start to the Jeff Brohm era.
NC State, meanwhile, is off to a 3-1 start, with the lone loss being a late collapse against a very good Notre Dame team. It hasn’t been all peaches for the Wolfpack, though, as the defense has given up an alarming number of big plays and the offense hasn’t yet clicked under first-year coordinator Robert Anae.
