Wake Forest football is back on the road this weekend, playing NC State in Raleigh. To give some context for how to think about this game, I’m going to look at the recent history between these two programs, how NC State’s season is lining up, and how a win or loss for Wake plays into its bowl aspirations.
Recent Series History
Wake and NC State first played in 1895 (a 4-4 tie), and have played every year since 1910. In the past decade, the series has been competitive, with each team picking up five wins. Eight out of ten times, the home team has emerged victorious.
