The lowdown on N.C. State from a 'Pack beat writer

TCI recently spoke with David Thompson to get some insight on North Carolina State ahead of Clemson’s game against the Wolfpack. Thompson covers N.C. State football for the USA Today Network.

Thompson hit on a number of topics during the following question-and-answer session, including the Wolfpack’s likely defensive approach against Clemson’s struggling offense, quarterback Devin Leary and more heading into Saturday’s game at Carter Finley Stadium.

Do you expect N.C. State to implement a similar defensive game plan to what Georgia Tech did (mixing up three- and four-man fronts and playing deep coverage)?

I definitely think you’ll see a lot of similarities to what Georgia Tech did.
