A Historical Look at the NC State vs. Notre Dame Football Series

NC State’s game against #10 Notre Dame tomorrow marks the 4th time the two schools have faced one another.

Heading into tomorrow, the Wolfpack hold a 2-1 advantage in the series, but the Irish won the last matchup up in South Bend with ease in 2017, beating NC State 35-14. Even though Notre Dame was a 7-point favorite, it was a matchup between #14 NC State and the #9 Irish. Instead of being a competitive Top-15 matchup, it ended up being a 21-point blowout.

The first time the two met was back in 2002, as NC State rounded off the winningest season in school history, picking up their 10th win of the season against Notre Dame in the Gator Bowl.
