NC State and their downright dastardly defense head to Durham to duel Duke under the lights on Saturday night. The Wolfpack are coming off their best offensive performance of the year in a win over Marshall, a game which saw a shift at the quarterback position pay immediate returns with explosive plays from both the run and pass game. State’s defense allowed 34 points in that affair with the Thundering Herd. Despite the effort being better than the surface numbers would indicate, the Wolfpack’s defenders are sure to want to have a bounce-back showing in this one.
Duke is having themselves quite the season, entering the contest ranked #17 in the nation and coming off a well-timed bye week.
