Fresh off a 55-3 cakewalk of a win last Saturday against an overmatched FCS foe, NC State is set to face a considerable challenge as they welcome Texas Tech to Raleigh for a Saturday night contest. The Red Raiders had their own FCS cakewalk in Week 1, but passed a significant test last week in a two-overtime thrilling win against Houston.
Texas Tech brings with them an experienced and deep defense, one that likes to play aggressive and prioritize turnovers. It’s a group that will surely test the Wolfpack’s offense, forcing Devin Leary and company to protect the ball and stay on schedule.
