It’s the last week of the college football regular season (Army-Navy notwithstanding) which means it’s Rivalry Week. NC State is set to partake in the festivities by heading a little west to take on UNC Chapel Hill.
The Tar Heels, buoyed by a soft schedule in a weak (even by Coastal standards) division, are having a great season. An explosive offense that is led by redshirt-freshman QB Drake Maye leads the charge, pulling the weight for a defense that has struggled to hold up all year.
Facing those blue-clad boys on Friday afternoon will be an injury-riddled NC State squad, limping to the regular season finish line with an injury list that could populate a starting lineup on its own.
