With a renewed confidence in the offense thanks to a tremendous final 20 minutes at the end of last week’s victory over Virginia Tech, NC State is set to host rival Wake Forest and their potent offensive attack. The series has largely been dominated by the home team of late, with the Demon Deacons taking 9 of the last 10 matchups in Winston-Salem and the Wolfpack taking 8 of the last 10 meetings in Raleigh.
For State, the main question will be around the performance of true freshman M.J. Morris. The Georgia native will be making his first career collegiate start, the first true freshman to do so for State since some guy named Philip Rivers.
