NC State’s bowl destination is official: the Wolfpack is being sent to the Sun Bowl in El Paso, TX. That’s a difficult trip for State fans, and it’s made worse by the fact that the game is being played on a Friday (Dec. 29) in the middle of the afternoon (3 p.m. ET). Welp.
NC State’s opponent is not yet official, but it’ll most likely be Arizona State, per a report from Brett McMurphy. ASU finished the regular season 7-5 overall and is also in the middle of a coaching transition after the school fired Todd Graham and replaced him with (I’m trying not to laugh) Herm Edwards.
