Things haven't been this good for No. 20 North Carolina State in many years.
N.C. State (5-1, 3-0 ACC) holds its highest national ranking since early in the 2003 season and will be trying to move to 4-0 in conference play for the first time since 2002 when it plays at Pittsburgh on Saturday.
The Panthers, meanwhile, certainly aren't content with how things have gone, and the season becomes more challenging this week because their starting quarterback is out. This matchup at Heinz Field will be the first ACC game between the schools since Pitt (2-4, 0-2) joined in 2013.
