Miami ACC Opponent North Carolina State: Wolfpack Overlooked? | Video
North Carolina State is one of the more intriguing Miami opponents for the 2023 season. The Wolfpack return some key players on both sides of the football, but there has also been quite a bit of intrigue with the quarterback transfer and new offensive coordinator.
Based on the Hurricanes playing the Wolfpack on Nov. 4, just one week after NC ST hosts Clemson, this game has many subplots to discuss.
Here are some of the key points in this podcast:
***Team overview, including head coach Dave Doeren’s style and coaching record.
***What will North Carolina State fans be seeing with Virginia quarterback transfer Brennan Armstrong?
***Offensive Coordinator Robert Anae, can he produce good opportunities for Armstrong and a team without the same big-play threats he once had at Virginia? That question will be especially curious when they place Miami defensive coordinator Lance Guidry's defense, one that moves its players around.
***The defense has key players back like linebacker Payton Wilson, cornerback Aydan White, and defensive end Davin Vann. Will that trio, plus some younger players, be able to hold together one of the top run-stopping units in college football?
***The Wolfpack really kept opposing rushing offenses from getting on track last season by holding them to a collective 100.7 yards on the ground per game. Now, can a similar result be expected this year?
***Will the pass defense shine as much if the Wolfpack cannot slow down the run quite as well? Against Miami and quarterback Tyler Van Dyke, no doubt, that will be a prime point as to which team comes out on top as well.
***There’s a three-year look at how NC ST has done versus UNC, Clemson, Florida State and Miami.
***Breaking down NC ST’s schedule, including the unique timing of the Miami game.
***Finally, some matchup discussion about the Canes and Wolfpack, as it should be a tremendous game up in Raleigh, N.C.
