Notre Dame vs NC State Kickoff Time Announced

ESPN announced the start time for the Notre Dame vs NC State matchup

Notre Dame will face its first tough road test of the 2023 season when it travels to Raleigh, N.C. to take on the NC State Wolfpack on September 9th. The kickoff time for that game has already been set, as ESPN released its start times and TV placement for the first three weeks of the season.

It was announced today that the game would be a 12:00 PM eastern time kickoff, and the game will be aired on ABC. This will be the fourth ever meeting between the Fighting Irish and the Wolfpack, and this will be the second time the two teams have squared off in Raleigh.

The last time the two teams faced off in Raleigh the conditions were less than desirable. That game was played as Hurricane Matthew pounded the east coast of the United States. It rained hard before and during the game, a contest that NC State won 10-3. NC State won the game due to a fourth quarter blocked punt that was returned for a touchdown.

Notre Dame and NC State first faced each other in the Gator Bowl following the 2002 season. The Wolfpack won that game by a 28-6 score. 

The last time the two teams faced each other was 2017, which marked the first and only time the teams played inside Notre Dame Stadium. Notre Dame dominated that contest, winning 35-14. NC State took an early 14-7 lead en part to another blocked punt for a touchdown, but the Irish ground attack took over after that. A 69-yard Julian Love interception return for a touchdown 77-yard touchdown run from Josh Adams broke the game open in the third quarter.

Notre Dame rushed for 318 yards in that game.
