Of the other Atlantic Division teams in the ACC, NC State is perhaps the most nondescript. When speaking about conference or divisional rivalries, there are other teams where BC's played more memorable and more contentious games. There isn't a ton of history, and with the exception of when Tom O'Brien left for Raleigh, there isn't a ton of natural, clean hate for the opponent.
The Wolfpack enter this weekend, however, as a curious and intriguing opponent. On the field, they're a team with a good offense led by a solid quarterback in Jacoby Brissett. They have an elite running back in Matt Dayes and a good pass catching player in Jaylen Samuels.
