NC State will open the 2016 season at home against William & Mary. The Wolfpack and the Tribe have become familiar with each other over the decades, having met 20 times in total. In fact, the Tribe developed into a regular thorn in the Pack's schedule, at one point taking six straight in the series.
One game the Tribe did not win, though, came in the fall of 1944. William & Mary perhaps should have won the game, based solely on the significant edge it had in first downs and yards gained, but you know what, there's a few things that can derail an otherwise superior down-to-down effort.
