With the win over Clemson changing the trajectory of the season and putting NC State just a single game shy of bowl eligibility for the eighth time in the last nine years, the Wolfpack will look to grab that sixth win of the year as they welcome to Raleigh the Miami Hurricanes.
Miami started off the year as hot as anyone, winning their first four games by an average margin of over 31 points per game, with the closest being a 15-point victory over a at-the-time Top 25 Texas A&M squad. The Hurricanes have since hit some troubles over the middle third of their season, losing games against Georgia Tech and North Carolina before scratching out overtime wins against Clemson and Virginia the last two weeks.
