For a team coming off impressive back-to-back wins over Clemson and Miami, NC State has had quite the tumultuous week heading into their matchup at Wake Forest. Wolfpack starting QB M.J. Morris opted to redshirt the remainder of the season, thrusting one-time starting QB Brennan Armstrong back into the lead gig for State.
Meanwhile, the Demon Deacons are coming off one of their better performances of the year in last week’s game at Duke. While that effort ultimately ended up going down as a loss in the record book, it had to serve as a confidence booster for a team that needs to win two of their last three games to reach bowl eligibility.
