The 2019 season opens up for NC State with a familiar foe coming to town in East Carolina. The Wolfpack and Pirates finished out the 2018 regular season facing off in Raleigh with State showing out in a 58-3 romp. ECU will certainly be looking to avenge that embarrassing performance in their first game under new head coach Mike Houston.
Can an East Carolina program under new leadership and with renewed energy upset the Wolfpack? Or will NC State - with new starting QB Matt McKay under center - not skip a beat and rise up to push down the Pirates again?
