Welcome to the road, and a road game with special circumstances: this is the first time Old Dominion will host an ACC team and it is fair to assume the atmosphere will be pretty raucous. This is probably for the best, since NC State is going to have far more important road games down the road, and there's no better way to get your feet wet than in an atmosphere more impressive than Boston College's or Wake Forest's against a team that is worse than both.
But NC State was a bit sloppy in Week 2, which leads to some fair questions about how they'll respond early in a hostile environment.
