With two lopsided victories in the books, Notre Dame faces a more significant road test on Saturday against the North Carolina State Wolfpack. The Fighting Irish have won their last 28 regular season games against ACC opponents while the Wolves are 18-2 at home over the past three seasons. Obviously, something has to give. North Carolina State opened its season last week with an unimpressive 24-14 victory at UConn. This week’s game will be broadcast nationally by ABC starting at 12:00 Noon Eastern time.
Both teams were in the market for an experienced quarterback during the offseason and found a solution within the Atlantic Coast Conference.
