For NC State playing 4 non-P5 teams with wins and with Louisville playing two Power-5 teams and losing what it says about both of those teams, absolutely...NOTHING! NC State can point to its achievements thus far with a gradual confidence building mode, but no confidence in playing upper echelon teams. Louisville on the other hand has experience playing two upper echelon teams and no sustained Defense and/or continuity with Qb. play with three qbs and the O-line! On the other hand NC State has a running game with an experienced Qb. in Jacoby Brissett. RB Shadrach Thornton has been thrown off the NC State team for a felony violation and team rules.
The Cards also return to its fold experienced WR James Quick and a very talented TE Hicotini Both players have been absent for 3 games. NC State returns nearly all of its starting players on both offense and defense. An experienced LG Garrett Bradbury, for the Wolfpack is out with an injury. The Wolfpack also has the privilege of playing at home and a supporting fan base. Under Coach Bobby Petrino the Cards also seem to play away at its advantage. If DC Todd Grantham needs to earn his money, this would be the perfect time to do so!
Regardless, both teams need this win, Louisville more so needs this win than NC State. It is imperative that the Cards come out blazing with all its young warriors and scoring offensively and a hot-shot Defense loaded with talent and experience, yet seemingly unproductive in spurts. My prediction goes to thee Cards, because of red-colored Kool aid with a score of 33-21 Cards! JMO............?!
