N.C. State Emerges from Open Week, Ready to Make a Run at Stanford

Associated Press  

N.C. State emerges from an open week with a chance to put together a strong finish for the second straight year. The Wolfpack's offense has been in flux since losing starting quarterback Grayson McCall to concussion issues, turning the offense over to freshman CJ Bailey. Stanford is trying to stop a five-game losing streak since beating Syracuse in its first-ever ACC game. N.C. State's defense against Stanford's offense is a key matchup, with the Wolfpack's defensive issues being notable considering the unit had been a multi-year strength. However, Stanford's offense is struggling to score, ranking 16th in scoring offense and 16th in total offense in league play. Both teams have struggled to score in their last four ACC games, with Stanford managing only 14 or fewer points in four straight games before their home loss to Wake Forest. The stakes are high for both teams, with N.C. State looking to secure a strong finish and Stanford aiming to break their losing streak.
