The Wolfpack travel to Nippert Stadium for the Thursday night ESPN broadcast. UC looks to avenge last year's 30-19 loss.
NC State QB Mike Glennon has done a pretty good job filling in for Russell Wilson. However, the Wolfpack defense has been snake bitten with injuries on the defensive side of the football. UC comes off an explosive win over Akron. UC running back Isiaih Pead has proven to be a game breaker in every contest, including his 65 yard TD run against Tennessee.
With talks of conference relignment out there, the folks in Clifton have been rallying around the 'Cats. Look for a pretty raucous crowd for the homefolks on national TV.

The UC game tonight on ESPN is a Black Out Game. UC's sideline reporter has just tweeted there may be a uniform surprise. Will we see these helmets?

Yeah Collaros is tailor made for that offense. Wouldn't have minded him following Kelly to ND.

Man, as a fan of OSU I remember the recruitment of Isiah Pead. If he could have got his grades up, he would have got his OSU offer. I can remember watching this highlight video back in the day and my jaw dropping (especially the third highlight):

Love night games at Nippert. UC is better than last year, but not by much. NC State was pretty terrible.

So listening to ESPN radio I heard NCST had -26 yards rushing... That is fucking terrible.
lotz State is terrible this year. They would be decent if Wilson didn't go to Wisconsin.

their defensive line is really bad. At one point, they had a walk on playing that up until tonight had been an offensive guard. Not an ideal situation.

Good atmosphere tonight there tonight. UC dominated the lines, and that was the game. Collaros looked good and Pead is a great player, but NC States offensive line was atrocious. UC can compete for the Big East no doubt, but I think West Virginia and South Florida are both probably a little better. Will be interesting to see how the crowds are at Paul Brown Stadium for the next 2 home games there.
