4. @ NC State Wolfpack (Saturday, November 9)

It’s tough to know what to expect when speaking about the NC State Wolfpack. NC State loses QB Ryan Finley, as well as its biggest receiving option in Kelvin Harmon.

Despite the losses on offense, the Wolfpack returns eight starters on defense and should have a chip on their shoulder getting to host the Tigers later in the season.

NC State will likely have ‘spoiler’ on its mind and, in early November, the Wolfpack should have figured out their quarterback situation.

Clemson will get NC State’s best shot, but the Tigers still have more talent and depth than what the Wolfpack possess.
