NC State has outscored its 2 opponents, 65-20.

The Wolfpack beat James Madison, 24-13, and Georgia State, 41-7. So it hasn’t played a team at WVU’s level yet while the Mountaineers at least played Tennessee and won easily.
WVU has outscored its opponents, 92-31, defeating Tennessee, 40-14, and Youngstown, 52-17.

If the hurricane didn’t exist this game was on pace to be the most expensive ticket in Raleigh sports history. Of course Raleigh is a loser sports town. They only play Clemson every 2 years. FSU game ticket is cheaper than WVU game ticket. Further proof the ACC messed up by not begging WVU to come join ACC. WVU upgrades in all sports. ACC only has 3 real football fanbases that support and that is Clemson, FSU, VT. The others Miami, N.C. State, Louisville are average fanbases at best. The other 8 fanbases are terrible in ACC.

ACC should get WVU when available. Then get South Carolina. That’s 2 big football fanbase schools. Kick lowly Wake Forest out and kick BC out. Also replace Syracuse or Pitt with Maryland. Maryland was a true member that made geographic sense. WVU upgrades ACC basketball even more as well.

No we know today...your juvenile rationale for doing things like multiple games in one week etc are gone. Your ignorance of football and everything it takes to get ready for, and recover from, a game is astounding especially for someone who defines themselves as a "sports writing professional." Embarrassing.
