NC State is set to visit No. 16 Notre Dame on Saturday afternoon, setting up the Wolfpack’s second-ever trip to South Bend. While it left the Irish’s home stadium with a 35-14 loss in 2017, the last time the Pack was there, it’s looking to flip the script this season. 

Ask Wolfpack coach Dave Doeren, who’s in his 13th season at the helm of the program, and the matchup with Notre Dame is the type of game he looks forward to playing in each season.

“I love playing against physical, aggressive teams like this,” Doeren said in his weekly press conference Monday afternoon. “It’s a great place to play with the tradition and history of South Bend and playing at Notre Dame. It’s been a while since we played them [there], so I’m excited to have that opportunity, and our guys are excited.”

Sophomore quarterback CJ Bailey and redshirt sophomore running back Hollywood Smothers pace NC State’s offense, which is set to duel with Notre Dame’s electric combination of redshirt freshman signal-caller CJ Carr and one of the nation’s top backfields in Jeremiyah Love and Jadarian Price this weekend. 

To prepare for kickoff in South Bend, here is all the information you need to know on how to watch the game this weekend.
