NC State is ready to play its first road game of the fall as it visits Wake Forest on Thursday night at Allegacy Stadium in Winston-Salem. But before the game, it’s time to post five bold predictions for this weekend’s game. We will check on how they did ahead of next weekend’s road game at Duke. Looking back on last week’s predictions, we got three of the five correct as the Wolfpack logged an interception, redshirt sophomore running back Hollywood Smothers logged more than 100 yards rushing and NC State recorded a punt return.
