Notes on depth chart changes
— NC State had no changes from its 56-10 win over Campbell last week. The most notable absence is redshirt freshman safety Brody Barnhardt, who was injured the game before against Virginia Tech. Asaad Brown, who played safety in Barnhardt’s place last week, is listed back at nickel.
