NC State football scouting report: Week 3 at Wake Forest

It’s time for NC State to hit the road for the first time this season. Although it will leave Raleigh, the Wolfpack doesn’t have to go too far as it is set to square off with Wake Forest on Thursday night (7:30 p.m., ESPN) at Allegacy Stadium. But as NC State prepares to visit Winston-Salem, a place it's 3-9 since 2000, the Wolfpack is looking to earn its second straight victory inside the Demon Deacons’ home stadium. If it were to do that, it would mark the first such occurrence since the 1993 and 1995 seasons. It’s been a while, but NC State is looking to turn the tide in a midweek clash. Let’s take a look at this year’s Wake Forest squad, led by new coach Jake Dickert, ahead of the dual in Winston-Salem.
