NC State football scouting report: Week 5 vs. Virginia Tech

After splitting its first two ACC games, both away from Carter-Finley Stadium, NC State returns home to host Virginia Tech on Saturday night (7 p.m., The CW).  While the two teams have a series that dates back 125 years, this will mark just the ninth meeting between the Hokies and Wolfpack since Virginia Tech joined the ACC in 2004. It’s not a frequent matchup, but a Dave Doeren-led NC State has downed Virginia Tech in each of the last two games in 2022 and 2023.  But before the Hokies make their fourth trip to Raleigh in the last 21 years, let’s take a look at this year’s Virginia Tech squad.
