NC State football vs. VMI preview podcast

2019_WP_Icon512x512by: The Wolfpacker09/14/23TheWolfpacker

A week after NC State’s loss to No. 10 Notre Dame, the Wolfpack are hungry to get back on the field, and they’ll do it against FCS competition in the Virginia Military Institute. The Wolfpack will kick off Saturday afternoon at 2 p.m. inside Carter-Finley Stadium, and the game will be televised on The CW Network. 

NC State coach Dave Doeren said that the team will respond to the 21-point loss to the Fighting Irish, and the contest with the Keydets appears to be the perfect setting for the Wolfpack to build confidence before ACC play begins next week. 

While NC State and VMI haven’t played recently, this weekend’s game will mark the 19th meeting between the two programs — the first since the Wolfpack beat the Keydets 49-7 on Sept. 1, 1946. 

The series dates back to 1895, and the first 10 meetings were played outside of Raleigh before NC State hosted VMI for the first time in 1921.   

What does this year’s meeting look like for each team? TheWolfpacker.com pairing of Ethan McDowell and Noah Fleischman broke down the contest in this week’s edition of TheWolfpacker Show. 

Topics discussed in this week’s episode:

– Noah’s impressions of NC State through the first two weeks of the season.

– How does this game help NC State build confidence after a fourth-quarter loss to Notre Dame last week?

– Where can NC State improve against VMI?

– What to expect from VMI?

– Who will have a breakout game in the backfield and at wide receiver this week?

– Plus, the guys unveil their score predictions for the Wolfpack’s lone FCS game of the 2023 campaign.
