NC State Wolfpack (3-2) host Wake Forest (4-1) in a critical ACC rivalry matchup at Carter-Finley Stadium. Following CJ Bailey's career-high 373-yard, 2-TD performance against Louisville, the Wolfpack aim to maintain their 7th-place standing.

Scott and Natalie analyze the offensive balance needed to support Bailey, the health status of key players like Brian Nelson II and Harvey Dyson III, and whether the run game with Davion Gause can overcome Wake's stout defense.

The hosts discuss tactical keys including protecting the football, leveraging Joshisa Trader's deep threats, and predicting a high-scoring victory for NC State in this pivotal October clash.
