Across the 12 seasons of the program's Dave Doeren era, NC State boasts a 25-9 record when donning white helmets, red jerseys, and white pants.
And the 2024 squad is 1-1 with this look, as the Wolfpack notched a 30-20 home win over the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs in Carter-Finley Stadium on Sept. 14 after losing to the Tennessee Volunteers, 51-10, in the same getup at the Duke's Mayo Classic in Charlotte's Bank of America Stadium the previous week.
The Pack hopes to improve its all-time bowl record to 18-17-1 and snap its four-game losing streak in bowl games. NC State currently stands at 3-6 in bowl contests under Dave Doeren's command.
Meanwhile, NC State football enjoys a 19-13 advantage, including three straight victories, in its all-time series with ECU, located less than 100 miles from Raleigh in Greenville. However, the Pirates defeated the Wolfpack, 37-34, at the 1992 Peach Bowl, the programs' only postseason battle in history.
