Talkin' Wolfpack: Duke
The NC State football team returns home to Carter-Finley Stadium for the first time since its opening game back on Sept. 12 when it takes on Duke for the first time since 2013 on Saturday.
It will also mark the first time this season that the Wolfpack will be favored in a game.
Although the Blue Devils are coming off their first win this season, a 38-24 victory at Syracuse in which they ran up more than 600 yards of total offense, the game presents a golden opportunity for coach Dave Doeren and his team to build on the momentum of consecutive road wins at Pittsburgh and Virginia.
But with a date with rival North Carolina coming up next week, it also has the potential to be a classic trap game.
SI All Wolfpack publisher Brett Friedlander and deputy editor Kenton Gibbs discuss both possibilities while previewing Saturday's contest in this week's edition of Talkin' Wolfpack.
