What to Know
NC State opened the season with a 34-8 loss to Virginia in Charlottesville, a game originally scheduled for Brazil before being relocated. A road trip to an SEC venue is a real test of whether that result was an outlier, and it comes before the ACC schedule gets going.
The full breakdown is on our NC State vs. Vanderbilt page, and the Wolfpack’s season is on the NC State schedule.

NC State plays at Vanderbilt on Saturday at 12:45 p.m. ET on SEC Network.
