NC State vs. UConn Same-Game Parlay: Don't Miss this +531 Same-Game Parlay for Thursday's Season Opener
The North Carolina State Wolfpack no longer has Devin Leary as quarterback. But they do have a notable name under center this year.
It'll be Brennan Armstrong, who was previously with Virginia for his first five seasons in college football.
However, he jumped to North Carolina State to finish his college career. He'll look to take North Carolina State to higher heights this season.
Armstrong and North Carolina State will take on the UConn Huskies in their first matchup of the season. UConn is known for its basketball, not football.
So, how bad will the route be?
Here's a same-game parlay for tonight's game between the UConn Huskies vs. the North Carolina State Wolfpack.

NC State vs. UConn Same-Game Parlay Picks
Joseph Fagnano Under .5 Passing Touchdowns (+118)
The UConn Huskies took Joseph Fagnano from Maine and named him the starting quarterback for this year's season.
Fagnano spent four seasons at Maine and decided to switch to UConn for a more significant opportunity.
Fagnano only completed 57.1% of passes last year. He also averaged a career-low 6.1 yards per play. On top of that, the kid was sacked 24 times.
Maine won two games last year with Fagnano. The defense was terrible, sure, but the offense couldn't even score a single point against New Mexico last season.
Fagnano was 12-for-27 with no touchdowns and one interception against an FBS opponent. I'll take Fagnano's Under here.
Jordan Houston Over 59.5 Rushing Yards (-114)
Jordan Houston only ran 136 times for 544 yards last season. He averaged just four yards per carry.
That's not entirely good. However, when the senior running back earned more than ten carries, he had at least 53 rushing yards in four games.
The Wolfpack are expected to cruise to a two-touchdown win tonight. Therefore, Houston will get his carries and break out for a couple of big ones against UConn.
Keyon Lesane Under 42.5 Passing Yards (-114)
The Wolfpack lost three of their top receivers from last year. But Keyon Lesane is back. However, that doesn't ultimately make him the No. 1 receiver. He'll have to earn it.
The Wolfpack brought in a bunch of transfers that can steal some reps and earn some catches from Lesane. You'd also expect the run game to be more of the vocal point for Armstrong and the North Carolina State offense, especially later.
Lesane averaged just 11 yards per catch last season and added 342 yards on 31 catches. He had just four games where he caught more than three balls. His workload might be more. Or it might be the same, with a guy like Bradley Rozner potentially in the picture.
