Louisville vs. NC State Prediction
The Cardinals enter play with a perfect 4-0 record on the year.
If the Cardinals can pull off a win over the Wolfpack, they will have a good chance to move into the top 25.
The Cardinals are off to a hot start in the Jeff Brohm era. Brohm left Purdue after leading them to a Big Ten championship game a season ago. Brohm, who is a former player at Louisville, believes that this team has a chance to win the ACC.
Quarterback Jack Plummer leads the Cardinals offense. Plummer has thrown for 1,120 yards this season, paired with ten touchdowns and four interceptions.
Running back Jawhar Jordan leads the Cardinals, rushing for 478 yards and six touchdowns.
Jamari Thrash leads the team with 400 yards receiving and five touchdowns.
Louisville has been up and down on defense. Linebacker TJ Quinn is tied for the team lead with 21 tackles.
NC State will begin play with a record of 3-1.
The Wolfpack's lone loss came to Notre Dame in Week 2, which is a good loss to have on the resume.
Virginia transfer Brennan Armstrong leads the Wolfpack offense. Armstrong has thrown for 859 yards, five touchdowns, and four interceptions this season.
Additionally, Armstrong leads the team in rushing with 225 yards on the ground.
Wide receiver Kevin Concepcion leads the Wolfpack, racking up 238 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
The Wolfpack defense has been stellar outside of Week 2 against Notre Dame.
Louisville vs. NC State Pick
The Wolfpack have impressed me through the first four weeks.
The strength of the schedule has been much more difficult for the Wolfpack compared to Louisville.
NC State has the better defense, and they will be able to control the clock in this game and grind out a hard-fought win.
