Purpleguy hit the nail on the head. WCU has some FBS-level talent and we seem to be getting more talented each year. NC State has a roster-full of FBS talent. Our top 10 guys could very well be relatively equivalent to their top 10 guys. It is the next 30 or 40 to go along with the fact that they also have over 20 more scholarship players on their roster that typically makes the difference in these games.
The spread and the over/under had this game pegged at around 48-14 (not sure if it has changed). The last time we played them I think I remember similar "maybe we can do some things" type of comments, and then the game ended up a 41-0 thumping. I think we are way better in 2024 then we were in 2019, but in our history we are 0-7 and have never held them to less than 31 points and have never scored more than 20.
The guys have to go in with thinking they have a puncher's chance, but first game, on the road, hostile environment, FBS depth are hard things to overcome.
I totally hope I am 100% wrong, but I'll say it again - I just want us to play well, stay healthy, and get paid. I'll focus primarily on how hard and smart we play versus the final score.

Kind of surprised that Micah Nelson is 2nd string. He was a beast and the best player on the defense 2 years ago before he got hurt and set out last year.
