It’s NC State football game day!

Welcome to football Christmas, everybody! How nice of it to arrive a couple of days early. NC State hosts USF on Thursday night for a 7:30 p.m. kickoff, with national television coverage on the ACC Network. It’s not quite the usual ESPN national showcase on a Thursday night, but there will be more eyes on the Wolfpack than there would otherwise be.

We’ve covered a lot in the leadup to this game, so get caught up if you need to:

— Our USF preview
— What are NC State’s tripping hazards in 2021?
— USF from an opposing fan’s perspective
— Can big Dave turn a corner this year?
— USF sure was bad last season

I am ready to start getting some answers about this team, and man is it gonna be nice to see Devin Leary on the field once again. Now, to try not to stare at the clock all day...
