NC State Is Stepping Out Of Atlantic Coast Conference Play To Host Louisiana Tech In Raleigh Tonight

NC State who is ranked 23rd this week is stepping out of Atlantic Coast Conference play to host Louisiana Tech who is a member of Conference USA in Raleigh tonight.

Where?

On the gridiron!

NC State comes into the game with a record of 3-1!

In their previous game an Atlantic Coast Conference game verses Clemson who like NC State is a member of the Atlantic Division of the Atlantic Coast Conference NC State topped Clemson 27-21 in North Carolina’s state capital in double overtime.

Why?

Devin Leary was 32-44 for 238 yards, four touchdowns and zero interceptions. Several times he escaped pressure and either got rid of the ball or created a positive out of a negative.

Devin Leary’s four touchdown passes went to three different receivers. The first was a magical catch by Emeka Emezie, who hauled in a career-high 14 passes. There was a third down TD toss to Thayer Thomas in the first overtime and two strikes to Devin Carter, including what proved to be the game winner.

wen 11-of-21 on third down and that high conversion rate was helped by what they did on first down averaging 4.5 yards.

Zonovan Knight and Ricky Person, Jr. were a big part of that success by what they did in the run game, combining for 170 yards on 44 carries.

Louisiana Tech unlike NC State is a member of Conference USA.

In their previous game Louisiana Tech topped North Texas 23-17 last Saturday!

Louisiana Tech stopped North Texas on fourth down four times through the first three quarters.

The defense needed to stand tall once more on fourth down with a minute to go in the game, and did just that as the Bulldogs held off the Mean Green by a final score of 24-17 on Saturday night at Joe Aillet Stadium.
