Several members of the Inside Pack Sports staff predict the winner of the NC State-UConn matchup.

State 55, UConn 10
I’m expecting the Pack to put this one away early with Devin Leary and Demie Sumo having big nights.

State 45, UConn 6
NC State will make some plays offensively that they've missed on in other games and I expect them to dominate defensively. The biggest key here is to stay healthy, find an offensive rhythm, and get ready for Clemson.

State 42, UConn 16
I think State comes out to a quick start, builds up a nice lead, and sits Leary and most defensive starters somewhere in the early-mid third.

The Wolfpack should roll. I'm still concerned about the offense, so hopefully this can be a get-right game. Then again, I thought the same about the Charleston Southern game and the offense has not gotten right yet. So we'll see.
The defense should and will dominate. I think UConn will squeak out a field goal before scoring a touchdown late in garbage time to crack double digits.
Jake McSwain (IPS Writer)
State 49, UConn 7
Not much to say about this one. State is better and will win, the only question is what do we see from the offense. Will it be another ultra conservative game, or do they at least let Leary throw more often.
Either way, State wins and covers.

Pack by a million.
Okay not really, but this should be the game that allows the depth chart to get some snaps. As long as State plays clean, this will be one of the tailgating games for fans and the warm up for Clemson next week.
