2010 North Carolina State Football Preview:
College football in the ACC is a constant struggle for power, and teams are always rising and falling. The North Carolina State Wolfpack hopes to be back on the rise in 2010 after finishing just 5-7 last year and tallying only two wins in the conference. Despite the mediocre season, NC State has shown that it can be a powerhouse, winning seven ACC championships throughout the years, and competing in 23 bowl games, most recently in the 2008 PapaJohns.com bowl against Rutgers.
The Wolfpack's primary question entering the new season is at the quarterback position. After being selected by the Colorado Rockies in the fourth round of the MLB draft, starting quarterback Russell Wilson said that he would return to North Carolina for his junior year - but his future is tentative at the least. Wilson's departure would be a huge loss for the Wolfpack; - last season he threw for a glittering 3,027 yards and 31 touchdowns. In his stead, Mike Glennon, who practiced with the first-team while Wilson played baseball this spring, would take the team's snaps.
But perhaps the best player on the roster is linebacker Nate Irving, whose absence last season left NC State's defense in shambles. A few more conference victories would get the team moving in the right direction, especially if they can topple rivals North Carolina and Wake Forest.

The NC State Wolfpack play their home games at Carter-Finley Stadium. The stadium was opened in 1966 and holds a capacity of 60,000. With the small clearance between the stands and the playing surface, Carter-Finley Stadium is a tough place for teams to visit. The fans are notoriously vocal and they seem to be right on top of the field. Attend a game at Carter-Finely and see why visiting teams are often quite intimidated.
