The NC State Wolfpack will look to get back in the win column Saturday as they host the Louisville Cardinals Saturday, October 30 on homecoming inside Carter-Finley Stadium.
Kickoff is slated for 7:30 p.m. and can be seen on the ACC Network.
The Wolfpack (5-2 overall, 2-1 ACC) return to Carter-Finley for the first time since October 2nd. Most recently, NC State fell 31-30 to Miami in a heart breaker. Along with the loss came another blow to the NC State defense as linebacker Isaiah Moore was lost for the season.
Louisville (4-3 overall, 2-2 ACC) heads to Raleigh after defeating Boston College 28-14 last Saturday. The Cardinals finally avoided further trauma after dropping back-to-back contests to Virginia and Wake Forest by a combined four points.
