Countdown to kickoff: No. 14 - North Carolina-NC State

Posted Aug 14, 2012
One of the better games in the conference this year should be the in-state rivalry game between the Tar Heels and the Pack. NC State coach Tom O’Brien has won each of the past five meetings, and this game has subplots all over the place. You have UNC’s spread offense against one of the best groups of defensive backs in the country. You have a first-year ACC coach in Larry Fedora against the veteran, O’Brien. (ESPN.com)
