Game Analysis
NC State (-7) 26 WEST VIRGINIA 16
West Virginia looks really bad offensively so far under new head coach Neal Brown, as the Mountaineers have averaged just 3.8 yards per play in games against James Madison and Missouri. NC State, meanwhile, has been great defensively in yielding just 6 points and 3.2 yppl to ECU in their opening and then shutting out Western Carolina on 2.6 yppl (with starters in the game).
On the plus side, the Mounties’ defense has been better than expected (just 5.0 yppl allowed) but NC State is a better than average offensive team and new Wolfpack quarterback Matthew McKay has been solid in his first two games with 66% completions and no interceptions thrown or sacks taken. I’d prefer NC State here but I’m passing.
