It’s
Here is the handicapping preview for winning compiled by the best professional handicappers.
The USC Gamecocks have a recent history of getting out of the gate much quicker. When the teams met last year to open the season, NC State got shutout 10-0.
The old ball coach claims he will stick with one quarterback tonight: sophomore Stephen Garcia.
Two starters on USC’s front four are suspended: Clifton Geathers and Ladi Ajiboye. NC State also has a strong defensive front, but is very young at LB and defensive backs.
The Wofpack lost one of their best linebackers in June, when Nate Irving suffered serious injuries in a car accident.
Couch potatoes will want to note that it’s Erin Andrews returning to the sidelines for the first time since she was secretly videotaped nude in a hotel room.
The four starters in NC State’s secondary have a combined 14 starts. DeAndre Morgan is out with an ankle injury. He would be the most experienced if healthy.
Against the spread records: The Wolfpack are 7-0 on grass, but 7-19 their last 26 as a favorite.
