NC STATE (4-2, 3-1) vs. No. 4/3 MIAMI (5-0, 2-0)
A game that will be decided by the defenses...Both teams boast nationally ranked defenses...the Hurricanes are second behind NC State in pass defense (151 ypg.) in the league..miami has a weak Run defense, but there secondary led by Rolle is scary....
both OL's will be instrumental in keeping drives alive....both have injuries on them and reserves must fill in spots that they are not used too
Miami's special teams is superb led by Hester....Pack should hopefully have seen this and KICK AWAY from him all night long
Berlin has been jeckyl and hyde this year ...he will be a major key if the Pack can pressure him and get some sacks and pump up the crowd and the team
Davis is starting to settle in as QB...he had a pretty good game against the Terps...he will need to play as well or better to compete with the Canes...The recievers have to catch the tough balls this weekend
Miami is clearly the better team, but the Pack plays well as Dogs and especially at home...
