NC State and Virginia Tech will kickoff up in Blacksburg tonight at 8pm on ESPN.  Here is a brief look at the history of the series between the Wolfpack and the Hokies.

  • The history of the NC State vs. Virginia Tech series dates all the way back to 1900, when the Hokies came down to Raleigh and defeated NC State 18-2 on October 25th.
  • The two teams have faced each other 48 times, and NC State’s record against the Hokies is 18-26-4.
  • NC State has played Virginia Tech 4 times since they became members of the ACC back in 2004, and the Hokies have won 3 of the 4 games.
  • While 36 of the games between these two happened in the state of Virginia, only 14 of them have taken place in Blacksburg, and the Wolfpack’s record there is 3-9-2.
  • Frank Beamer became the head coach of Virginia Tech back in 1987, and the Wolfpack have beaten him only twice in eight chances, with one of those coming in Blacksburg in 2004.

Last Time They Met

Virginia Tech came down to Carter-Finley back on October 2, 2010, and the Hokies went home with a 41-30 victory in their pocket.  NC State lit up the Virginia Tech defense to the tune of 507 yards of total offense, but they couldn’t overcome their 3 turnovers.  Wolfpack Quarterback Russell Wilson passed for 362 yards and three touchdowns, but he also completed only 43% of his passes and threw three interceptions.  Hokie Quarterback Tyrod Taylor passed for three touchdowns, and also rushed for 121 yards.  Darren Evans also ran for 160 yards and 2 touchdowns.

NC State Running Back Mustafa Greene ran for 91 yards, and they also had two 100-yard receivers in the contest (Jarvis Williams – 105/Owen Spencer – 145).  Wolfpack Linebacker Nate Irving had 13 tackles, 3 tackles for loss and 1 sack.

Last Time the Wolfpack Won 

On September 25, 2004, NC State travelled up to Blacksburg and defeated the Hokies in a defensive battle.  The two teams combined for a total of 415 yards of offense.  Wolfpack Quarterback Marcus Stone snuck the ball into the end zone in the third quarter, and it ended up being enough to hold off the Hokies.  Jay Davis was the starting Quarterback for NC State, and he threw for 64 yards and an interception.  T.A. McClendon rushed the ball 24 times for 93 yards and a touchdown.

NC State offered Interior Offensive Lineman D’Angalo Titialii (6’2″/320) today. After entering the Portal, the Wolfpack were the first to offer him.

Titialii spent his first three seasons at Portland State, which competes in the FCS. This year, he was the starting Center for the Vikings, and the year before he was their starting Left Guard. Over three seasons, Titialii started in 28 of the 32 games he played in.

Titialii is an intriguing prospect, considering he can play numerous positions on the Offensive Line.

After Elinus Noel III (6’2″/230) entered the Transfer Portal yesterday, it didn’t take long for NC State to extend an offer.

He also has picked up offers from Baylor and Temple.

Noel III played last year at Texas Southern, which is in the FCS. As a Junior, he had 52 tackles, 7.5 tackles for loss and 3.5 sacks in 10 games.

Prior to Texas Southern, Noel III spent his first two seasons at Nicholls State, where he recorded a total of 53 tackles.

247Sports ranked him as a 3-Star prospect in the 2021 recruiting class out of New Orleans (LA).

Noel III has 1 year of eligibility remaining.

With Nick Campbell entering the Transfer Portal, NC State is in the hunt for some depth at Nose Tackle. Even if the staff were to feel confident with what they have in JR Brandon Cleveland and RS-SODJ Jackson, the Wolfpack is in need of depth at the position.

WATCH: In NC State’s Spring Game, Tight End Justin Joly Showed He is Going to Be Trouble for Opposing Defenses in ’24

It was evident NC State Tight End Justin Joly (6’3″/235) is going to be a problem for opposing defenses after his performance in the 2024 Spring Game a few weeks back. He is an extremely athletic Tight End, but he’s also bigger and more physical than I expected.

According to my calculations, Joly had 3 receptions for 56 yards and a touchdown. He started things off with a 3-yard touchdown in the corner of the end zone. He followed that up with a 16 yard catch across the middle through contact. Finally, Joly was the recipient of a double-reverse flea flicker, from RB Demarcus Jones II to WR Kevin Concepcion to QB Grayson McCall to him, for a 37-yard gain.

Joly transferred to NC State this offseason from UCONN, and he was the #2 Tight End in the Transfer Portal according to ON3. He had an incredible Sophomore campaign this past year, catching 56 passes for 578 yards and 2 touchdowns. Joly had 4 receptions for 38 yards in the season opener against the Wolfpack.
