NC State Football Looking for 1st Road win of 2019

Published

on

The NC State football is hoping to win their 1st road game of the 2019 season tomorrow against Wake Forest in Winston-Salem.

Winning on the road is never easy.

Since 2016, the Wolfpack are 19-5 at home, and 8-10 on the road. That’s not that abnormal. Having around a .500 record on the road isn’t wildly unexpected, but the Wolfpack have typically been on the positive side of that line under Doeren.

Not winning a whole entire game on the road all year would be unthinkable though.

The last time that NC State went winless on the road was in 2014, which was Dave Doeren’s 1st season. The Wolfpack are guaranteed to have a losing season on the road, marking only the 3rd time in his tenure.

NC State’s record on the road under Doeren

2019: 0-3
2018: 3-2
2017: 3-2
2016: 2-3
2015: 4-2
2014: 3-2
2013: 0-4

Picking up their first road win won’t be an easy task in Winston-Salem, where they have lost 7 of the last 8, and the Demon Deacons are ranked 23rd in the AP Poll this week.

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.
