The ACC Network aired the first episode of All-Access with NC State Football on August 14th.

The series is a little like the “One” series we’ve been seeing over the past few years, basically giving fans a behind-the-scenes look at NC State Football. This kind of access is great, because you get a more personal feel for what it’s like to be in the shoes of these guys as they prepare for a season full of high expectations.

Here is episode 1 posted by the guys at Tuffy Talk.
