The Duke Blue Devils travel to Raleigh next weekend for an in-state battle with the NC State Wolfpack, and the ACC officially gave the game a kickoff time on Saturday.
Duke and NC State will play at 3:30 p.m. Eastern time on Saturday, November 9. The game will broadcast on ACC Network.
The Wolfpack have won two straight games to improve to 5-4 for the season, beating the Stanford Cardinal 59-28 on Saturday to move back above .500. True freshman quarterback CJ Bailey was thrust into the starting role after injuries forced Coastal Carolina transfer Grayson McCall to retire, and the 6-foot-6 newcomer has responded well to the challenge. He threw for 234 yards and three touchdowns against Stanford, giving him 1,141 yards, nine touchdowns, and two interceptions over his last four games.
Despite the recent improvement, the Wolfpack have yet to beat a Power Four team with a winning record.
Duke beat NC State handily in Durham last year, a 24-3 victory anchored by 123 rushing yards from Jordan Waters. Waters, of course, transferred to the Wolfpack this offseason, and he’s compiled 375 yards and four touchdowns with his new team in 2024.
