Notre Dame-NC State Picks: Do Irish struggle in first true road game of ’23?

Does Notre Dame move to 3-0 or is trouble a brewing at NC State?

Notre Dame is 2-0 and has been untested in blowout victories over Navy and Tennessee State.  The subject matter gets more difficult this weekend though as the Irish are in Raleigh to take on NC State.

It’s just the fourth meeting all-time between the Irish and Wolfpack, a series NC State leads 2-1 since New Year’s Day 2003.  Will Notre Dame move the all-time series to even and more importantly, will the Irish be 3-0 when Central Michigan comes to South Bend next week?

Here is what the Fighting Irish Wire staff sees happening in the 12:00 p.m. ET kickoff on Saturday.
