North Carolina State (3-1) couldn’t bask in the glow of its 27-21 upset of Clemson too long with a high-powered offense coming in Louisiana Tech (2-2) coming to town on Saturday. The News & Observer called it “best offense” the Wolfpack has seen this season.

The Bulldogs average 35 points per game and average 269 yards passing and 127.5 yards per game. Bulldogs quarterback Austin Kendall leads a potent attack with 837 yards passing, seven touchdowns, and three interceptions. He also has 98 yards rushing and three touchdowns.

Wolfpack fans will recognize Bulldogs running back Marcus Williams Jr., a grad transfer from N.C. State. Williams rushed for 258 yards and two touchdowns in four games. Running back Greg Garner also gets involved with 4.6 yards per carry and two scores thus far.

“It’s a test of our maturity is the bottom line,” Wolfpack head coach Dave Doeren said per CBS17.com. “People are going to talk about trap games and let downs and all those kind of things and I’ve already addressed that with the team, we’re not going to do that.”

Wolfpack quarterback Devin Leary has 1,03 yards passing, 10 touchdowns, and two interceptions this season. Leary also has a rushing touchdown, too.

Emeka Emezie has been the go-to receiver for Leary with 28 catches, 302 yards, and a touchdown this season.

Emezie said he and his teammates won’t rest their laurels on beating Clemson last week.

“It’s not like you’re going to go out there and say ‘alright, we beat Clemson we’re good,'” Emezie told CBS17.com. “It’s still football and you have to go out there and play and play hard and that’s what we’re going to do.”
