Reasons Notre Dame Could Cover:
The quarterback competition in this game is being headed by Sam Hartman of Notre Dame. In the first two games, Hartman has completed more than 80% of his passes, accumulating 445 yards and six touchdowns in 2023. He is one of the top passers in the country, with over 13,000 career yards and 116 passing touchdowns. Hartman also directs a squad that has scored over 41 points per game over the course of its last nine matches versus ACC competition.
With 920 yards and 11 touchdowns in 2022, leader Rashad Esteem is back on the ground. He has 211 yards and two scores so far in 2023, averaging more than seven yards per rush. With just six points allowed per game in its first two games, Notre Dame also prides itself on its defense. Over the past two weeks, opponents have only been able to muster 162.5 total yards and 55.0 passing yards against the Fighting Irish.
Reasons NC State might be covered:
Brennan Armstrong, an interesting transfer quarterback, will be the Wolfpack’s quarterback. Armstrong was the all-time leader at Virginia in passing yards, pass attempts, passing touchdowns, games with 200 or 300 passing yards, and games in which a passing touchdown was scored in consecutive games. Armstrong is a dangerous dual-threat option because of his 22 career rushing touchdowns. Armstrong threw for more than 9,000 yards and 58 touchdowns while at Virginia.
With a lightning-quick touchdown run in the first victory over Yukon in 2023, he has already made an impression. Additionally, NC State has triumphed in 10 of the previous 11 regular-season non-conference games, surrendering just 4.2 yards and 14 points per contest. In addition to passing touchdowns allowed (14), interceptions (17), total defense (325.7 yards per game), completion percentage defense (57.7%), yards per run defense (3.5), and passes defended (6.3 per game), the Wolfpack also topped in 2022.
