Key storylines and matchup notes for Miami and NC State
- This is Miami's final home game of 2025 before trips to Virginia Tech and Pitt. With a top-20 ranking in hand and a closing stretch away from home, the Canes are in position to take advantage of potential ACC chaos — if they can handle business.
- The last time we saw NC State they shredded a top-10 Georgia Tech defense. Miami's front has been stout most of the year and how Corey Hetherman's group handles Bailey and Scott will shape the game.
- The books made Miami a two-TD favorite, but the Wolfpack's recent performance should have the Hurricanes on high alert. Miami must win out to have a chance at the CFP and ACC title game, so it is very important that they don't look too far ahead. NC State has wins over the top two teams in the conference — Virginia and Georgia Tech — so they should not be taken lightly. Also, one more win makes the Wolfpack bowl eligible.
