The Wake Forest Demon Deacons travel to Raleigh, NC, to take on the NC State Wolfpack. Wake Forest was throttled last week by Louisville. Seeing Wake Forest beaten the way they were was one of the most surprising results of the 2022 season. Wake Forest had been on a roll before last week. QB Sam Hartman leads a prolific Wake Forest offense that can score in several ways. The NC State Wolfpack is shuffling the deck at the QB position with the injury to Devin Leary. The Wolfpack are turning to MJ Morris under center. What does the transition mean for the NC State offense?

I mentioned Sam Hartman earlier, but his play deserves reiteration. Hartman has been terrific, with 22 TDs to six interceptions.
A.T. Perry has been Wake Forest's leading receiver all season. Don't be fooled -- the Wake Forest offense is incredibly balanced, with three receivers over 400 yards receiving on the season.
Justice Ellison and Christian Turner form a formidable duo in the Wake Forest backfield. If NC State can't stop the Wake Forest running game, they stand no chance.
MJ Morris has done a fantastic job taking over for Devin Leary. Morris has three TD passes and zero interceptions. How exactly will Morris attack the Wake Forest defense?

Wake Forest Demon Deacons vs. NC State Wolfpack Best Pick:
Sam Hartman is the engine that makes the Wake Forest offense roll. It was shocking how poorly Wake Forest played last week. Expect a big bounce-back week from the offense, namely Sam Hartman. Sam Hartman will clear this number with relative ease.

Wake Forest Demon Deacons vs. NC State Wolfpack Final Prediction
NC State has the largest question mark in the game. What can we expect from MJ Morris in this spot? Morris has performed admirably in relief so far, but this is a big game against the best team he has faced. Wake Forest had to be embarrassed by their performance last week against Louisville. Look for Wake Forest to get back on track in this one.
