Behind three passing touchdowns from CJ Bailey, a career night from Hollywood Smothers and a stifling second half from the Wolfpack's defense, NC State found a way to pull out a 34-24 win over Wake Forest on the road. The Pack now sits at 3-0 (1-0 ACC) on the season, with the last two coming after trailing at halftime one quarter of the way through the year. Cory Smith and Michael Clark take a look back on the comeback win for the Wolfpack, CJ Bailey's performance, Justin Joly touching pay dirt twice, Hollywood Smothers' continued dominance and the Pack's second-half defensive adjustments. Get all of that and more on this edition of the Postgame Podcast!

Coming off a tight win over East Carolina in the season opener, NC State football pulled out yet another one-possession win over Virginia on Saturday. Now the Wolfpack must prepare for a short week against Wake Forest on Thursday night in Winston-Salem to open the ACC slate.

NC State once again needed a fourth-quarter stop to seal a home win, but got just that with Cian Slone's interception in a 35-31 win over Virginia. The Wolfpack notched five total touchdowns with CJ Bailey accounting for three -- two on the ground, one to Noah Rogers -- while Hollywood Smothers had the other two on the ground. Cory Smith and Michael Clark discuss the Wolfpack's nail-biting win, Bailey's continued dominance as a passer and runner, Smothers' massive outing and the defense that bent, but didn't ultimately break against the Hoos.

Dragon Con 2025: In Conversation with Cory Smith (August 2025) This August, The Convention Collective's Senior Editor Dan Berry was given the opportunity to attend Dragon Con 2025 in Atlanta GA, with the chance to speak to some of the incredible guests at the show, including artist Cory Smith.

NC State needed a fourth-down stop in the red zone to survive, but came away with a 24-17 win over ECU to start the season. The Wolfpack (1-0) finished with 423 total yards behind CJ Bailey's 318 yards passing with one touchdown through the air and one on the ground. Cory Smith and Michael Clark share their thoughts after the game, including Bailey's performance, Wesley Grimes' career night, Hollywood Smothers' solid outing, and the defense's up-and-down night. Get all of that and more on the latest Postgame Podcast.

With game week officially here for NC State football, it's time to put out our predictions for over-unders on both sides of the football. How many yards will CJ Bailey pass for this season? Can Hollywood Smothers be the Pack's first 1,000-yard rusher since 2019? Who will lead the Pack in multiple defensive categories? James Curle and Cory Smith break all of those down. On the second half of the podcast, Stephen Igoe of Hoist the Colours will join the show to preview the Wolfpack's season opener by looking at the expectations for ECU football this season.
