So far, Tom O’Brien’s two years in Raleigh have been mediocre, but in what is always a wide-open conference the Wolfpack have caught my eye as a trendy pick this season. They could have the makings of a conference champion. Their laurels rest on the shoulders of sophomore quarterback Russell Wilson, who flourished last year under center. The season will be a success if NC State can build upon their 6-6 campaign from a year ago and perform reasonably well in the non-conference portion of their schedule.
