We're less than 10 days away from the start of the 2023 NC State football season, so this entire podcast will be focused on the Wolfpack football program. James and Cory discuss where things stand coming out of fall camp, possible strengths and weaknesses for the team, where position battles stand and much more! In the second segment, Josh Pate of The Late Kick Podcast with 247Sports will join us to give his thoughts on NC State heading into the season. Could the Pack surge the year after expectations were the highest? What is the national perspective on Brennan Armstrong and Robert Anae? We'll get into all of that and more with Pate on this week's podcast! This podcast is sponsored by Scott Wood and the Scott Wood Home Lending Team.

With the NC State 2023 football season less than two weeks away, there's no better time to start previewing each and every position group for the Wolfpack! The Pack has to replace some big names along the offensive line, but has several returning players with a wealth of experience in the trenches, too. Cory Smith and Michael Clark take an in-depth look at Dylan McMahon, Anthony Belton, Tim McKay and the rest of the offensive line room. Will McMahon carry the torch at the center position? Can Anthony Belton and Tim McKay hold things down to protect Brennan Armstrong? How big of a concern are the guard positions and depth along the offensive line? What is the biggest change with Garett Tujague taking over? This podcast is sponsored by Scott Wood and the Scott Wood Home Lending Team.
