All right, Brian, in part two of today's show here on the Irish Breakdown podcast, brought to you by Fandul.

We're talking the NC State Wolfpack, Notre Dame Sixth's opponent of the 2025 season.

And NC states had an interesting season.

Big picture, it's not too bad.

They're four and two on the season, but they are one and two in their last three games with their only win coming over the Campbell Camels, where they put on

an offensive explosion. Oh, yeah. But you perform the way that you should have in that game, man.

And this has been an interesting season and nothing that I would expect anything less from Dave

Dorn. We talked about him at the start of the season.

It's just one of those years where he's just one of the most interesting coaches to evaluate.

He's been the head coach at NC State since 2013.

He's led them to eight or nine bowl seasons, but then he's also never had a 10-win season.

Yeah, so it's just all of these ingredients are just so interesting when you talk about

NC State.

Yeah.

You know, and look, they're four and two starts not necessarily bad.

It's the way that they lost to.

It's losing to Virginia Tech on the road who had just fired their coach.

It was just, you know, you see the same mistakes over and over again, you know,

messed up plays on special teams, turnovers, just not being prepared to handle an environment

or a moment.

Like those are the things that have really kept Dave Dorn from taking this program over

the next step.
