A few house cleaning items as we head to Louisville this weekend where Dave Doeren and NC State’s eleven game conference losing streak is starting to be the main topic of NC State football.
First, in case you did not know, Saturday’s game at Louisville will be televised exactly as last Saturday’s game against Boston College — at 3:30pm EST on Regional Sports Networks like the Fox Sports stations.
Second, the point spread for the game started with Louisville as a 14 point favorite, but moved up to NC State + 17 to 17.5 after coach Doeren announced the suspensions for the great BB gun incident of 2014.
In other relevant football news the program has experienced some subtractions and some additions. Third string defensive end Joe Wright is no longer with the program, leaving only EIGHT players from the 2012 recruiting class still wearing the red and white. We covered this topic at length yesterday and strongly encourage you to click here if you haven’t absorbed all of the work.
On the addition side, State received another big commitment this past weekend (in addition to Darian Roseboro that we covered here on Saturday afternoon) when Daris Workman committed to the Wolfpack. Workman is a JUCO offensive lineman who picked State over offers from Virginia Tech, Kansas Georgia Southern and BYU. He is believed to be around 6-foot-6 inches tall and 285 pounds. Workman is originally from Greensboro (Dudley high school), so it is great to get another local kind into the program.
Speaking of Darian Roseboro…he is already focusing hard for the Wolfpack:
Commit @DarianRoseboro on recruiting: "My two top priorities are Nyheim Hines and Emanuel McGirt. They fit in with everybody in PACK15."

Lastly, Coach Doeren said today that wide receiver Bo Hines is practicing with the team and will be playing on Saturday. This becomes particularly important based on the impact of the BB gun incident to our depth at wide receiver.
