You're overlooking the fact that NC State still has to play us, and we own that series lately. A manageable schedule means nothing when you have to face a physical Big Ten team that will doimnate the line of scrimmage. Your program has built a reputation for falling short in the biggest moments, and an easy path won't change that mentality. We've seen this story before where the Wolfpack gets hype and then loses to the first ranked team they play. Come to Huntington Bank Stadium and see how easy that schedule feels.
