Death tolls rise from California wildfires The death toll from the California wildfires are increasing as firefighters continue to keep battling the Camp Fire in the northern part of the state, the Woolsey Fire in the south and the Sierra Fire near Los Angeles. The Camp Fire, which has been declared the most destructive and deadly fire in the state’s history, has killed 48 people so far. Authorities are concerned that they will find more bodies as they continue searching the wreckage. The Woolsey Fire has killed two so far.

Professors praise young voters, predict effects from midterms

Rep. David Price speaks to Wayne Goodwin, chairman of the North Carolina Democratic Party, at the democratic election watch party on Tuesday, Nov. 6. David Price, the incumbent representative of North Carolina’s fourth district, won against Republican opponent Steve Von Loor and Libertarian Barbara Howe to retain his House seat.

George Willoughby Correspondent

Two NC State professors have attributed last week’s election results to a high young voter turnout and predicted little change to students and universities in North Carolina. Last week’s midterm elections saw the Democrats break the three-fifths supermajority held by Republicans in the N.C. House and Senate. The supermajority allowed Republicans to override 20 of Governor Roy Cooper’s 25 vetoes. Andrew Taylor and Steven Greene, professors of political science, credited the Democratic-leaning youth vote and higher turnout as key to Democratic gains. “You put those two facts together, and you can’t help but conclude that young voters were somewhat important to Demo-

cratic gains across the country,” Taylor said. “And particularly in places in Wake County, where NC State students aren’t particularly different than others, but because Wake County and many of the legislative districts are sort of suburban and therefore battlegrounds, they could have made the difference in helping some legislators get over the hump.” However, this could change in the future, depending on how the new voter ID amendment is written into law, according to Greene. North Carolina’s previous attempt at a voter ID law was struck down when a three-judge panel of the U.S. 4th Circuit Court of Appeals found that the law was created with “discriminatory intent.” Greene explained that a voter ID law will likely be pushed through before the end of the General Assembly’s current session. “That will be a big deal because they

will, without a doubt, try and write a law in a way that disadvantages Democraticleaning voter groups,” Greene said. “We saw this most dramatically in 2013, with the way it disadvantaged college students.” Despite this, Greene said he expects to see a more moderate North Carolina General Assembly. “Now the Republican legislature actually has to compromise with the governor rather than just overriding him on everything,” Greene said. “It brings Democrats back into the legislative process again, basically.” According to Taylor, a new General Assembly session could raise questions over the funding of the UNC System. “The size of state appropriations – whether it should be a tiny little increase or a bit of a cut or last year’s figure – that’s what they’re going to be fighting over,” Taylor said.

Taylor cited the UNC System’s reliance on taxpayer dollars in comparison to other states as a reason for a possible change. “Even some Democrats have realized we’re a little out of whack with many of our peers,” Taylor said. “So, maybe it’s not that bad if we try to wean the UNC System off of taxpayer dollars a little bit.” Greene said that the UNC System could benefit from a moderate General Assembly. “The fact that you’re going to have to have a more bipartisan process for funding in the next two years should be good for the UNC System,” Greene said. Despite potential changes to the funding of the UNC System, Greene predicted little change to student life. “I don’t expect you’ll see dramatic changes, Greene said. “For your typical college student, you’re not really going to notice any differences.”

SG monthly updates promote initiatives and transparency Willow Sarac Correspondent

As part of an ongoing initiative to improve transparency among the student body, the Student Government (SG) has begun publishing monthly updates for students, which are included as part of the weekly HOWL. “The monthly updates are great, because there’s a lot of behind-the-scenes work that we do that is not as obvious as putting on an event on campus,” said Meredith Spence-Beaulieu, student body vice president and graduate student studying entomology. The monthly updates help provide a clear, concise picture of what Student Government accomplishes each month. “Along with other tools like our platform progress page on the SG website, this helps with transparency by commu-

nicating the things that we are working on to the general student body in public and easy-to-digest ways,” Spence-Beaulieu said. According to Taylor Pulliam, the director of communications for SG and a fourth-year studying political science, the monthly updates have increased student engagement and made it easier for all students to receive necessary information pertaining to Student Government. “A lot of the stuff that happens is hard to digest unless you sit down and read through it,” Pulliam said. In addition to the monthly updates in the HOWL, the communications team also shares updates through Facebook and Twitter. “These posts have been the highestshared on our social media pages,” Pulliam said. The posts also helped reach students

who might not otherwise be aware of what goes on in Student Government. “Students have said to me, ‘I didn’t know this is something Student Government did,’” Pulliam said. Last week’s monthly updates included information on the proposal for genderinclusive housing, information on the early voting location in Talley Student Union and updates on decisions related to tuition and fees, among other things. “It also has the added benefit of keeping us accountable to our platform and making sure that we are making progress on things each and every month,” Spence-Beaulieu said. Although the monthly updates generally consist of initiatives that come from the executive branch, Student Senate President Adam Schmidt, a third-year studying civil engineering, explained how the monthly updates reflect Student

Government as a whole. “A lot of senators are currently researching issues that they’re passionate about, or trying to compare what we do at NC State to other institutions in the UNC System or our peer institutions,” Schmidt said. “They’re getting the ball rolling on some of their projects that they’re working on.” The monthly updates help publicize some of these projects, such as the ongoing initiative to encourage the use of green books made from recycled paper instead of blue books, as well as a proposal to change the policies surrounding multiple exams in one week. “Producing monthly updates was not a part of Jess and my campaign platform,” Spence-Beaulieu said. “Although it has always been a goal of ours to be transparent and communicative with our actions, so this fits in nicely with that goal.”

Students: Don’t disconnect from government after the midterms A week after the 2018 midterms, results continue to trickle in from California and heated recounts in Florida. Yet it’s been clear since Tuesday that Democrats won the Noah House of Representatives, Jabusch while Republicans kept the Opinion Editor Senate. Although not the tsunami Democrats had hoped for, the blue wave of 2018 has greatly empowered Democrats in the mission of protecting the country from the most dangerous elements of Trump’s agenda. Although young voters favored Democrats by about two-to-one this year, they should not become complacent with this result and assume their interests will be well-represented by the current House. NC State students especially need to make sure that they pay attention to the actions of

elected officials while in office and remind them that we need progress on issues ranging from climate change to economic justice, not just opposition to Trump. The blue wave was built off an intensely diverse coalition of voters, but of these one of the most decisive groups was young voters who turned out at historic levels. According to U.S. News, youth turnout reached 31 percent, 10 points higher than in 2014. These turnout numbers are far from ideal, seeing as the election saw a 49 percent turnout overall, but they represent a significant improvement in the political engagement of young people over previous midterms. That said, students need to do more than vote if we want to see change in our communities. The U.S. Congress is infamous for its slow, meandering policy process, and while this snail-crawl may have worked in previous years, we have a new

and eye-opening deadline in 2030 for taking serious action on climate change. We have to contact our elected representatives, both on the national level and on the state level, and demand that they work across the aisle to pass bold policies to curb our carbon emissions. A little-known fact about North Carolina is that we have the second-highest solar energy production of any state in the nation, but our wind production lags far behind. Governor Roy Cooper just issued an executive order pushing the state to develop its renewable infrastructure, and with the GOP supermajorities in the General Assembly newly broken, now is the perfect time for Democrats to force Republicans to work with them to pass good policies, as Republicans will no longer be able to override Cooper’s veto. Although climate change is an imminent and existential threat, that doesn’t mean

fighting it has to be all doom and gloom. The development and construction of green infrastructure is a great way of creating jobs at all skill levels, but especially for NC State students involved in climate or energy research. Although concern for the environment is a widely popular position, progress in our wildly polarized governing bodies is no sure thing. Students need to make their voice heard on the issues that will most impact them: the health of the globe, access to new, high-paying jobs and fighting student loan debt, among others. We have historically let older generations wield far too much power over our future simply because they spend more time and effort on politics than we do. The midterm election demonstrated we may be waking up to this fact, but to really expand our influence, we need to keep it up throughout the year.

Half-baked: Bake sales are ineffective fundraisers W hen I ’m w a l k i ng through the Brickyard, I often see scattered bake sales hosted by various student organizations. Upon these tables sit assorted baked goods, doZack nuts or even store-bought Jenio cookies from the Target on Correspondent Hillsborough. At my high school, student organizations were never allowed to host bake sales for the sole reason of how inefficient they are for educating and gaining student support. Instead, organizations should implement issue-based fundraising in order to emphasize the significance of both their organization and the issue within the community. Issue-based fundraising is not an official term and has not been researched in the field of service learning, but my high school used the phrase frequently to describe proper fundraising techniques. The general meaning is rather straightforward: the focus of the fundraising is on the issue, not the money. This means that the main goal of having a fundraiser should be on the education of others about the issue or organization. The first half of issue-based fundraising is basic education about the issue. Fundraisers need to have information readily available for community members to learn about the topic. This is a very simple addon to fundraisers and can easily be implemented by student organizations. As an example, this can include having a poster board available with information about the issue, its importance and why the

money is needed. Moreover, the group can provide students with brochures or fliers with more information in order to educate the community and spread the importance of the issue outside of the Brickyard and into conversations across campus.

“When student organizations follow the issue-based fundraising model to focus on education first and fundraising second, then they can expect to see longer-lasting changes in the community. The second half of issue-based fundraising revolves around the fundraiser itself and ties it to the education aspect.

This simply means that the mode of fundraising needs to match the reason for fundraising. For example, if an organization is trying

Although they are a cakewalk, bake sales are the most surface-level of all possible fundraisers and the least effective at educating the community. Student organizations need to think out of the box in order to develop fundraisers that change the perceptions and behaviors of the community.

Dix Park event provides opportunity for student input, involvement Ben Wolf Correspondent

Many living on or around NC State’s campus may have heard of Dorothea Dix Park, located just off of NC State’s Centennial Campus. The park is constantly putting on all kinds of shows and events for the people of Raleigh. However, newcomers may not be aware that the park is actually a very recent installment in the city. The park’s land formerly belonged to Dorothea Dix Hospital, which closed its doors in 2010 after being open for over 150 years. In 2015, the land was purchased by the city of Raleigh, and over the last three years, the city has been planning big things for Dix Park. Now, they are ready to begin renovations, but there’s just one last group whose input they’re searching for: the college students of Raleigh. Dorothea Dix Park: University Remix is an event taking place this Friday, Nov. 16, at 6 p.m. at Transfer Co. Food Hall. The event is being held to generate feedback from university students about the plans for Dorothea Dix Park. University Remix is catered to the college crowd, complete with food, music, and exhibitions and performances by students from colleges all over the city, including Shaw University, William Peace University, Meredith College and NC State. Caroline Lindquist, Dorothea Dix Park’s planning specialist, spoke about the open meetings which the park has held concerning the upcoming projects. “Public meetings or community meetings or events aren’t a one-size-fits-all kind of thing,” Lindquist said. “Normally with public meetings, they don’t generally draw many college-age students or young adults…. Not just on this project, but on public meetings in general, you don’t have a lot of college students show up.” With Dorothea Dix Park sitting so close to NC State’s campus, Lindquist is hoping to get the input of current college students so that they will be able to have a say in the park’s development. “The evolution of Dix Park, it’s a longrange project,” Lindquist said. “It’s a park today, but it’s a project for generations to come, as well. We want people who are going to be Raleigh’s future leaders and future citizens to get to have a say in what their city and their park will look like... because this is a park that, as they grow up, will be evolving with them, so we want to be sure that people of all ages get to have a say in this.”

The committee reached out to the Caldwell Fellows, a fellowship at NC State with a focus in serving the local community. It was those students who came up with the idea for the University Remix event. Erica Lisowe, a second-year studying biological engineering and a Caldwell Fellow organizing the event, described it as “a party with a purpose.” “We’re trying to make it a really fun experience,” Lisowe said. “Something that you would want to go to, you would want to come and learn more about Dorothea Dix Park, because this whole renovation process, this whole project that they’re planning is incredible.” The Master Plan will be available for students to comment on freely, along with different concept art and renders of the proposed projects and even a virtual reality tour. According to Lindquist, students will also have the opportunity to suggest new events and spaces the park could create in AMY GAHAN/ARCHIVE the future which cater to their needs.

I know it’s been marketed as a party and such; well, that’s what learning about other people should feel like. The feeling that you feel at this event is going to be something that happens every day at Dorothea Dix Park, whenever this transformation is complete, 10 years down the line.” Lindquist stressed that the event was designed fully by the students, who took the opportunity to place further emphasis on student performances and productions from the different colleges in attendance. Smith and Lisowe want to present the event

as an opportunity for NC State students to interact with other campuses around the city. “A lot of college, especially at NC State, I feel, is very confined within our borders, and it’s not often that you have something that will engage you in a community that’s outside of NC State,” Lisowe said. “When I go to Dorothea Dix Park, it’s such a relief for me to kind of get away, and I would love for other people to see this park as a possibility, as a place where they can get away from their college, as a place where they can connect with people from other colleges.” Smith said that the other campuses are so close, and that he had accidentally discovered several of them while biking through Raleigh as a first-year. “I feel like NC State kind of dominates the Raleigh scene, but we are not the only college population that lives in Raleigh,” Smith said. “I can’t imagine how many other NC State students aren’t aware of the communities around them that at least share the same age demographic with

them.” University Remix is an opportunity for college students to be active in their community and no longer be an underrepresented demographic. It is a chance for them to network and interact with other campuses and with the city, and broaden their horizons. Both Lindquist and the Caldwell Fellows also want to ensure that students don’t forget the park or its illustrious history once they leave the event, either. “I think it’s really cool to have the opportunity to bring together students from colleges throughout Raleigh,” Lindquist said. “I think it’s pretty rare that all these different students come together, and so I think that this event is a cool example of the potential of Dix park for bringing people together who might otherwise not be, and… helping college students see what an influence they really can have on the planning of our city, of our capital and the effect of our greater Triangle area. I hope that people will stay involved, and feel like their voice is heard and understand that it is a park for them.” The event is completely free and open to all, but students are encouraged to RSVP on Eventbrite.

Wrestling ready to follow up historic campaign Alec Sawyer Assistant Sports Editor

Following a historic season that resulted in a fourth-place team finish at NCAAs, the NC State wrestling team will officially kick off the 2018-19 season this weekend with the Wolfpack Duals in Reynolds Coliseum. Head coach Pat Popolizio’s squad is poised for another strong season, as the Wolfpack continues to push itself further into the conversation of the nation’s wrestling powerhouses. NC State will have to replace six of 10 starters from a year ago but has the pieces in place to be just as good. Here is a breakdown of the Wolfpack’s roster: 125 pounds Redshirt senior Sean Fausz will take the reins again at 125 pounds after winning an ACC title in the weight class last season. Fausz didn’t wrestle all of last year’s season but came on strong at the end to enter the NCAA Tournament as the No. 5 seed in the weight class. This year, Fausz enters the season ranked No. 9 in the country at 125 pounds. However, the Wolfpack will be without Fausz this weekend as he competes for the United States at the Under-23 World Championships. Junior Tommy Cox provides some depth at this weight class, as Cox went 16-7 last year. 133 pounds Redshirt sophomore Tariq Wilson exploded onto the scene last season, making an incredible run at NCAAs to finish third in the country after entering the NCAA Championships unseeded. He starts this season ranked No. 3 in the nation by InterMat and is one of the Pack’s best starters. 141 pounds This weight class is wide open for NC State, as the Wolfpack will have to replace one of its most decorated wrestlers ever in Kevin Jack. Redshirt senior brothers Jamal and Jamel Morris will compete for the spot, along with redshirt freshman A.J. Leitten. Jamel Morris looks to be the Pack ’s frontrunner earlier, as he captured the 141-pound title at the Hokie Open earlier in the month. Jamel Morris went 5-0 in that tournament to claim the title, but all three of these guys should get plenty of matches early on. This weight class is a new one for both Morris brothers, as Jamel Morris wrestled at 133 pounds last year and Jamal Morris wrestled at 149 pounds. 149 pounds The Pack brings in a graduate transfer

to replace Beau Donahue at 149 pounds, as Justin Oliver enters the program after starting his career at Central Michigan. Oliver went 28-7 last year and entered the NCAA Tournament as the six seed. Starting off this year, Oliver is ranked No. 6 in the country by InterMat. 157 pounds The only question from this weight class for the Pack is whether or not it will produce a national champion this season. Redshirt sophomore Hayden Hidlay had one of the most impressive freshman seasons in school history last year, going 26-1 with that one loss coming in the NCAA finals. Hidlay is ranked No. 2 in the country by InterMat, behind only Penn State’s Jason Nolf, who beat Hidlay for the NCAA title last season. For NC State, the 157-pound match is where the Pack can go ahead and pencil in a win and likely bonus points in any dual match this season. For Hidlay, the chance to avenge his NCAA loss is definitely on the table as he is one of the front-runners to win a national championship at 157 pounds in 2019. Like Fausz, Hidlay will miss the Pack’s opening weekend at home while competing in the Under-23 World Championships for the United States. 165 pounds In, without a doubt, the Pack’s weakest weight class last season, redshirt sopho-

more Thomas Bullard will start for NC State this season at the one weight it didn’t qualify someone for NCAAs in last year. Bullard redshirted last season but was strong enough to make it to NCAAs the year before at 157 pounds. He took last year’s redshirt to move up weight classes, going 12-3 in open tournaments at 165 pounds. He isn’t ranked to start the season by InterMat, but does appear at No. 23 in the TrackWrestling rankings. 174 pounds The other Bullard brother on the Pack’s roster, redshirt sophomore Daniel Bullard, will start again for the Pack at 174 pounds. Last season, Daniel Bullard went 17-11 and qualified for the NCAA Tournament. To begin this year, Daniel Bullard is ranked No. 17 by InterMat. Providing depth at 174 pounds is one half of yet another set of siblings on NC State’s roster, freshman Trent Hidlay. Trent Hidlay comes into the program as the third-best 174-pound recruit in the country. 184 pounds The Pack has to replace decorated wrestler Pete Renda, who was the four seed at NCAAs last season and will do so with redshirt sophomore Nick Reenan. For NC State, it isn’t uncommon for wrestlers to redshirt a season in the middle of their four years to switch weight classes, and that is the path Reenan has taken.

As a freshman, Reenan qualified for NCAAs at 174 pounds. He took last year off and now enters the 2018-19 season one class heavier. During his redshirt year, he went 21-4 in open tournaments at 184 pounds. Reenan begins the year ranked No. 6 by InterMat. 197 pounds NC State has to replace a national champion, Michael Macchiavello, at 197 pounds. The Pack will go to an experienced veteran in redshirt senior Malik McDonald, who wrestled at heavyweight last year. McDonald has plenty of experience at 197 pounds though, as he wrestled at that weight his first two years at NC State. In 2017, McDonald was an NCAA qualifier at 197 pounds. He starts this season unranked by InterMat but ranked in a few other polls. 285 pounds The heavyweight class is wide open for the Wolfpack, as Michael Boykin has departed. Redshirt junior Tyler Johnson, freshman Colin Lawler and freshman Deonte Wilson will compete for the starting spot. Wilson is the higher-ranked recruit of the two freshmen, but Lawler finished his senior year of high school undefeated with all 36 of his wins coming by pin. Johnson wrestled sparingly at 197 pounds last season for the Pack, going 9-8.

Wilson looks to build off of strong freshman campaign Tyler Stocum Correspondent

Not many freshmen around the country can say they took down the best of the best in their sport en route to a third-place finish at the NCAA tournament and All-American honors. Redshirt sophomore Tariq Wilson did just that last year and is looking to build off of that for a strong sophomore campaign. Wilson first found wrestling when his uncle took him to a practice, and from that point on he became incredibly intrigued by the sport. “It was something I had never seen or heard about before,” Wilson said. “I ended up going to watch a couple of the team’s practices, when eventually I asked the coach if I could practice with the team. He gave me a pair of shoes and told me to get out there.” When Wilson was younger, he played basketball and wrestled, but eventually that became too much, and he stuck with wrestling full-time. Wilson is from Steubenville, Ohio, which is just over eight hours from NC State, but Wilson is able to feel at home here, and that was one of his main reasons for choosing the Wolfpack. “First, it was the great environment the team set forth,” Wilson said. “I also made a good connection with the coaches, Pat [Popolizio], Adam [Hall], Obe [Blanc], and they made me feel at home. The campus is beautiful, everything is close by.” This relaxed, easy-going feeling that Wilson had when he visited NC State showed in his matches last year. It was most noticeable in the NCAA tournament, where he entered unseeded and came out in third place. “The whole tournament was fun, from working out, laughing and having a good time,” Wilson said. “I didn’t want to focus on it being the NCAAs and the biggest tournament of the season. More of a ‘go have fun and lay it on the line’ mentality.” This is a mentality that head coach Pat Popolizio looks to instill to all of his wrestlers. He does not view the rankings as important and wants Wilson and the rest of the team to keep their focus away from them.

SINDY HUANG/ARCHIVE

Redshirt freshman Tariq Wilson fights against Reinhardt on Saturday, Nov. 18, 2017 in Reynolds Coliseum. The Wolfpack beat the Eagles 54-0.

“What makes Tariq so good is he doesn’t get caught up in the nonsense with rankings or what anyone thinks,” Popolizio said. “None of that stuff matters, and it’s not going to stop any one of our guys from accomplishing their goals. If we focus on those rankings, we will not accomplish what we want to as a team and individually. Tariq is great at this, and that is why he believes he can win a national championship.” Wilson has always had that inner confidence in his abilities, but continuing to defeat more well-known wrestlers at the NCAAs

only helped to confirm that confidence. This confidence will only increase going into this season for Wilson. “I knew I could be good, but I didn’t know how good I was until I got to the NCAA tournament,” Wilson said. “For this season, I have a lot of confidence going in, not worrying about what guy I have or who’s in my weight class, but going out there to wrestle and doing what I usually do with the hopes of scoring lots of points for my team.” With a younger squad this year, Popolizio is looking for his team to do the little things

“For this season, I have a lot of confidence going in, not worrying about what guy I have or who’s in my weight class...”

and improve every week. He believes that their talent and work ethic is comparable to any of his past teams. As for Wilson, he has many goals he hopes to accomplish this year during the ACC and NCAA championships. “My goals for this year are to win it all at the NCAAs, because I fell short last year, and just watching the finals last year made me feel left out,” Wilson said. “For the ACC tournament, I want to have a better performance than I did last year. I finished fourth, but I want to capture a title this year and in a dominant fashion.” Wilson also looks forward to the future and life after wrestling. “In the next two to three years, aside from wrestling, I am looking to graduate with a bachelor’s in business and communication,” Wilson said. “I also want to graduate with honor roll because while school is tough, it is more important than wrestling in my book. After that, I’ll be looking for a job that hopefully intertwines business and communication.” You can catch Wilson and the rest of the NC State wrestling team at the Wolfpack Duals this Saturday, Nov. 17 beginning at 2:00 p.m. against Davidson.

Wolfpack men’s basketball looks to stay undefeated versus Maine Tristan Tucker Correspondent

The NC State men’s basketball team (3-0) will look to remain undefeated in nonconference play when the team plays the Maine Black Bears (0-3) on Nov. 17. The Pack is playing with a high-octane offense to begin the year, averaging 100 points per game to start the year. While the first three games were against weaker competition, the highscoring games were exciting for a State fan to watch. The Black Bears are winless to begin the year, with their leading scorer being guard Isaiah White at 13.3 points per game. To put the differences in scoring into perspective, the Pack has six players that score more per40 minutes than White does per-40 minutes. On top of this, the Wolfpack has nine of the top ten scorers per-40 minutes from either team. Last season, Maine finished with a record of 6-26 under head coach Bob Walsh, but at the end of the season Walsh and Maine separated. Maine hired Richard Barron to replace Walsh but has still started the season with disappointing results. White and Andrew Fleming return from last year’s squad and are the two leading scorers for the Black Bears. White also averages 3.3 rebounds and shoots nearly 38 percent from beyond the arc. Fleming on the other hand averages 9.7 points, 5.7 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game and plays the most min-

utes of anyone on the team at 36 minutes per game. For the Pack, redshirt senior guard Torin Dorn has led the way for the most part, averaging 21 points per game and nine rebounds per game. Redshirt junior guard C.J. Bryce, redshirt sophomore guard Devon Daniels and redshirt sophomore forward DJ Funderburk have had nice starts to the season as well, averaging 12.3, 11.3 and 11 points per game respectively. Funderburk began the season shooting 13for-15, so it will be interesting to see if Funderburk can keep up his high efficiency. Starting junior guard Markell Johnson sustained a head injury in the 100-49 blowout win over UNC-Asheville, and it is remained to be seen if Johnson will be available for this game. If Johnson does not play, sophomore guard Braxton Beverly, who recently returned from injury himself, is the most likely candidate to start in his place. Beverly is comfortable running the point, with three assists per game to start the season, and is a solid scorer in place of Johnson, who is averaging 10.5 points per game on 50 percent scoring, and seven threes attempted per game. The Pack will need to keep firing on all cylinders and secure another blowout to maintain the confidence of all players on the roster, especially as the team moves into the tougher portion of its schedule. The game tips off at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 17 at PNC Arena or can be watched from home on the ACC Network Extra.

Ground game to carry load against Cardinals Camden Speight

Assistant Sports Editor

The Louisville Cardinals have struggled on defense this season, and NC State has excelled on offense. It should be as simple as that when the Pack travel to Louisville, Kentucky to take on the Cardinals at 12:20 p.m. on Saturday. The Cardinals (2-8, 0-7 ACC) are still searching for their first ACC win of the year. With the Pack (6-3, 3-3 ACC) being their last chance to do that, the Cardinals will find themselves at the bottom of the ACC. The run defense has been a huge question mark for the Cardinals. They rank in the bottom three in rushing yards allowed per game in all of FBS. Although rushing isn’t NC State’s strength, glimpses of production have happened throughout the season, and it should have no problem getting something going on Saturday.

Running backs senior Reggie Gallaspy Jr. and freshman Ricky Person Jr. will look to continue their production that had increased from the beginning of the year until the matchup against Wake Forest. Both have shown the ability to switch roles at any time to feed the hot hand, as each have games with significant yard production. Normally it is Gallaspy who gets the red zone carries and, in turn, the touchdowns, but against Florida State, Person had two touchdowns, while Gallaspy had more yards. Like most games, NC State will use the ground game to set the tone early and open up the passing game late. However, the Pack may not need a lot from graduate quarterback Ryan Finley to win this one. Despite Louisville’s struggles this season, its pass defense is actually quite good, giving up 186 passing yards a game, ranked at 22nd in FBS. Just last week, Syracuse beat Louisville 54-

ary and find his plethora of receivers, but most of the production and big gains will come on the ground. Either way, the Pack will have no trouble getting on the board and pulling away from Louisville.

Louisville sports editor breaks down Wolfpack vs. Cardinals Q&A Matt Bradshaw with

Andrew Schnittker Sports Editor

Following a crushing loss to Wake Forest at home, NC State football is looking for a bounce back this week. The Wolfpack will travel to Louisville to face a Cardinals team that just fired its head coach. Technician caught up with Matt Bradshaw, sports editor of Louisville student newspaper The Louisville Cardinal, via email to discuss the matchup. Technician: This has obviously been a rough year for Louisville. Besides the loss of Lamar Jackson, what led to this season’s struggles and the firing of Bobby Petrino? Matt Bradshaw: There’s not one good answer for that question because there are so many different reasons. The only way we could know for sure is if the players give us an inside look at what happened behind-the-scenes, but that’s unlikely. If I could summarize the problem, I’d say three things led to the struggles: Hubris, lackluster staff and lack of effort. Petrino was once hailed as an offensive innovator, and that much was true based on his overall solid winning percentage. But everything gets stale over time. The past three years, Jackson powered the offense and his departure proved that he (arguably) should have won the Heisman twice for his elevation of the Cards. Without Jackson, Petrino’s plays and schemes didn’t work and Kirk Herbstreit’s statement proved true that the team was “Lamar and a bunch of

PIGSKIN PICK S Tom Stafford Former NC State Vice Chancellor Record: 69-41 Rank: T-8 NC State vs. Louisville Pittsburgh vs. Wake Forest

dudes.” Petrino’s beginning-of-the-year statement that his offense could somehow hang with Alabama’s is now laughable and proves his hubris. Louisville used to have a good defense that has now remained one of the worst in the nation for two years. Two straight lackluster defensive coordinators are to blame for that. In addition, Petrino’s son and two sons-in-law were also key members of the staff. There was nothing top-notch about the way Petrino was running his program, and his termination for a clean house was necessary to improve the staff. Whether the team’s lack of effort was due to Petrino remains to be seen. But the fact is, based on film, there was something funky about the Cardinals’ fire and will to play. This is a young team, but there’s no way a squad with veteran experience (including Bowl experience) should give up 54 points to Syracuse, 56 to Wake Forest, 66 to Georgia Tech and 77 to Clemson. It’s undeniable they just weren’t trying hard enough. T: What kind of effort do you expect to see from the Cardinals in the first game after Petrino’s firing? MB: I expect an increase in effort but not much improvement with execution. Pretty much all of the city of Louisville was happy to see Petrino go, despite his being a coach here twice over the course of 15 years. Some players on the team probably share that sentiment, and hopefully the overall attitude can become more positive.

But a football team isn’t just a car you can turn around. They might be ready for the hustle plays, but there’s still no way the Cards’ effort can hang with a top-ranked team. T: What are Louisville’s strengths and weaknesses? MB: The Cardinals’ strength is extremely raw talent. Clemson’s coach called Louisville the most talented 2-8 team in the country. While I disagree with this sentiment, there are still some strong position groups. The receivers are among the strongest, even though they haven’t panned out the best this year, and U of L’s field goal kicker Blanton Creque who has only missed one attempt this year. The weaknesses are the defense, as I’ve previously said ranks among the worst in the nation, and running backs who can’t ever seem to record significant yardage. T: Who are some key players? MB: I wouldn’t say there are key players for Louisville. The only way the Cards hang in the matchup is if, as a team, they actually put forth the effort to try and keep up. If I had to pick two, I would say Jawon Pass and Malik Cunningham. The underclassmen pair has switched on and off at quarterback, each with their own struggles. If they can somehow step things up, like Jackson proved so many times in the past three years, then the two can show how a talented quarterback has the power to kickstart the offense. T: How do the Cardinals match up with NC State?
