Tennessee Chances to Win vs. NC State in Week 2

NC State will be Tennessee's first big test as the first ranked opponent on the Vols' schedule. Tennessee defeated their lone ACC opponent last year (Virginia), though NC State will pose a much bigger challenge than the Cavaliers did last year.

How the Volunteers Win vs. North Carolina State

For Tennessee to win this one, the defense will need to step up against a talented NC State offense that boasts an excellent receiving corps. The Vols lost a few players in their secondary from last year, meaning the Tennessee pass rush will need to get pressure on NC State quarterback Grayson McCall. Luckily, the Vols have defensive lineman James Pearce, who earned 10 sacks in his sophomore year last year and is poised for another successful season.

How the Wolfpack Wins vs. Tennessee

This game has potential to be a high-scorer, meaning NC State needs to play mistake-free football on offense in order to have a chance at this one. If McCall can minimize errors and lean on his talented wide receiver group, led by Kevin Concepcion who finished with 1,159 yards from scrimmage and 10 touchdowns in 2023.
