NC State Wolfpack Beat Rival ECU 24-17 + Expectations For Bill Belichick, UNC Tar Heels?

Reese, Kmac and Alex discuss NC State's win over ECU, UNC football and more.

The NC State Wolfpack defeated ECU last night. NC State led 17-0 in the 1st half, but needed a 4th-down stop in the final minute to preserve its 24-17 victory over East Carolina. Last night's game ended without incident, a stark contrast to the previous meeting between the two programs in the 2024 Military Bowl—won by ECU—which was spoiled by a late-game brawl. Why did ECU struggle offensively so much in the first half? CJ Bailey impressed? How much has he improved? 

Bill Belichick will make his highly anticipated debut as head coach of the North Carolina Tar Heels on Monday, September 1, 2025, when UNC hosts TCU at Kenan Stadium in Chapel Hill. Excitement is building around Belichick’s first college coaching season, with tickets already sold out and national attention focused on how the legendary NFL coach will transition to the college game. But what do we know and what can we expect from UNC this season?

Is Duke the best football team in the triangle?
