Out of the national rankings for the first time this season, N.C. State needs a bounce-back performance before setting its sights on a rival.

The Wolfpack, having suffered a 21-20 upset loss to Boston College last Saturday, play at Louisville on Saturday.

N.C. State (7-3, 3-3 ACC) is heading to a bowl game but is stinging from that loss to Eagles that ended the Wolfpack’s school-record-tying 16-game home winning streak. The rest of N.C. State’s games will be away from Carter-Finley Stadium, starting with Saturday’s matchup against the Cardinals (6-4, 3-4).

N.C. State closes the regular season Nov. 25 at North Carolina in a 3:30 p.m. game on ABC.

Television coverage for the Wolfpack’s game at Louisville Saturday changed midweek to the ACC’s regional sports networks. That allowed ACC Network, which was originally slated to broadcast the game, to televise Virginia’s 3:30 p.m. memorial service at John Paul Jones Arena honoring the three football players murdered last Sunday.
