The North Carolina State Wolfpack will be looking for their first ever trip the ACC Championship Game. These are the four most important games for the Wolfpack this upcoming season.

The 2017 season was a great one for the NC State Wolfpack as it was the first time they had a winning record in the ACC since 2010. Last year they went 6-2 and their two losses were by a combined 13 points.

This year they will look to improve on that record and be the first team since 2009 to represent the Atlantic Division not named Clemson or Florida State.

However, the team will need to address some key losses this offseason, specifically on the defensive line. The Wolfpack saw four defensive linemen be drafted in the NFL Draft, led by the fifth overall pick Bradley Chubb who was selected by the Denver Broncos.

Fortunately for head coach Dave Doeren, he will have a veteran on the offensive side of the ball leading this group with quarterback Ryan Finley. The past two seasons Finley has thrown 35 touchdowns and only 14 interceptions and should be able to continue similar production.

Looking ahead to the 2018 season, these are the four biggest game for the Wolfpack as they hope to make this upcoming season a historic one.
