The NC State football team will look to remain undefeated this season in their game against Boston College. These are the key players that will play a big role in a potential win.

The NC State football team is off to a great start with a 4-0 record, including a 35-21 win over the Virginia Cavaliers. That win helped vault the Wolfpack into the Top 25, as the AP ranked them 23rd this week.

They will look to remain in the Top 25 but will need to secure a win over the Boston College Eagles. This team is led by star running back AJ Dillon, who is a key part to this Eagles’ offense, a group that has scored over 40 points in four of their first five games.

The potentially good news for the Wolfpack is that Dillon may miss this game. He suffered an ankle injury against Temple this past weekend and head coach Steve Addazio said he would be a game time decision.

Meanwhile, this Wolfpack offense is starting to click and find some balance with the emergence of Ricky Person Jr. The freshman had the team’s first 100-yard rushing game of the season last week, with 108 against Virginia.

These are the key players for the NC State football team against Boston College.
