Louisiana Tech at NC State

After playing three in a row at home, Louisiana Tech heads out on the road for this one. In their only road game, they gave up 35 points and 370 yards passing in a loss at Mississippi State, despite the Bulldogs turning it over four times. La Tech is dealing with a slew of injured quarterbacks with J.D. Head and Luke Anthony both out, and Austin Kendall missed last week's game and is questionable. Sophomore QB Aaron Allen (0 TDs, 0 INTs) was forced to start as the offense had 286 total yards (81 rushing yards) in a 24-17 win over North Texas as a 9-point favorite. NC State is in the Top 25 after knocking off Clemson, 27-21. The win puts them in a great position for a shot at an ACC title. QB Devin Leary (10 TDs, 2 INTs) connected on 32 of 44 passes against Clemson as NC State had a whopping time of possession edge of 41:48 to 18:12. NC State is on an 8-1 ATS run at home and holds all the cards here. Play NC State.
