NC State Must Account for Virginia's Playmakers in ACC Clash

The Wolfpack face Virginia with a four-game winning streak in the series. Key Cavaliers include quarterback Beau Pribula, a dual-threat transfer from Missouri, and running back Jekail Middlebrook. Linebacker Kam Robinson's availability remains uncertain after an ACL injury.

EXPANDED:

Virginia enters this matchup having posted an 11-3 record and reached the ACC Championship game last season under former quarterback Chandler Morris. The Cavaliers have since rebuilt their offensive identity around Missouri transfer Beau Pribula, whose dual-threat production last year included nearly 2,000 passing yards and six rushing touchdowns. NC State's defense must also account for Middlebrook's versatility out of the backfield, as he contributed over 1,100 scrimmage yards at Middle Tennessee State.

On defense, Virginia's unit could be shorthanded if Kam Robinson cannot play after suffering an ACL injury against Duke
