After a disappointing 2018 campaign, the Wolfpack look to rebuild after losing several key playmakers to the NFL. Quarterback Ryan Finley, running back C.J. Gallaspy and wide receiver Kelvin Harmon are all gone, leaving State’s offense with several big-time replacement jobs.
If you checked out of the coaching carousel this offseason, you may not have seen former West Virginia defensive coordinator Tony Gibson land a job in Raleigh as Co-Defensive Coordinator. Gibson’s relocation makes this matchup really interesting. The plays, signals and tendencies may be different, but the personnel for West Virginia is not. Even though the WVU Offense was pillaged by the NFL, Gibson still knows a lot about what’s left on the roster.
Considering the Gibson connections, as well as the rebuilding nature of both teams, this should make for an interesting early-season staredown.
