ABC will have Rece Davis on play-by-play, Kirk Herbstreit as the analyst and Holly Rowe the reporter for NC State vs. Tennessee in Charlotte, N.C.

NC State coach Dave Doeren said safety Devan Boykin will be out until at least October, but nickel Ja'Had Carter will play against Tennessee. Boykin had injured his ACL last December leading up to the bowl game.

I didn't have meticulously going through NC State and Western Carolina on my bingo card, but I took copious notes on the bigger plays, which always makes the "The review" easy to write.

I also watched Tennessee and Tennessee-Chattanooga as a contrast. My take-away is that if WCU makes a simple field goal, it's a one-score game with a little over four minutes left. Some areas can be corrected, mostly on offense. The defense had some issues, but I'll need to see them play with Caden Fordham at middle linebacker and Ja'Had Carter at nickel. The pass rush was disappointing when you see two sacks and four tackles for loss and one of them was on the last play of the game, but I'll play along and see if the more exotic blitzes are being saved for Tennessee.
