"Question: What’s the top priority for Duke, UNC and N.C. State during the next four weeks of preseason practice?


Joe Giglio (N.C. State beat reporter): As much as it possibly can, N.C. State needs to get its two new tackles on offense and new kicker and punter “game” ready.

Senior Alex Barr should make a relatively easy transition from right guard to right tackle, but redshirt freshman Tyler Jones has never played in a college game. Neither has freshman punter A.J Cole nor either candidate to replace Nik Sade at kicker.

Realistically, there’s only so much you can do to prep new kickers Kyle Bambard and Jackson Maples for the Sept. 5 opener with Troy."
