The No. 23 N.C. State Wolfpack look to avoid a letdown when they host the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs Saturday in Raleigh.

N.C. State (3-1) ended an eight-game losing streak against Clemson when they upset the then-No. 9 Tigers 27-21 in overtime last Saturday. Now they're heavy favorites against Louisiana Tech (2-2).

"People are going to talk about trap games and letdowns and all those kinds of things. I've already addressed that with our team," coach Dave Doeren said. "This game is about being better than we were last week. That's our goal, to be a great football team. Great football teams don't step backwards."
