North Carolina State is having a difficult season. But the Wolfpack is not giving up on its season, despite lacking bowl prospects. "As long as we're breathing," Coach Tom O'Brien said, "we've got something to play for."

It has been a down year for N.C. State, but quarterback Russell Wilson is still playing exceptionally well. He should pose a challenge to the Hokies on Saturday.

But it's no secret that Wilson is a gifted baseball player. In fact, there have been questions about whether he will leave N.C. State next summer to pursue a professional baseball career. Wilson played down the notion that family financial concerns would affect his decision.
