NC State prepares to face an injury-depleted Richmond side this Friday

NC State hosts an undefeated Richmond team this Friday in a non-conference college football matchup. The Spiders enter the game with a 2-0 record after shutting out both of their initial FCS opponents in the first half. Despite the successful start, Richmond deals with several notable injuries, including linebacker Carter Glassmyer and safety Lee Bruner IV, who are both listed as out. Starting quarterback Ashten Snelsire and right tackle Godwin Burger are expected to play despite sustaining injuries last week. NC State enters the game looking to rebound following its season-opening performance. The Spiders rely on a defense featuring Patriot League preseason Defensive Player of the Year Camden Byrd, while the offense centers on running back Aziz Foster-Powell and tight end Sean Clarke.
