The longtime Columnist for the Raleigh News & Observer Luke DeCock joined Kyle Bailey on the Clubhouse to preview a big weekend of football in the Triangle, and his latest thoughts on the Panthers.

Luke first weighed in on the Tar Heels-Wolfpack matchup in Chapel Hill this weekend as it's the first ranked matchup between these two teams in over 30 years, but Luke said the hype around this matchup has been dampened by the injury to NC State QB Devin Leary. Luke said that NC State can still win the game, but they have to rely on the run game and make it an old-school type of football game.

Luke also gave his thoughts on the Panthers losing to the Bears this past weekend as he feels the same about the Panthers as he did a couple of weeks ago that this is not a good team, but not a terrible football team. Luke also thinks the separation of talent will really cost the Panthers this weekend against the Saints on the road.
