Talk about a sweet ending. NC State will head to Orlando on Dec. 28 for the Pop-Tarts Bowl against Kansas State as the icing on top for the 2023 season — tickets are available now.
NC State finished its regular season with a 9-3 record, meaning this game could be the Pack’s 10th win of 2023 — the Wolfpack hasn’t had a 10-win season since 2002 with an 11-3 record.
This is the inagural Pop-Tarts Bowl, but the bowl has gone by other names in the past, including the Cheez-It Bowl, Camping World Bowl, and more.
The Pop-Tarts Bowl will feature the first-ever edible mascot, according to a press release from Kellogg’s. The winning team gets to take a bite (or a few) of the sweet treat — head coach Dave Doeren said he wants to enjoy his potential piece with a bourbon chaser.
