Cuse opens -2.5 over NC State..

[CuseBlood44]

Not much movement since Monday, but it’s up to -5 at a few books.

With like 95% of bets on Cuse. This might be a 3 point win if we do win

I dont know if I’ve seen this mentioned anywhere yet, but there won’t be students there Saturday night. It’s their fall break. MacLain just mentioned it on his pod.

I'm sure many of the in-state students would come back for a game if they were good and they considered it a big game.

But not with this 3-3 team. And not against us.

I went to that stadium for Caps-Canes NHL stadium series a few years back. Was sold out. Everything was a nightmare. Bathroom lines, food lines, beer lines (they did allow beer because the NHL sanctioned it, but had to be a separate line from food).

Play a clean game and we win by a few scores or more. Just dont give them any points.

The fact that the break is actually after the weekend makes it more likely as well they dont come back unless they live close.

Gift points have been the difference in so many WT# losses. Stanford, that pick six is the difference.

Either be super clean or so dominant that it doesn’t matter.

One good sign for this team is that it over came handing UNLV 14pts on a platter.

One thing I'll be looking for is Nixon getting the playcalls in faster. Too many plays in Vegas McCord was covering his ears, waiting and waiting for the call. If he's rushing to get the snap off then he's not looking over the defense the way we need him to. Plus there's no easier signal for the pass rush to tee off than seeing 1 second on the play clock.

 

[upperdeck]

Since the coach turns off 15 secs before the snap i dont think getting the play in is really causing a huge issue. those last 15 secs are Kyle adjusting to what he sees or something coming in from the sideline

Pretty sure that is not what happened in Vegas. Communication with the QB is cut off with 15 seconds on the play clock. It looked like the game plan was to use the clock and limit TOP for Vegas.

You can use the clock and still get set with 7 or 8 seconds to see what the defense is giving you. Too often they were rushing to the line just to get the snap off.

We definitely used a "control the clock" playbook. It's evident by the short passing game and the number of plays that went down to 1 or zero on the clock.

 

[Newhouser]

Same prediction as last week which would have been true if we never punted. Comfortable win. Not easy but relatively stress free.

 

[690West]

Wow. We haven’t won back to back road games in TWELVE YEARS

This team doesnt quit. GT, Stanford, UNLV all gutty performances and very impressive " 2 min" Drives.

 

[690West]

Interesting. Down to -3.5 all over the place.

 

[Eric15]

"Fall break" didn't the school year start like five weeks ago?

 

[CbusCuse]

Maybe this was intentional to not allow the defense to see our formation, think it through and adjust accordingly.

 

[dasher]

I’ve seen enough games to know that it does matter more often than not

It doesn't matter at all. Doesn't play in to the game at all. Not one bit. Now, are oddsmakers sometimes right on ..sure. Who cares?

They sell beer now at the football games and have since 2019. They are separate lines from the food though.

Ah, ok. We were told at the time that it was separate because the NHL was providing the beer sales.

 

[kirbivore]

I don’t have the numbers in front of me but I’m almost positive that this is the first time we have been favored at NC State since our Thursday night game in 1998 (which obviously didn’t go well).

Ah yes future NFL borderline HOF Torry Holt shredding DeLeones' defense.

 

[Pyle]

Yes and they will also get a another break for Thanksgiving and finals start 2nd week of December. So when you look at it, it's the 1/3 semester break, semesters are 15 weeks and there you have it.

Amazing we ran 96 plays AND ran the clock! McCord is in complete control of all aspects of this offense.

school started mid august for most schools. This would be 8 weeks in

 

[orangenauburn]

Wow. We haven’t won back to back road games in TWELVE YEARS

Before Doug, it was once in 2010, and before that it was all the way back in 2001 (at Rutgers and at Pitt).

So basically in 23 years we have won back to back road games three times - 2001, 2010, 2012

Line down to 3 on ESPN.
