find a way to beat NCst

[Cuse House]

Truly believe Zeed was the key to us winning 10 games. Our WRs have played well but he is a huge loss. I believe we beat Stanford with Zeed. We should have won regardless, but that is besides the point. Zeed, Pena, Meeks, and OG is a ridiculous receiving corps with LQA out of the backfield.

Agreed, we desperately need Zeed back.

I truly hope everything is ok with him, but I'm starting to doubt that it's actually a "family issue". I hope I'm wrong. But if he doesn't come back soon, I don't think he ever will

If Pitt wins today at UNC good chance they’ll be ranked when we play them.

If we wind up playing FOUR ranked teams this season in addition to multiple night games on the road can we officially stop calling this schedule easy? Lol

 

[RandomGuy]

For the first time since 2021 I will make a stance here….Go Cuse.

This is the 1st time I truly believe we could win all those games. Assuming we fix the neglect on special teams. (Its unacceptable)

Our offense can cover for some def hiccups. I think we make some noise.

 

[Cuse12]

NCSU is way more winnable then we thought and other games are much tougher then we thought. If we want to be top 5-6 in the ACC we need to win this game straight up. I feel pretty good about our chances. It’ll be another close game

I concur, the likelihood of him coming back is slim.

Im predicting Cuse -5 . We could lose for all the valid reasons mentioned, but we should be favored. Now state is dangerously close to “nothing to play for” based on preseason expectations. Just lost to “worst“ ACC team at home. This team may be on a similar trajectory as the Louisville team Dungey destroyed in 2018

Just walked by sports book in Horseshoe. Cuse now -5!

 

[Jcuse_44]

True freshman at QB so you bring constant pressure to rattle him, right? Right?

With 3 guys yea lol.

 

[Fanalways]

Hopefully Marlowe will be back then too.

If my memory is correct, in recent years it seems that we lose coming out of a bye.

It was a Babers specialty, not just a loss, often a blowout and noncompetitive. We always looked uninspired, unmotivated and unprepared.

Dino is gone

And almost always at Louisville.

sure seemed that way!

Heard on ACC PM that NCSt is on fall break this week, that and their start could make the energy lower.

Does SU have fall break?

 

[shandeezy7]

Does SU have fall break?

Yes, the same as NC State. Not really a full break, just next Monday and Tuesday off.

When should we know if McCall is playing or not?

 

[cusefan88]

When should we know if McCall is playing or not?

Doeren said yesterday he hasn't been ruled out...for the rest of the season.

So my take is at a minimum he's out this week and then they'll see if he can even return this year.

 

[GoSU96]

When should we know if McCall is playing or not?

He’s not playing

 

[David321]

He’s not playing

That definitely changes things. I can't imagine their backup being as good, not many teams can pull a UNLV.

 

[GoSU96]

Doeren refused to talk injuries beyond McCall. Sounds like they are beat up.

SU is getting guys back.

the backup is a FR but he has played much better in the spots he has played than Mccall has.

 

[DocFlanders]

weird how other teams back ups always seem to play better than their starters when we play them...actually it's quite annoying

 

[rocklloyd]

We need someone from nc state to question our toughness in public setting.

Has been happening for 30+ years in basketball.
