In 2012, the Huskies earned a BCS bid, though Doeren had left for N.C. State the same weekend Northern Illinois got the nod from the Orange Bowl. Things haven't been so smooth in Raleigh, where Doeren sports a 7-13 mark (including 0-12 in the ACC) over the last two seasons. However, with three remaining games against teams with losing records (North Carolina, Syracuse and Wake Forest), the Wolfpack has a realistic shot at returning to the postseason after a one-year hiatus. [/I] [B][I]Best player[/I][/B] [I][/I] [B][I]QB Jacoby Brissett[/I][/B] [I] The Florida transfer is the biggest difference between last year's disaster and this season's, well, somewhat improved version of the Wolfpack. N.C. State didn't have a fit at quarterback for Doeren's preferred offense. This year, it does in the form of Brissett. One problem: After a great start (largely against substandard competition), Brissett has struggled mightily. In five September games, he averaged 272.8 yards passing, completed 68.9 percent of his throws and had 13 touchdowns and one interception. In three October games, he averaged 144 yards, completed 45 percent of his passes and had three touchdowns and two interceptions. ...[/I] [IMG]http://media.charlotteobserver.com/smedia/2014/08/23/22/23/7vXAU.Em.138.jpeg[/IMG] [SIZE=3]NC State QB Jacoby Brissett, the 2nd Best UF QB Transfer Now Starting in the ACC[/SIZE] [B][URL='http://sujuiceonline.com/2014/10/28/north-carolina-state-wolfpack-2014-syracuse-football-scouting-report/']NC State Scouting Report (sujuiceonline.com; Cheng)[/URL][/B] [I]Syracuse will try for its second conference win of the season when it hosts NC State on Saturday. Here is a quick look at the game: [B]PLAYERS DISCIPLINED[/B]: When North Carolina State takes the field against Syracuse on Saturday, they will be without defensive tackle T.Y. McGill. The third leading tackler for the Wolfpack will be serving the second of a two-game suspension for an unspecified violation of team rules.[URL='https://twitter.com/jgravleyWRAL/status/524302431287382018']According to reports[/URL], the suspension has nothing to do with an off-campus BB gun incident that caused coach Dave Doeren to suspend seven players in last week’s loss against Louisville. Those players — Jerod Fernandez, Josh Jones, Johnathan Alston, Justin Jones, Pharoah McKever, Jumichael Ramos and Mike Stevens will be back in uniform against SU. “These are good young men who made a mistake in not recognizing that this activity could have resulted in someone being injured,” Doeren said in a statement. “Our players admitted their mistake and we will help them learn from it.” ...[/I] [B][FONT=Arial][SIZE=6][COLOR=#ff8000]Recruiting[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/B] [IMG]http://media.nj.com/njcom_football_blog/photo/11767875-large.jpg[/IMG] [B][URL='http://www.dailyorange.com/2014/10/verbal-commit-ellison-looks-to-add-versatility-depth-to-syracuse-secondary/']Feature on Prized CB Verbal Daivon Ellison (DO; Blum)[/URL][/B] [I]At their request, this network is being blocked from this site., ESPN, Rivals and Hudl all list Daivon Ellison as a cornerback. But the Don Bosco Preparatory (New Jersey) High School senior doesn’t define himself as the recruiting websites do. The reason Syracuse recruited him, he says, is because he can basically play any position. “I’m not just a corner,” he said. And it’s Ellison’s ability to play safety and corner that can only help a Syracuse secondary that has struggled with its depth in the last couple of seasons. He is the most recent commit to SU’s Class of 2015 after verbally committing on Aug. 25 and will have a lot of competition to see the field right away. Also part of the class are cornerbacks Gerald Robinson and Andrew Spence, along with three more safeties — and Ellison’s versatility could give him an edge as the Orange secondary continues to evolve. ...[/I] [/QUOTE]
