NC State Game Day Thread

[Finwad32]

I don’t think anyone expected to blow them out, but we had them on the ropes and bailed them out with a ridiculous punt block call for a team that never blocks punts.

Up 7, getting the ball after half.. I hope to see an offense that figures out how to score in the middle
2 quarters and a coaching staff that limits that call as being their only big mistake.

That was a huge swing play for sure. Needed to adjust sooner after they adjusted to the deep ball as well.

DB’s great with adjustments... a nice drive capped with a tuddie puts us in great shape.

we would've taken a 7 point half time lead before the game started right?

 

[OrangeDW]

How did that workout?

The same as every other drive in the second quarter?

I liked the move. Gives NC State more to think about. Gave Dungey a little break and maybe let him refocus a bit and see the game from a different perspective for a minute.

 

[Cusefan69]

Damn straight we would have.

 

[OrlandoCuse]

Dear baby Jesus, please let us come out of halftime and score a touchdown on our first drive...then follow it up with 5 more

How did that workout?

Even though DeVito's series didn't work out, I'm still glad he got off the bench. Good chance we'll need him somewhere in the 2nd half.

Lol Decent?

And with the ball to start the2nd half

Roughing the punter swung the game. Need a score out of the half.

 

[FllCrtPrss]

I'm still a little pissed that the refs let a roughing the kicker go on NC State after calling us for roughing on a play that changed the game around so much.

I went back and watched the punt where Hofrichter got hit and NC State was not even close to being blocked into him. The guy dove straight into him.

Very mad im not there but it looks awesome on TV!

Not bad. Upper end zone with 10$ tickets is packed. And everyone’s drinking and eating. Opposite endzone empty and empty seats don’t buy beer. Why they just don’t sell corner EZ to corner Ez for 10$ I will never understands.

I’m guessing 38k actual.

Lol Decent?

Right. We got a couple first downs on that drive right? Wasn’t like it was some disaster.

31-13 if Riley plays smart. Such a dumb play...we were getting the balk in good field position.

 

[DocFlanders]

We need to ball it out, we are so bad at letting other teams come back, just F them up guys!!!!

That's not on Riley...IMO, you don't call a punt block at that point in the game.

 

[Cusefan69]

I wouldn’t mind seeing a few more running plays mixed into the second half as well. The pendulum swung to far to airhead football at one point. State was not thinking we would run at all in the first half after the first couple series. Need to keep their defense honest.

Bad coahing decision IMO

Agreed. Yea Riley made a mistake, but he never should’ve been put in that position to make the mistake by being asked to do something we rarely do.

Looked like a flop by hof

[rrlbees]

We went all in on the punt block. When you go all in you expect to block it.

 

[Nahson]

Yeah, super weird. His reply was like a “gotcha” moment... okay...
