NC State Game Thread...

But the D has to get a stop at some point. Bad call aside, there was/is plenty of ball left.

Absolutely. We should be up though. It's difficult with Mahoney as is. Love the kid, but they were given points. Maybe the D could have held them to a FG. Who knows. We shouldn't know. It was a completely awful call that has them up at halftime. The D has done well. Time for the O to get the ball, and score.
 
Thought we were going to get a roughing the passer there. Glad we didn't.
 
The game is over. Literally because of an awful PI call. Agree, or not, but that's what just happened.
We all agree the PI call was terrible. You are the only one who sees it as evidence of some grand Dixieland conspiracy against the schools of the North. Did the bad call affect the game? absolutely. Does it determine the outcome of the game? Absolutely not.

You need to let it go. What you are doing now is nothing more than childish whining.
 
Incredible, really.

Disagree. The int was fortuitous. Dino was banking on a score by nc state and then we hope for a long kick return. Once we got the int and touchback, our strategy appropriately changed.

I lol'd. I can picture it now: "Now, listen here boys: We ain't about to let dem Yankees git any righteous calls! No way, no how!"
 
Switch coaches in this game and NC State would be up huge.

Good point. Gambling on better field position from ST. Glad we get the ball to start the half.

I agree. I'm done whining. Let's win the game. I apologize for being a child about it. I just want to win, but now I feel like these damn protesters. I'm too old for that.

We got this, LGO!
 
long kick returns are few and far between .more likely to get dropped inside the 20 than return it over the 40.
 
A few thoughts:

- Bend but don't break defense is painful to watch.
- Thank goodness NC State doesn't run the ball up the middle every play. They'd be up by 3 TD's.
- Mahoney's deep ball is good, but his force to AET was ill advised in the first quarter.
- We need a RB. Strickland is not the answer, no matter what anyone says. He doesn't have feel back there, doesn't have the quick burst needed and can't cut fluidly enough. Nice athlete, but not a RB. I think he'd be better served to go to WR or defense.
 
Hope Strick is ok.

He's too slow making decisions behind the line.

There's being patient to find your hole but he's just s l o w
