Preparing for NC State, What Do We Know?

[jgeorge322]

This is a must win. Bc duke wake are all going to be tough. This is a must win. We MUST go to a bowl game this year to keep the momentum going. We lose this game and were not going bowling.

NC State isn't good. People on this board are too cautious about this game. Some are calling it a toss up. This isn't a toss up. Western Michigan would run them off of the field. Syracuse should be the favorite in Raleigh.

NC State is a good team. We are on the road.

And...we don’t play Duke.

Ummmm yes we do

Go to bed.

it just shows any team that doesnt play well its going to look bad

 

[Trueblue25]

Nc state will be dangerous at home. Don’t like that it’s on a thursday either

 

[Trueblue25]

They have 8 sacks tonight?

All games will be tough but we should be able to win 3 by holding our dome field advantage (2-1 at worst) and winning 1 of the roadies

honestly, I don't envision that being a factor at all. We have a bye next week, so we've got 12 days to get ready for them. Playing on Thursday will be irrelevant

I agree, just dont like it.

Coming off the bye, I think we will be ok, we have extra days to prepare and heal up.

NC State will be tough at home but they are no where near as dangerous as years past.

Losing Finley for them has been comparable to us losing ED

SU may not be a favorite in any of their remaining games.

Bad memories. I see Torry Holt coming back in an 81 jersey and doing it to us again.

I think the QB transition for them has been even tougher. At least Tommy got valuable reps last year in important games

NC State also lost Person tonight as well. Their D line isn't bad and could cause some issues. Their offense is terrible and now down a key asset. If we can make some changes on our oline based on the performance we saw with guys like Bergeron and be aggressive on D, we should beat them

Unfortunately this doesn’t seem like the kind of team that knows how to take advantage of a home field. Gonna be hard to cheer for these guys knowing points will be hard to come by. We knew dungeys guys could put up points and EDs toughness made them easy to rally behind. This year’s group is like trying to start a car that won’t turn over.

Don’t ever change. We know where you stand.

Good lord

Good lord

There is no way the lord is involved with anything going on in that mind.

If the HC DLine could give us problems, I have no reason to believe every team we have left to play could potentially do the same.

Well he's 43 now so hopefully we can keep up with him.

 

[oldpinepoint]

Every game left on our schedule scares me. I’ll be happy if we can get to a bowl game this year

 

[cusefan88]

Both teams have poor OL play and can get pressure on the opposing QB with the DL. Seems like the game could be a low-scoring affair.
