Preparing for NC State, What Do We Know?

[MadNY3]

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

And...we don’t play Duke.

Dammit. I whiffed on that.

(NC State is still good/dood enough).

The one thing I know for certain about NC State is that Dave Doeren is the biggest loser in the ACC...

fishing for likes, but I bit anyways - strongly dislike that dude

 

[TheCusian]

Talk to me when we win the OL battle.

winning the OL battle will involve them getting slightly better over the bye, maybe a player change, and creative play calling that protects TD better

give our coaches some credit

I would imagine that the coaching staff during the bye week has watched plenty of film of the NC State defense and looked at how that impacts Syracuse's many weaknesses on the offensive line. Whether it be pass protection or run blocking, I'm sure they have schemed to maximize what they think they can do to take advantage of what Syracuse can do. My biggest concern is execution. Will Syracuse be able to execute. This is a very important game and every single one of the eleven men out there must do their job on every play. That has been missing for the majority of the 2019 season to date. In a hostile environment against a team that you are capable of beating, the thing that separates you and allows you to win is consistent execution. This is a nationally televised game where all the eyes of the college football world will be focused. It has not gone well the first two times in this situation, lets just all hope the third time is the charm. Go Orange!!!!!!!!!

On I95 headed to the Outer Banks for the week. My brother and I are going to make the trek over for this one. Hoping for a rallying point in the season.

Being a to the media who follow you. Sounds like a good strategy. What could go wrong?

Who does that guy think he is, Boeheim?

Just ask JAB

A freshman starting left tackle you say?

Mr. Robinson and Mr. Coleman come on down.

we will have negative rushing yards and tommy will get sacked a couple of times. I think the defense holds tough in spurts but will give up a couple of chunk gains that allows NCST to take this one. Their home splits are pretty strong and our offense generally sucks.

We won’t have negative rushing yards.

You're not wrong on some of this - but you left out that they suck on offense too, are starting their #2 QB (while their fans want #3), a new freshman OT, and we'll have the best WR on the field. I think it will be very tight game. I like our coach better.

Totally understand all of that but I get a weird feeling that we will give up some dumb chunk plays even with their offensive personnel.

Ok, that was hyperbolic, but we will have less than 100.

I hear ya. I think that will happen - I just think our offense has more juice than theirs and will get a few more plays when we need them. I think Andre's leg comes into play, too.

Jesus, what is the matter with you people?

Mr. Robinson and Mr. Coleman come on down.

That’s exactly what everyone said about the Maryland game and Robinson and Coleman were invisible.

Devito, 25 of 38 for 315 and 4 tds

Buckle up, every single one of these games can go in any direction. I have no expectations for any game at all, other than the obvious, I would like to win. But as far as trying to predict the outcome, strengths/weaknesses for any game - it's a crapshoot that I think will be the theme for the remaining games. I still think we get 6,7 wins pre-bowl game. Just have zero idea which games will be the wins.
