State/Maryland Game Thread

Marlyand 27 – NC State 24 FINAL

The Wolfpack defense yields a drive to their two-yard line as the clock melts towards zeros, and Maryland makes a field goal try to once again put the Pack in the “Close, But No Cigar” department.   No moral victory, this.

24-24 nearing end of 3rd quarter.

17-17 at the half.  On offense, State looks pretty good, save for dropped balls that should have been caught.  Defense is, as usual, suspect.  Thin to begin with and depleted by injuries, this unit is undoubtedly a recruiting focus for Tom O’Brien and his staff.

Long, sustained drive by the Pack to open the game. NC State 7, Maryland 0.

I will not be able to update much longer, so please be active in the comments, especially if you have ESPN360!

    I don’t know if it’s a good thing…..I’m starting to sound like Jim Rome.

    Un——beleivable

    TOUCH——DOWN

    I crack myself up sometimes.

    Double frickin D finally plays some football.

    Touchdown, RW looking cool as a cucumber.

    Now our D needs to break a foot off in someone and get a turnover. Defense will win the game now.

    Heck, I’d take the defense forcing a punt.

  8. RabidWolf 10/25/2008 at 4:28 PM #

    Hold em here Pack!

  9. wufpup76 10/25/2008 at 4:28 PM #

    Great job, D! 3 and out from a 1st and 5 … WAY TO GO!

  10. RabidWolf 10/25/2008 at 4:29 PM #

    Great Defense!!!! That’s the way to play it!!

  11. Sw0rdf1sh 10/25/2008 at 4:30 PM #

    I’m with that 1.21Jigs.

    3rd and 5 screen pass is eaten up by our D.

    They punt to the 26, once again TJ doesn’t touch it or try to faircatch it…it was a little short but they got a good bounce.

    Ant Hill Dropped Pass … SHOCKING!

  13. Sw0rdf1sh 10/25/2008 at 4:35 PM #

    3 and 6th CB blitz for a sack. We are punting.

    How bout tackle someone, jeez!

  16. StateFans 10/25/2008 at 4:40 PM #

    How about a time and score update?

  17. wolf2003 10/25/2008 at 4:42 PM #

    24 all with 1.55 left in third.

  18. Sw0rdf1sh 10/25/2008 at 4:42 PM #

    24 to 24 … 3rd quarter with 1.45 left.

    Our defense goes from looking stout to silly. Missed tackles are killing us.

    Last play of the 3rd Willis JR gets his sack! BAM!

    Time to pull this out in the fourth.

    NC State Defense = Pee Wee Herman. Just getting man handled.

  20. wolf2003 10/25/2008 at 4:43 PM #

    Sack!! Keith Willis Jr.

  21. packplantpath 10/25/2008 at 4:45 PM #

    nice sack.

    Seems ant hill is always good for a dropped pass when we need it most.

    Why is he so highly regarded again?

  22. wpackman33 10/25/2008 at 4:46 PM #

    Idiots. penalties are killing us. Come on fellas!

  23. wolf2003 10/25/2008 at 4:46 PM #

    Muff the punt!! Jeez TJ!

  24. RabidWolf 10/25/2008 at 4:48 PM #

    GOT to stop this drive! Come ON D!

  25. wolf2003 10/25/2008 at 4:48 PM #

    MD gets the ball back on a unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on the punt.
