    Few things that I noticed

    TO margin has dropped off since the first part of the year. Those people that think that State is good enough to have 4 TOs (like they did to ECU) and still win are destined for disappointment.

    State’s defense is now good enough to rank as “average” or “mediocre”. It wasn’t that long ago that this would have had State fans up in arms. Now it’s a marked improvement over the last several years.

    Poor showings based on coference ranking:
    Rushing offense – 8th
    Pass Efficiency Defense = 9th
    Scoring Defense – 8th
    Net Punting – 8th
    KO Returns – 10th
    Pass Defense – 8th
    Sacks Allowed – 10th

    Thanks, WV. That’s all very interesting and appreciated. I’m somewhat shocked to see Nate up there on the top of some of those team statistics. I just haven’t noticed that his comeback year has been that extraordinary. Glad to see I’ve missed it, and I’m super happy for that kid and his recovery.

    I don’t think there are ANY teams good enough to win with 4 turnovers per game… Unless it’s pro vs. highschool differential in talent.

    If we never turn the ball over again, we’ll probably finish the season with 5 straight wins, an ACC championship, and a BCS game.

    I’m not surprised that Nate is leading State in tackles at MLB. However, I am surprised that he is leading in tackles for loss and second in sacks. I still think that he has lost a step…but he is still having a really good senior year.
