State/Wake Forest Game Thread

OK, I’m not made of stone. Despite my earlier pledge, I can’t help myself – I will be watching today, and the next two weeks. We need a win today against an awful opponent, then two road wins against mediocre foes. Then, NC State will be Atlantic Division champions for the first time in the divisional era, with a shot to redeem themselves against a lackluster Virginia Tech squad for their first ACC title since the disco era.

If that happens, I will forgive Tom O’Brien for his idiotic decision to punt against Clemson, although it remains 110% indefensible. There’s no asterisk in the record books for being extremely lucky to have been bailed out by the Holes and Canes last week. Now, for God’s sake, please go out and take care of business. And let’s hope for no more meaningful late game “strategery” opportunities. Because I have a feeling we will end up with the same result.

Wake is lousy. This game will be a laugher. Watch only to see if there’s evidence of a focused Wolfpack squad, with a better killer instinct.

    Even if we squeak by this week (which is not a given), heaven help us next week in Chapel Hill. It may not be pretty.

    Playing like this unc will kill us. We need to score 40 pts to beat them. Shovel pass, draw plays. Stay home D and stop the run! We know what they are doing.

    our D is swiss cheese right now

  7. NCSUPackfan 11/13/2010 at 3:40 PM #

    Can someone answer why we never run anyone in motion on offense?

  8. Statefan1998 11/13/2010 at 3:41 PM #

    If we win, this is it for the season.

    Who scored the TD? ESPN.com says “Russell Wilson pass complete to N/A for 4 yards for a TOUCHDOWN.”

    Wake 4th stringer killing us

  11. Statefan1998 11/13/2010 at 3:42 PM #

  13. NCSUPackfan 11/13/2010 at 3:42 PM #

  14. Statefan1998 11/13/2010 at 3:43 PM #

  16. McPete 11/13/2010 at 3:44 PM #

    call a freaking time out, O Brien! IDIOT!

  17. Statefan1998 11/13/2010 at 3:44 PM #

    “if your nc state why not a timeout”. You answered your own question.

  18. redterror16 11/13/2010 at 3:45 PM #

    Do those idiots know they are on the air?

  19. wvillepack 11/13/2010 at 3:45 PM #

    We needed a time out after wake 2nd first down to settle down the D. We just look like crap again today.

  20. tann84 11/13/2010 at 3:45 PM #

    got to stop them here!!!! 4th down!!!

  21. papackman 11/13/2010 at 3:46 PM #

  22. Statefan1998 11/13/2010 at 3:47 PM #

    Not being gay, but Nate has lost that six pack.

  23. tann84 11/13/2010 at 3:47 PM #

  24. papackman 11/13/2010 at 3:48 PM #
