    Glennon’s numbers are impressive.

    I miss the days when all we had to do was score more than 23 points and we win.

    Seems it’s feast or famin around here.

    Glennon’s numbers are impressive considering it’s his first season starting. In fact, they’re not bad even for one who is a returning starter. I think our future at QB looks pretty good. I realize that his PT has been limited. But I’ve been impressed with what I’ve seen of Tyler Brosius, too.

    Ah – you remember the “rule of 24”, huh, primacy? 🙂

    RE: NC State’s stats…

    Wah wah waaaaaah.

    RE: Glennon’s Numbers…

    This kid is the real deal and I feel really terrible that we aren’t able to take advantage of him more this season (poor O-line, defense that doesn’t make the effort worth it). Think about it, out of 100-and-some odd D1A football programs, Glennon as a first-season QB is 28th in the country. Sure does suck that we’ll only see him around one more year.

    RE: Brosius…

    ~62% with 1TD throw in 13 attempts? Really not bad at all. I actually feel really good about NC State under-center for the next few years. A refreshing change of pace after the Davis-Stone-Evans-Beck years.

    Wow…4 responses. The excitement surrounding our football program is off-the-charts. Sigh….

    I’m going to remain optimistic, although it’s getting tougher each week.

    The stats should see a nice bump this weekend.

  7. 61Packer 10/05/2011 at 4:06 PM #

    The last MAC team we faced was here in 2006, when Akron beat us with a diving touchdown on the game’s final play. That Zips team went on to finish 5-7 overall; we finished 3-9.

    I think every game we play this season, as long as this team plays the way it has so far, will be in doubt, especially the road games.

  8. john of sparta 10/05/2011 at 5:35 PM #

    Ed…we’re up 13%.

    Glennon is good enough to get the job done, in fact he’s very good. But when TOB made the decision to keep Archer as DC, that nullified Glennons effectiveness. Leading the team to 35 pts. in a game does jack-squat whan the defense gives up 45.

    I know this was touched on a few comments ago, but I don’t know what else to say. It’s just so obvious and frustrating to me. I wish it was to TOB. You know……..so he would have at least tried someone new for this year to coach the D into a better unit.

    When all the injured players come back, if thier absence really has made the D suck this bad and it’s not coaching as I suspect then I will gladly eat crow and apologize.

  10. Ashman87 10/05/2011 at 9:51 PM #

    Good thing Sweezy’s going to be playing at mostly full strenght. That will really help the defense. (Also, good thing we have a bye next week. we REALLY need it.)

  11. wolfpacker 10/05/2011 at 10:44 PM #

    I guess everyone has finally realized that what has been discussed here for years was actually the TRUTH! Archer IS NOT ANY GOOD and TOB doesn’t care about our football program, that’s why he hired him. He’s here to RETIRE. TOB brought his friend from 20 years ago on as a coach.

    They doctored up his wiki profile with a unx style spin to make him look like a winner. They did the exact same thing on gopack, everyone bought the lies hook, line, and sinker (except of course those that did their own homework) and now that people actually SEE the truth, it’s kinda quiet around here.

    Don’t shoot the messenger, we tried to warn you a LONG time ago.

    Hopefully we will win this weekend.

    Guys, stats are misleading. Not saying Glennon is horrible, but how many scoring drives has he led in 1st half of games? No mobility whatsoever, & only looks at 1st option then checks off to RB, see Washington & his 8.3 avg yds per catch. TOB sealed his fate when he told RW thanks for the memories. Hopefully next coach will bring in a more exciting running game(something crazy like a pitch out once in a while). Too bad Fowler wasn’t fired same time Amato was or we could have Paul Johnson coaching here now. Don’t know who next coach will be but it will surely have to be an upgrade, after 5 yrs, 83rd in OFF & 88 in DEF & that is before the toughest part of the schedule.

  13. JSRy2k 10/05/2011 at 11:29 PM #

    61Packer, you beat me to it. Like the Akron game in Amato’s final season, it’s possible that this game could be very telling.

    The O-Line and the entire defense make me want to cry.
