    Glennon with a higher QB rating than RW during his best season? You don’t say.

  2. primacyone 10/26/2011 at 3:45 PM #

    ^And that’s including all the dropped passess. He’d probably be up in the 160’s otherwise.

    Numbers are better. Used to be the offensive law of 24 in which all we had to do was score 24 and we win as our defense would hold, now it’s completely reversed and just need to hold teams to less than 24 points.

    Why can’t we ever have a good O and a good D at the same time?

    primacy: Because ‘We are NC State’.

    And because Archer will never leave……or be let go.

    Glennon has turned out to be as good as expected.

    Surprising here:
    Punt Returns – 1, 5
    Turnover Margin Per Game – 1, 7

    Rushing Yards: 115.9 (ACC Rank: 9, Nat’l Rank: 99)
    Total Offense: 370.6 (10, 80)

    Didn’t see yards penalized…^ would be interesting to know

    What is Glennon’s ranking re: touchdowns thrown?

    Any chance Debbs will force Archer out, herself?
