NC State vs. LA Tech Game Thread

'13 Football Dave Doeren300

Yay, kickoff is minutes away! Need a reason to be positive? TOB has left town. And Skip Holtz is coaching the other team.

I will see you in the comments for late August fun and hilarity. Nobody knows what to expect from either team, so enjoy the ride.

    Thomas is a big boy, geez.

    Looks like we kept the 42 for passing downs, with Buckley as the new Johnson.

    The runs won’t work as well because they know Pete can’t hurt them on a keeper.

    Doesn’t take long to read an x-ray, should hear pretty soon. I’m worried.

    Anybody see DD? Is he at the game? The TV crew sure likes Skip apparently. Great D-stop Pack!!!

    An excellent first quarter…..

    that should establish some ‘confidence’ on both sides of the side of ball.

    that said… I’m sure it’s hot as hell down on the field and we might need to pace this thing a little…. and substitute liberally…

    Mitchell ain’t coming back in (FFS), he does have same beard as the boxing gym guy from The Wire.

    Well, rest him and let Pete work. Hopefully this will be reminiscent of a NFL preseason game.

    They said “very doubtful” and didn’t reveal the x-ray results. I expect the worst.

    “Not likely” Mitchell will return…

    If you can’t beat ’em, roll up on ’em (a la Clowney)

    Nice punt coverage there.

  13. BJD95 08/31/2013 at 1:19 PM #

    This is the best we’ve ever been in the punting game.

  14. DC_wolf 08/31/2013 at 1:19 PM #

    Great special teams coverage! Everyone came to play

  15. packpowerfan 08/31/2013 at 1:20 PM #

    The last time we had a starter knocked out of the opener, he turned into a f***ing star.

  16. patientwuf 08/31/2013 at 1:20 PM #

    Agreed BJ

  17. BJD95 08/31/2013 at 1:20 PM #

    Nice smelling out the screen there.

  18. Wufpacker 08/31/2013 at 1:20 PM #

    Mitchell was bearing decent weight when he left the field. Hopefully it’s just a precaution at this point to crutch him and keep him out.

    I guess we’ll find out eventually.

  19. Fastback68 08/31/2013 at 1:20 PM #

    Come on defense.

  20. eas 08/31/2013 at 1:24 PM #

    What did they do spray the red paint down 5 minutes prior to the game. Maybe we have specially “charged” pants so we can change colors throughout the game.

  21. BJD95 08/31/2013 at 1:26 PM #

    Cheek fits better at FB, IMHO

  22. patientwuf 08/31/2013 at 1:26 PM #

    What a play. Go Cheek!

  23. Rick 08/31/2013 at 1:27 PM #

    Thomas cannot throw the ball.
    Not a good attribute for a QB

  24. BJD95 08/31/2013 at 1:27 PM #

    Thomas has more Harrison Beck in him than I’d like.

  25. BJD95 08/31/2013 at 1:28 PM #

    Beautiful kick from Sade. Give the special teams guy a raise, stat.
