State Takes Carolina To Class, 35-7

'14 Football Big Four Rivals47

Talking Points:

• NC State has now won 6 of the last 8 games over UNC-CHeats. The Wolfpack ends the regular season 7-5 overall and 3-5 in the ACC.

• State’s 388 rushing yards was the most in a single game since 1981 and tied for fourth-most in school history.

• Jacoby Brissett outgained UNC ALL BY HIMSELF with 233 to 207. He had 167 yards rushing and 66 yards passing. He also outscored them, 28-7.

• Heading into today’s game, UNC was 2nd in ACC in points (36.7) and yards (445.2). Today the Tarheels got 7 points courtesy of Ron Cherry and some beneficial officiating on 207 yards of total offense – 86 of the yards coming on the last drive of the game. That late score (1:48 remaining in the game) allowed Carolina to to avoid it’s first shutout in Chapel Hill to NC State since 1960. NC State shutout UNC in Raleigh just three years ago, 13-0.

• Here is something I did not know until reading this: The Pack was without the services of two mainstays on the offensive line for most of the game. Alex Barr missed his second straight game, he started the first eight games of the season. In the second quarter, starting center Quinton Schooley went down and did not return. When Schooley went out, starting right guard Tony Adams shifted to center, and senior Andy Jomantas took over at right guard.

• NC State went 11 games before having a player record a 100-yard rushing game, Shadrach Thornton did so last game vs. Wake Forest. Today, the Pack had a pair of players go over 100 yards rushing in the FIRST HALF. QB Jacoby Brissett had 115 yards, and RB Shadrach Thornton had 106 yards at the break – each also had a rushing TD in the opening half. The Pack outrushed UNC 239-31 in the first half.

• Reaching the Century Mark Part 2: With Brissett (167) and Thornton (161) both going over 100 yards rushing in the game, it marked the first time a pair of Wolfpack teammates both crossed the century mark on the ground since 1994 vs. Maryland.

• This win is HUGE for NC State’s program on a lot of fronts…one of which is the impact that it has on State’s bowl destination this season. Don’t look now, but there is a VERY GOOD chance that NC State could now leap all the way to the Belk Bowl where the Pack would probably play Tennessee if the Vols beat Vanderbilt as expected today. Notre Dame’s presence and a few other things could throw a little wrench into this…so stay tuned for more.

• Interesting note: After the victory, NC State’s players celebrated in the locker room by reciting part of Rudyard Kipling’s poem “The Law For The Wolves.”  Compare and contrast that t0 UNC’s celebration at Duke two Thursdays ago, where UNC’s players reportedly vandalized Duke’s visiting locker room and its practice field to the tune of somewhere between $10,000 – $25,000 of damage.  If that doesn’t clearly display the difference between the levels of class between the two programs, I’m not sure what does.  (Other than UNC’s protracted multimillion dollar effort to avoid taking any responsibility for the multiple decades of academic fraud.)

For the the Strength of Pack is the Wolf and the Strength of the Wolf is the Pack! #BeatUNC

Carolina played super hard after the clock hit zero as dozens of Tarheels rushed the center of Kenan Stadium to protect their cherished logo that stands for cheating and the infamous “Carolina Way” since that is the only kind of behavior that they know. Our own radio guys noticed. The following are from the comments section:

HAHAHAHAHA Gary and Johnny are ripping the Cheats to shreds on the postgame radio

As I turned it on:

Johnny: “Some of the Cheats players ran to the mid-field logo to ‘protect their turf’ after what happened last season. Well, the time to protect your turf was during the game.”

Gary: And as is tradition, the Cheats immediately turn off the scoreboard after a loss so no one can take a picture.”

ZING!

Way to go radio guys!

Do you think this means something to our former players?

And what about future Wolfpackers?

…keep checking…we’ll have much more

    Great gameplan. Great execution. Hope staff and players enjoy it. Damn impressive. Jones called out Williams and then he walked the walk.

    Nice call cowdog.

    DD really sticking the knife in during the postgame presser!

    Be sure to listen to his opening comments when you get a chance

    What a beat down! Congrats Pack!!!

    The game thread was worthless for me today. Can’t get on for some reason.

    Don’t look now but the ACC is destroying the SEC today. Clemson easily beats USC. Tech over Georgia. And Lville over Kentucky.

    The headline should be: “State Takes Carolina to Class 35-7.”

    Those guys really are a classless lot. Wonder who they’re going to blame for the loss: either we cheated (which would be utterly hilarious coming from them) or the refs cheated them, or one of their players blew it.

    Gators are looking stout and will give it all for the departing Muschamp. Actually pulling for them as my hatred for FSU has reached a new level. Outside of UNC they are the smug of the league. No class.

    And it was abolutely GREAT seeing Dabo take it to the smug Spurrier. 6 losses for Spurrier. That can’t (and won’t last).

    I truly can’t do it justice, but:

    – Talked about the type of people that make up N.C. State University, lauded the argiculture and engineering … that’s who ‘WE’ are, etc. Not very thinly veiled shots at the differences between the schools and people

    – called our fans the best, and lauded how much ‘class’ we have; told a story about a run-in with a classless Hole fan

    – talked about being the best in the state, said that what Hakim Jones said during the week (M. Williams being soft) was what they were all saying, staff included; glad the media didn’t pick State and asked them to do again next season; said that everybody in the Wolfpack locker room knew this domination was coming

    – said it was ‘our year to talk and enjoy, and we’re gonna do that’

    … among other things. It was fan service no doubt, but it was awesome! He burned them repeatedly.

    UNC is hated by most everyone because they do not know how to lose. Protecting their emblem at midfield and turning off the scoreboard is just a complete classless act.

    I remember the Dick Sheridan butt kicking game at unc where the stands was all red at the end. This was another one.

    Love coach asking the media at the post game if he can tell a story. What a story he told. Walks in stores in Raleigh and only see carolina gear for sale. Does anyone on hear think TOB would have stated this? NO!!
    The class statement he made at the Dry cleaners was a fist pumper for me.

    I hope someone somewhere posts a picture of the scoreboard. It’s the least we can do for them.

    I’d love to hear what Red Bull had to say too. I wonder if he has it in him to be humble.

    Bring on Duke or ECU. You can’t be scared as this is football. This team has grown-up and even if they got their asses handed to them by Duke or ECU if they played them (which I doubt would happen) you want your coach have no fear. Plus DD did say by the way our schedule was.

    Somebody w/ Twitter or whatever should tweet at Espn College Gameday Final about Brissett’s rushing performance + 3 TD throws for a potential “helmet sticker” from Reece D., Mark May, or Lou Holtz.

    He may not get one, but it’d be nice for him/our team to get a shoutout to signal-boost this score 🙂

    Red Bull w/ ho-hum postgame presser. Gave credit to us, said he didn’t have answers for their performance. Nondescript, really.
