Here are a few random thoughts from around the ACC: WHERE DO YOU DRAW THE LINE? Usually I mentally divide the conference into three sections…the elite, the bottom dwellers, and the great mess in the middle. Thru last Saturday, it is pretty hard to figure out where to draw either line: BC looked to be […]
Quick Look at Miami
Here’s a quick list of things that I will be watching for in the Miami game. This doesn’t qualify as a full-blown preview, but should help flesh out the numbers presented earlier. Feel free to add any observations you have about Miami in the comments section. WHICH QUARTERBACK? Kyle Wright twisted his ankle in the […]
Live Blogging UVa Game
Hopefully BJD found his daughter something to eat after leaving the Red/White game. I’ll try and fill in for him here. 8:12 – Where’s Dandy Don Meredith when you need a soloist? Turn out the lights this party is over. 8:10 – 3rd and long….pass incomplete. One more play and it’s over with. 8:08 – […]
Quick Look Ahead
Now that the ol’ State fans’ optimism is running high after beating the Pirates, let’s take a quick look at where State stands and what we have to look forward to over the last half of the season. State’s current national and conference ranking in the major statistical categories. National Conf […]
2007 Football Roster
I want this entry to be treated a little differently than our normal blog entries. I have cross-referenced the roster from gopack.com to the recruting classes listed on scout.com to separate the gopack roster into scholarship and walk-on athletes. I then further divided the scholarship athletes into position and class. I’m pretty good with EXCEL […]
Post-Game: FSU 27 NC State 10 (Video Highlights)
Well I was wrong…FSU wasn’t concerned enough with State to modify their offense at all. The bright points were few….but there were a few nice surprises. – Jamelle Eugene: 14 carries for 101 yards against the nation’s 10th best rushing defense (which is only good enough for third place in the conference). – The State […]
FSU Preview
As most of you know by now, the writers here at SFN are neither bashful nor delusionally optimistic. So in keeping with those themes, here are the things that I expect to see this weekend from FSU. FSU OVERALL STRATEGY Here are a few of the starting assumptions that I would use if I were […]
Columnist says Oklahoma State coach attacked her credibility
A columnist for the largest newspaper in Oklahoma wrote Tuesday that Oklahoma State football coach Mike Gundy “attacked my credibility” during a post-game tirade three days earlier. You think? Yahoo Story I doubt that we will keep up with the “relationship” between these two. However, I wouldn’t be at all surprised if Mike Gundy and […]
Tackling
There have been a number of comments made in the various threads here about State’s tackling or the lack thereof. Since I’m currently in exile in Northern Ontario, I haven’t seen the last two ball games (though the evidence suggests that I haven’t missed anything worth remembering). No one lists missed tackles in official stats, […]
So What Else Have You Been Watching?
There are plenty of threads around where we’ve dissected State’s weaknesses, but what other teams have you watched and what has surprised you about the games that you have watched? In no particular order, here’s what caught my eye: Virginia Tech When VT’s first offensive play from scrimmage against ECU was a play-action pass, you […]
