Lots to work on from today. Really need the UT game to make it a good trip
Dude, we beat #2 Arizona and lost a close game less than 24 hours later to UNI, a similar quality team to our team (State is #89 in KenPom, UNI is #98). IMO it is a great trip regardless of outcome against UT. The experience (travel, neutral floor, nationally televised games, back to back to back games) should prove to be extremely valuable for a team with many new players in a new system.
That said, UT is a really good team – ranked #36 in KenPom rankings. To defeat them would be huge.
Braxton Beverly looks like the guy we all hoped Tyler Lewis would be. He definitely reminds me of Corch.
Don’t recall how many years it has been since I have seen the Pack with such excellent movement without the ball and movement of the ball on offense.
Great first half for State.
Al Freeman is 3/10. The rest of the team is 11/20. Against a quality defense.
Al Freeman is 0/3 on 3 pointers. The rest of the team is 5/9.
Al Freeman did not earn any free throws. The rest of the team earned 10 and made 7.Not bagging on Freeman, who has looked good. More an observation of how good the rest of the team has looked so far against a quality opponent.
Long way to go.
At Backing the Pack, there is a good/bad/ugly thread after every game. The ugly was the fact that there was no camera angle down the goal line. Have to agree, that is just ridiculous for a Power 5 conference game.
I just Googled some mock drafts:
1 round mock draft with Chubb #1 and Finley #21
3 round mock draft with Chubb #4 and Samuels #84
4 round mock draft with Chubb #4, Finley #39, and Samuels #94I’ll say it again just like I said after the ND game: Finley’s not an NFL quarterback. Hopefully Tau837 has taken notice since then and can now fully admit his NFL stock is nose diving.
Yesterday Finley:
– Led the offense to 502 yards
– Passed for 327 yards and 1 TD, and IMO should have had a second TD on the Emezie fumble
– Put the ball on Harmon’s hands 3 times for 50+ more yards where Harmon failed to make the catch
– Put the ball on Hines for 30+ more yards leading Wake to commit DPI
– Ran for 35 yards, including at least 4 first downsNo, he didn’t hurt his NFL stock yesterday. In fact, see the corner route where he put the ball right on Harmon at the pylon. See the (first) TD to Emezie. See the out route to Meyers that was reviewed. Those are impressive NFL throws.
I have never felt Finley merited consideration as a first round QB. I assume he will get drafted, but after the first round, probably in the middle rounds if he enters the next draft. If he comes back next season, I could see him possibly moving himself higher.
To suggest he has hurt his NFL stock in this or any previous loss suggests that he had high NFL draft stock to begin with. I disagree with that, so I disagree that he has hurt his stock.
Pretty sure that’s similar to what I said the last time you brought it up.
I also said last time that the guy who hurt his stock was Samuels, and the same is true for this game. Once again, Hines went out early with an injury, and once again Samuels did not raise his level of play to compensate. IMO Samuels is going to have to play RB in the NFL, and he has not impressed in that role this season.
Looked like it was across the plane but no angle right down the goal line to prove it. Why don’t they have a camera angle straight down the goal line?!?
Another no score 3rd quarter for the Pack.
State outscored Wake 7-3 in the 3rd quarter.
Some of y’all are too anxious to call the game to Wake. Relax. There is still 19 minutes left in a 3 point game.
And by you guys I mean TheAliasTroll. Give it a rest, man.
Sorry, it’s senior day, dude. It’s a huge distraction for me. You know the old saying about how senior day is a distraction for teams, right? It’s distracting.
A lot of posters on this forum may think Troll stands for Tool. Why keep posting about this stupid issue and remove all doubt?
Ah, so you are a classy tool. Nice.
