This is getting very interesting. If you thought that going to Pitt had the possibilities of being a trap game, and that it was a game that lesser Pack teams might have tripped upon, well, you swung and missed this time,but then consider that despite a week off next week, we still have to shuffle off to South Bend and play traitor Lou Holtz’s self anointed God’s team. Piss on em. And then, if we pull off another stunning upset there, then we have to return home and face a team that was ranked #2 in the nation until they lost to a team last night that we had already vanquished . Keeping it all together against Wake and BC will be hard if we win our next two games.. Disclaimer: if we win out until the Holes, and then lose, it will be the worst of seasons..May those cheating bastards that pay enough lawyers to evade the intent of the law have buzzards savor their intestines and their testicles for dessert.. The whole world knows..
a couple of thoughts: 1. you gotta question Narduzzi pulling his paison DiNucci for Pickett.. Seems, in retrospect, a self-inflicted wound. 2. A number of Pack teams from the past would not have got their bow up (especially on defense) in the second half against a conference team on the road. that’s a good sign that the seniors on defense ain’t quitting. Go Pack!
Very solid third quarter for the defense, especially. Got to keep the tempo up on offense and throw on first just a bit more often.
Great field position both times in second half, but only one first down. Not a fan of the play calling either time. At least the defense picked it up a bit.
There was no OPI. Total BS. We better wake up and realize that Pitt ain’t about to roll over. Motivation time. A potentially great season is slipping away if we don’t pick it up on both sides of the ball.
We look top 24 or better, so far…i just rubbed my favorite Wolfpack talisman…pretty sure we got his now…
POP! SQUARED! We are standing at the precipice of becoming that which we wish to be. We must seize the moment and take the next step!
Moonlight and magnolias
Victory in the air
All the world’s a dream come true.Chop is right about keeping our LBs off the island, imo. Syracuse got Germaine Pratt out there on the island for a big play on the wheel route last week. Can’t let Jackson run wild. We got this..Big game for JaySam and Finley. Time for the secondary to step up and for the entire defense to tackle, tackle and tackle some more.
Indeed, CD. It qualifies as a good win. They all do, anymore. 50 years from now, when we are dead and gone, few people will discuss the coaching strategy in the 2017 N.C. State game vs, Syracuse. Pooch kicks won’t enter into the conversation. Only the score will matter. Yeah, so like any win, it’s a good win. Enjoy.
I don’t care for the risk vs return (no pun intended) of pooch kicking the ball to any player, OL or not. Kick the ball out of the end zone. Don’t take the risk of giving them the ball at damn near midfield.. It is not worth it, and it was odd, given the offensive conservative third quarter mindset of our team. I’ll take the odds of a miss hit on an attempt to kick it out of the end zone before I’ll take a miss hit on a poochy kick..
After this game and the USC, and perhaps the FSU game, I’m scratching my head as to why it takes us an entire third quarter to react to their halftime changes defensively. Are we slow to adjust offensively, or do we just go conservative and try to sit on a lead? We abandon the skullduggery etc and try to shove the running game down their throats to the point of self destruction – almost. At times we appear timid to throw the ball, in our own territory, seemingly worrying that our QB might throw an INT despite the fact that he’s thrown, what? 250 passes without an INT? Dance with who you came with. Keep them off balance. Go for the throat. A boot on their faces…forever! What do I know?
POP!
POP!Pack wins 33-25 despite playing like crud in the second half..Pack lost the second half 18-7.
someone school me please..I wasn’t at the game and no one said anything about the wind.. Why, after Bambard kicked the ball through the endzone numerous times in the first half did we resort to the pooch kickoff a couple of times in the second half? We gave them the ball at their 45 on the last one. What the heck was the reasoning? Was the wind strong enough to keep Bambard’s kicks out of the endzone or are we insecure about our special teams coverage on kickoffs after USC?
