Before we get going, you need to know that the lead picture above^ was called a jump ball and not a foul. This kind of smothering defense and officiating helped create 23 turnovers for the Pack — basically turning the ball over 1 out of every 3 possessions. Similarly, I think the following […]
Did you know that exactly 10 years ago, the North Carolina State Wolfpack had the best defense in entire country? With coordinator Reggie Herring and defense that included a player that made an NFL roster AT EVERY POSITION, the Wolfpack dominated opponents and held them to less yards than any other team in the country. […]
I think yesterday’s Wolfpack effort against the Miami Hurricanes was hilariously (and sadly accurately) summed up by the @Lee_Folwer Twitter account: well, state could have saved us all a bunch of trouble today by just going ahead and buying a postage stamp. — Coach L Folwer (@Lee_Folwer) March 1, 2014 In hindsight, yesterday’s home […]
There has been a good bit of discussion on our message boards concerning Defensive Coordinator Mike Archer and his performance at NC State. After hearing about the recent rumors that Jon Tenuta, current LB coach, is heading to accept a position at Illinois, I got to digging deeper into NC State’s defensive statistics. My question […]
WRAL: A defense, which was thought to be the strength of the team, is allowing more than 400 yards per game. That includes last week’s 34-27 loss at Wake Forest in which the Wolfpack (1-1) allowed 438 total yards and gave up two scoring passes of at least 30 yards. The prevailing preseason opinion was […]
SFN Note: Talk about expanded coverage!! You can probably tell that our author team has been very busy by hitting the site with SIX new entries in just over the last 24 hours!! Please support SFN by not ignoring all of the hard work and taking a few extra minutes to read more than just […]
I wouldn’t go anywhere close to saying that most State fans only care about beating Carolina, but there is no doubt that today’s game against the Tarheels provides Wolfpacknation a golden opportunity to end this miserable season with a much better taste in our mouth than we have experienced since September. The ‘Observers’ had a […]
Photo Courtesy of photo1nc on SFN Flickr stream Tom O’Brien is nothing if not steady, apparently to a fault sometimes.  During his entire tenure at NC State, he has blamed his players for failing to execute – even in a win – and stood by his coaches. Thursday, he was back at it: “Mike’s been […]
Our new forums (and even our new Twitter activity) have become fantastic places to share a higher volume of information and items from the internet that we can’t necessarily find the opportunity to share on the front page of the blog. But, this morning we ran across a few items that deserve front page billing. […]
I’m still licking wounds and dealing with depression from Thursday and I just want to turn my attention forward. So, we are NOT going to re-hash all of the post-mortems from Thursday night. The Wolfpack should have no problem heading into the Pitt game on September 26th with a little rust worked off the machine […]
