– NC State vs. Wake Forest. Has any rivalry this old ever been so friendly? Outside of that time Chris Paul punched Hodge in the nuts, I don’t remember much bad blood (and even that never spread to the fans, as every Deacon fan I knew was aghast and apologetic). – Hidden yardage will be […]
Russell Wilson
Wilson Stakes Claim; Wake up this weekend
A lot has been (deservedly) made of the fantastic play of NC State’s red shirt freshman quarterback, Russell Wilson. Wilson has performed better than almost anyone could have dreamed this season and has therefore promised to make the quarterback competition with freshman Mike Glennon interesting to watch in the future. (What a nice ‘problem’ to […]
O’Brien Expects Russell Wilson To Keep Playing Two Sports
This is hardly a surprise to most of us: Russell Wilson will keep playing both baseball and football for NC State for the foreseeable future. WRAL: O’Brien expects Wilson to keep playing two sports “I would expect that [playing both sports], yes. I think that’s what he wants to do. He certainly can help our […]
Russell Wilson to start for the Pack
I hate to post this entry as I think the two entries just below this are very important and deserve your attention and feedback. I don’t know many people who really weren’t expecting this news to be released today, but it is welcome news nonetheless – Russell Wilson will start for the Wolfpack on Saturday. […]
TOB – No Clarification on Pack Injuries
Per the N&O writeup, Beck is still listed as the starter for Saturday: “We don’t know [Wilson’s status],” coach Tom O’Brien said during his weekly news conference Monday. “We’ll have to wait and see. Right now Beck is the starter, and we’re going into the week with him preparing to play.” My biggest fear was […]
Complete Meltdown for USF (No Wilson, No Irving)
Here’s the link – I have very little to say except are you f-ing kidding me? Wilson, who threw three touchdown passes against the Pirates, suffered an undisclosed injury in the second half of the game but continued to play. He was evaluated on Sunday and O’Brien made the decision then to hold him out […]
NCSU ends BS of ECU in BCS w/ W in OT
Pack wins in OT by a score of 30-24. Joe Giglio of the N&O’s ACCNow did a masterful job of gradually adjusting his entries during the game to be the first with a comprehensive blog entry that can be seen here. Andre Brown’s 10-yard touchdown run in overtime capped the Wolfpack’s comeback and charged life […]
Key Stat of the Day
Number of bad decisions by Russell Wilson – zero.
TOB nailed the QB situation perfectly
Less than an hour after Harrison Beck led NC State to a win over William & Mary NC State Head Coach Tom O’Brien made it clear that Russell Wilson will start under center for tomorrow’s game against Clemson. BJD ran a fantastic analysis of this last weekend. Although few people explicitly criticized Coach O’Brien’s decision, […]
Russell Wilson Will Start at Clemson
My reaction is somewhat mixed. It seems clear from the N&O’s writeup of Tom O’Brien’s comments that the coach and I saw Beck’s performance similarly. Beck was light years better than a shellshocked Daniel Evans (last night was his worst performance in a Wolfpack uniform – and that’s really saying something). However, Beck continues to […]
