NC State any good?

[temptn]

I am going to assume we beat Chattanooga and jump right to NC State? Should we be worried? What's their strengths? What's their weaknesses?

 

[vols 30]

I've seen a couple of preseason rankings have NC State ranked in the top 25. Isn't their projected starter at QB a transfer?

It's a team I wouldn't take lightly. I'm sure we won't.

Will be the first real test for our young secondary. Heup will have en dialed in

The three games that scare me are NCST, Oklahoma, and Florida

BVS.

BVS.

Yeah it’s not like Florida wins even when they shouldn’t….

They typically underachieve early on under Dave Doeren. They always scrape by against an ECU or someone similar. Last year they beat UCONN by 10 and UVA by 3. Obviously that’s last year, but they’re not built to play a fast paced team like us. Doeren is basically Mark Stoops 2.0, but they play in weaker conference so they can get to 8-9 wins consistently. If we get up early and control tempo we can potentially run away with the game .

 

[TAF]

They're BIG scary...

 

[BDP!]

Dave Doeren is a good football coach. He will have NC St ready to play. I believe we will win but it will not be a cakewalk.

[Brave Volunteer]

We should win but they're certainly not a team we can sleep walk through. Huepel will need to have our boys ready to play!

The Big Orange by 18.........31-13

This photo is really all you need to know about that game.

Indeed. UF is a loss until it ain't. We need the NC St game badly if we're going to get to 8 regular season wins next year.

 

[BlinghamptonVol]

I'm going 45-17. It's never close.

NCSU did a great job in the portal this year. They got a proven good QB in Grayson McCall, a good running back Jordan Waters, and TE Justin Joly. Joly played for UConn last year and did very well against UT.

I think this will be a close game. Probably good to play them early in the season before all these new players are working well as a team.

Overall, I think UT has the better players and should win this game. (but that was true of USCe a couple year ago).

 

[BoroVol93]

Good team I expect them to play hard but I think our DL will control a lot of games this year and I think Nico’s legs take our offense back to that 2022 level efficiency… he’s had a year and 2 off season to learn the system now he is about to light it up…

 

[VOLINVONORE]

It will be the first real test for our young VOLs They will have good offense and can not be overlooked. However, I believe out defense will be able to control the game and I think our offense will be better than last year. We do play them in North Carolina and thy will have lots of van there, but so will we. Vols cover the spread.

 

[WoodsmanVol]

Well, I already a while back posted my dog's and cracked crystal ball's season predictions.
They said it's not going to be the sleepwalk many Vols fans think. We come out ahead 28 -12, said they.
Nico may get his butt waxed, but the running game will grind and chew NCST's defense into gradual submission.
I trust the dog and the glass.

Indeed. UF is a loss until it ain't. We need the NC St game badly if we're going to get to 8 regular season wins next year.

Wow. Only 8 wins?

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

From a recent ESPN article.

 

[CAVPUT]

Wow. Only 8 wins?

With that schedule, I think that would be about right and pretty solid.

 

[Volatile68]

With that schedule, I think that would be about right and pretty solid.

I got 10 wins. Losses to Ga and maybe OK.

 

[BigBadVol]

I want TN to stomp Oklahoma but would take a 1 point squeaker. That game is the most important of the season IMO for the confidence needed to beat either GA or AL.
