Just so we know...

N.C. State is not a good ball team. At this point we should consider that win a good win, but not one that means we're elite. Doesn't mean we're not...but N.C.State doesn't look anything close to a ranked team.

They was a good team - we breaked them.

 

[Berry4Heisman14]

They’re terrible but we did what we should’ve done against a terrible team

 

[VolTom1]

They was a good team - we breaked them.

No they are complete garbage. I knew it when I watched their spring game, they are really bad, a little worse than I thought, but I knew they sucked. They are Virginia last year type of bad, they almost lost to Virginia last year so this proves my point.

 

[D-Vols]

North Carolina State is losing to Louisiana Tech right now 14 - 6. Not looking good for them being a good team.

 

[DaddyChad]

Maybe. I’m otw to the game so I can’t see it. After week one I would’ve bet Carolina would have lost to Kentucky and not be beating lsu as well but here we are.

 

[Ernie McCracken]

NC st. is a "decent" team just met a better team. No sir that does make us elite or give me delusions of greatness but still a solid road win. To be honest i'm a little scared of today. Not afraid Kent St. will out play us but we come out flat, unenthused, looking ahead, or worse injury's....

With that said "VOLS BY FIDDY" haha.

GBO

Thanks for your expert opinion and trying to bring a negative vibe to our big win. Be sure to get that info to the coaching staff pronto.

We handled them the way we should have

-Qb is still gun shy from that season ending hit last year

Thank for ignoring the truth right before you eyes. Also if people are so fragile they can't handle the truth they shouldn't be playing Football. And Yeah, I'll call the coaching staff tonight and tell them NC State sucks, I'm sure they're still convinced NC State is a top 25 team and can win the ACC.

 

[BradstarVols]

I was thinking the same thing. They are down 17 to 6 to Louisiana tech at the half. Still a good win for Tennessee but to me it's not quite as impressive as I thought (beating a "top 25" team like that).

 

[VolTom1]

We handled them the way we should have

Exactly, and we can improve on things, all of the bad plays we did are fixable. We could have beat them worse than UTC if we played clean football.

 

[StuckInBamaVol]

Win is a win. Dominant win by us. They should refund NC states fans tickets. In fact, it was such a beat down, they should pay them for having to watch that horrible beat down.

 

[TN1111]

Am I hearing this correctly? Sounds like Grayson McCall is either hurt or not playing? Not sure if he was pulled or an injury.

 

[volfan102455]

Way too early in the season to make judgements based on games. We beat NC State like we should have been NC State. That is all that matters.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

These kind of threads are hilarious.

We won by a huge margin whenever they were ranked in the Top 25.

That’s what matters.

 

[VolForLife83]

La Tech must be really good

 

[DaddyChad]

NC State probably recovering from the reality check they received.

You come into the year ranked, thinking maybe you have a chance at the playoffs then you play a legit contender and get the doors blown off. How do you not have some mental hangover from that? I’m sure McCall is still icing his ass from the beating he received as well.

 

[Hulavol]

Any notion of NC State being a “quality win” went out the window in the first quarter of their game against Western. They are worse than bad.

And we are better than good.

You can't watch a spring game and determine anything. Crazy that you knew something that nobody else knew. But, you are absolutely incorrect. They have a veteran Oline, veteran QB, a playmaking WR and a NFL DB. They very well could win the ACC or at the very least finish 2nd behind Miami. Even with McCall knocked out, they will come back and win by DD's today.

Incorrect..They are very far from bad.

 

[Hydro556]

Agreed. They're a terrible team.

Looking a little better now, but I don't feel like that was a legit ranked opponent win.

I think tn is a top 10 team and should be in the playoffs, but time will tell.

 

[aaronvol]

OP here...all I am saying is that it's not a game we can measure our team with as much as we would want to. Likewise...if they played Miami this week and won we would look at our win through a different lens. Everyone chill.

 

[WillisWG]

Smh....darn shame I can't post what I'm thinking
