NC State vs Western Carolina Thursday at 7PM

[Sea Ray]

I am not worried about NC state at all now. Having said that I hope they make a comeback and destroy NCS. Because we need them to be ranked

That's what I'm thinking. We need them to be good to bolster our OOC schedule. If they suck then our entire OOC schedule sucks

 

[Fred_Jones]

They have had quite a few unforced errors tonight no doubt they will play better against us.

Most of those errors are from awful line play. That ain't a week to week fix.

It won’t matter. Just have to win.

Point taken but there have been a few inaccurate passes with little pressure.

 

[Brave Volunteer]

Flipping through all the games I have to say, North Carolina has a damn pretty uniform!

Especially with a 12 team playoff. The OOC schedule matters less.

[Clad in Big Orange]

#10 is their best player

 

[Voltrapnbama]

I kinda feel like that was a go for it moment. Get it and go score and you’re in the game. Give up a score here and you’re done.

 

[Vfl2407]

Should we be more concerned about Arkansas than NCSU? Hog offense incredible tonight.

 

[tenascvol]

Their whole offense revolves around #10. Double him up and you take away 90% of their offense.

McCall was a great fit in Jamie Chadwell’s offense at Coastal. I watched him for 3 years (daughter goes there). He is not a power 5 caliber quarterback. He is a gamer but injury prone as he likes to run. I suspect they are trying to save his legs for us. He is not known for arm strength but does make plays. I’m sure Banks will be ready.
With that being said, Vols by fiddy…

It's Arkansas Pine Bluff. Almost a DII team.

NC State message boards if they pull pull this one out..............
1) Well you always make the most improvement between your 1st and 2nd game
2) We didn't want to show Tennessee anything so we kept it "Vanilla" on purpose
blah, blah, blah......

 

[TheVolunteer002]

Feels like they're about to pull away. Either way, I'm sure our coaches were taking notes tonight. They have glaring weaknesses.

And the second one is straight BS because they've had to bust out trick plays, misdirections, etc. to get to this point.

Blitz and McCall will hang meatballs up in the air trying to throw it 39 yards across the field. INT season.

 

[Go Fight Win]

Perfect scenario for us

See yall in charlotte

And WCU is averaging 6.5 yards per carry. Both of NCSU lines have been getting pushed around. That's not keeping it vanilla

Let them keep believing, from what I see, we'll beat NCSt like a rented mule!!

I'm a little excited to watch Pearce make McCall want to opt out the rest of the season.

Yep. There are a number of high school teams better than UAPB.

I mean, they almost lost to UCONN in the opener last year and still went 9-3 on the regular season.

Similarly, they just got by being upset by ECU in 2022 and made it to 7-5 or so on the regular season.

It’s not an abnormal start for them…nor with the rest of their schedule (games including LA Tech, NIU, Wake Forest, Syracuse, Cal, Stanford, Duke, Georgia Tech, UNC) would their normal 7-9 wins be out of the question if they win tonight.

 

[Mccage]

Back to the game… that called drop look like a catch to me
