'24 Recruiting Forum: Official NC State Pregame/Game Thread

Wild to me some of yans were worried about this one. Gonna have to get on board with the fact we have a real dude as HC
I’ll be the first to call myself out. I thought it would be a nail biter like the 98 Syracuse game. I was completely wrong and thankfully I was (I still don’t want to be lumped into the ‘blah, blah, we’re going to lose because of…….but, I hope I’m wrong crowd). I hope everyone can forgive me for my mistake.

All are forgiven. This has been a great night!
 
A few observations:

1)DL is the strength of this team. Holy crap.
2) Jermod McCoy is a PLAYER
3) Sampson is elite, protect him at all costs
4) OL was very good, not great. Allowed rush attack to execute high level
5) Miles Kitselman is much more than a blocking TE
6) We missed Pili more than we knew
7) Nico is more mobile and quick than I thought. Also impressed with composure.
8) We showed we can score without the deep shots
9) Thought the coaching was good tonight
10) Hackstreet and Fowler had to give us our flowers for this win

It’s GREAT to be a Vol today ladies and gents.

Really impressive given that Fowler wasn't there
 
I don’t even think our offense was clicking for most of the night. That’s crazy.
It blows my mind that we have the perception our offense "wasn't clicking"...

We just hung 44 points and 450 on a pretty fundamentally good defense...those guys did not blow coverages, they were not missing tackles, or getting out of position en masse...they were not sloppy at all..they played good disciplined defense and stayed with their gameplan until the bitter end.

And yet we shoved 44 and 450 down their throats...think about that.

I was thinking earlier about this, and I posted the thought in the FT thread earlier...I think our offense really messes with our perceptions.
