I agree. And I do think that UT's win was more impressive than Clemson's. Of course, I have my biases, but IMHO Clemson and NC State are in the same tier right now (see our 37-13 blowout against them last season). From an ACC perspective, Clemson is almost always overrated. Sure, people...

Sorry if I'm hijacking this thread, but I can't start new threads yet. I've already provided my analysis of the game, but I really wanted to say something about the Vols fans in the Georgia Dome last Friday... First of all, I am very proud of NC State's football fan base. We can only cram...

If it's any consolation, a lot of our fans are acting like our season is over because we lost the season opener to Tennessee. :loco: Happens every time we get our first loss. Really annoying.

Congrats on the win DJ. Enjoyed rubbing elbows here leading up to the game. Hope State ended up being a little better than you expected, minus the whole Amerson thing.

Hmm, simple yet tough question. Based on one game, I'd say about 7.5, and that's high on my scale. Keep in mind, I think our defense play below their capability, so it's hard to gauge just how good the passing attack really is. For comparison, based on tonight's performance, I would...

I actually don't know many of our fans who thought State would win easily. I knew it would be a tough game, and we obviously didn't play well enough to win it. If you're wondering about a somewhat silent board at PackPride, I don't think it has anything to do with this game. Usually we...

I'll take that as a compliment, though I'm not sure it was intended as one, lol. Agree with pretty much all of that. Amerson is a good player, but as many had pointed out before the game, he's not a shutdown corner. More of a ballhawk in zone coverages. With that said though, please don't...

Don't worry about the negavols. I know our D looked foolish on a couple plays, but y'all beat a solid team tonight, I promise you that. You could see what Glennon was able to do early on when he had time to stand in the pocket and throw. But once you guys made some adjustments and brought all...

First off, congrats on the win tonight VolNation! Your guys looked pretty good...sorry that our defense completely laid an egg in this one. Just so you have some history on my posts here: I originally picked 34-27 UT, but then changed to 24-21 State after the DR news. I thought it...

Good luck Vols fans! Tonight is like Christmas Eve.

Can't speak for Packademic, but I don't think our play-calling is all that bad. Maybe a tad conservative sometimes, but not to a fault IMO. Anyways, I would guess that almost every fan base out there has complaints about their team's play-calling.

1) We have a ton of depth on the D-line, and basically our entire secondary is returning from last year. 2) You will find out who Tobias Palmer and Mario Carter are on Friday... 3) I don't know of ANY of our running backs that are hurt right now. So, I'm not sure where you're getting that...

Wow, no. You are wrong on so many levels. :stop: First, he didn't get "dumped" as I previously explained. And even with Wilson last year, we wouldn't have won the ACC. Our defense was horrible, especially early on in the season. I'll remind you that at one point we had 5 of our top DLs...

Almost all the articles I've seen have NC State picked 3rd in their division. Quite a few outlets do have them mentioned as a sleeper or dark horse though.

A lot of help RW would do our team this year while he's in the NFL...brilliant. Had RW stayed, Glennon would have transferred, and we would likely be starting a true freshman against your Vols Friday night. RW chose not to come back for football season, because he wanted to play baseball...
