NC State (0-0) vs Virginia (0-0) (3:30 PM ET, ESPN)

[TrueOrange]

The only game this weekend with any level of conference race implications.

It’s currently 10-0 at the end of the first quarter.

 

[Boston Vol]

Pleasantly surprised by how good UVA has looked so far.

 

[TrueOrange]

UVA starting to run away with this one. 17-0 to start the 2nd quarter.

 

[VolGirl81]

Pribula looking pretty good

 

[Tin Man]

OK, I hope that FB never has to run that often, but a QB’s ability to run adds a dimension difficult to defend well when the rest of the offense is working.

Pribula looking pretty good

Pribula’s not a bad QB. His issues more come up in games against better/higher ranked opponents, especially ones where his line starts to struggle keeping the pocket clean.

And decision-making in high-pressure, late-game, game-determining situations against good/ranked opponents.

State 5 drives 45 yards

Do you know their kick return total?

 

[WillisWG]

Best field position for State...could use a drive

 

[TrueOrange]

Do you know their kick return total?

83 yards total on two kickoff returns and one punt return.

Best field position for State...could use a drive

They could use a lot of things based on how their last drives have gone.

 

[Tin Man]

83 yards total on two kickoff returns and one punt return.

More than the offense’s total production so far…

 

[JCHateSteve]

That's out.

 

[TrueOrange]

And a fumble inside the UVA 20 by the NC ST QB on a 12 yard run.

Kid’s already thrown a pick, fumbled, and had more than one pass batted down at the line.

 

[TrueOrange]

More than the offense’s total production so far…

Even after that QB 12-yard run and fumble, yep.

Still 5 yards less than their special teams yardage.

 

[WillisWG]

Seems P. Lewis buried on the Cav depth chart

 

[cherokeeeVOL]

I’m a little surprised that Doeren is still NC State’s coach.

 

[Tin Man]

When special teams have more positive yards than the offense… not likely to win an away game at a conference opponent.

 

[volfanhill]

I’m a little surprised that Doeren is still NC State’s coach.

Wasn't his name tossed around during one of our fiasco of a search

It's the ACC

Since 2020, the Wolfpack ranks second in the ACC with 48 overall victories and is tied for second with 30 conference wins.

Yep. I think it was right after Butch got fired.

Oh wow, I thought they were worse than that

 

[rocketskates]

Remember when we were at such a low point that Dave Doeren turned us down? Man, those were some tough times.

 

[WillisWG]

A Cavalier sellout....did he say 1st in 20 years?
