This is another classic.........Also, the ACC gets more guys into the NFL than any other conf. Especially WRs and QBs. The SEC has defense and athletism, not QBs.

that one might set the bar

the QB comment is my favorite - apparently he forgot about peyton manning, eli manning, Stafford, Cam Newton, Jay Cutler, Matt Flynn, Tannehill*, Gabbert*

The ACC has Ponder, Vick, Schaub, Ryan, Rivers

come on playa

They don't have to "shut down" anything to win. And again, the practice field isn't the same as playing a marquee opening game against a top-25 team on a neutral site. I do predict UT to win, just surprised everyone thinks it'll be a cakewalk...

Who exactly in this match up is in the top 25?

Look at the rosters. Look at the competiton played last year. Look at who was lost.

Then do the math. If Dooley can coach then this game should be no closer than 2 TD's. I am not sure that NCSU saw more than a couple of WR's in 13 games last year as talented as Hunter and Rogers... and NEVER two of that caliber on one team. This year they get them plus CP who may well be in their class also.

There are always stats inside the stats but here's one interesting tidbit. We thought of our secondary as mediocre as best last fall. State fans believe theirs to be a returning strength. No opponent went over 300 yds passing vs UT last year. Wake, FSU, and Clemson went over 300 vs State... Liberty had 295.

Avg ypg- UT=177, NCSU=224
Avg QB rating- UT=125, NCSU=118
Completion %= Both 58%
YPC- UT= 12.0, NCSU=12.4
YPA- UT=6.95, NCSU=7.14

I post all that just to point back to perhaps the most significant factor to consider when looking at this game... what passes for a team strength in the ACC makes you bottom 3rd in the SEC.

The SEC has been the best conference for several years running now and not just at the top. In some years, the BCS championship opponents have looked less competitive than UK or Vandy. A bottom third SEC team is a mid-tier team in the B12, B10, or Pac12... They're a championship contender in the ACC or Big East.

That isn't a dismissal of the history or futures of any of those conferences. It is simply the lay of the land as it now exists.

Hunter, DR, and CP will each have 100 yards in this game. Things are going to get:loco:

Response by NC ST fan..
Or you will just have judged NC State incorrectly. But that's understandable. We have some unknowns. Not necessarily deficiencies, but unknowns. It is sad that your ego will not allow you to assess the outcome objectively. You just have to assume NC State is bad, and nothing is going to change your mind.

What ego was he referring to?

After all this hype I can't wait to see history to be made!
I heard a rumor that Amerson was just going to play a one man zone on one side of the field to knock Da'Rick and CP out the game. Sure is going to be crazy to see.

I guess I'm being a little optimistic, but I sure am pumped for some football. If we can build a lead with Glennon' passing and force Tennessee to throw the ball, it could be a long evening for the Vols.

Whovever posted that made my day. They will need 4 Amerson's to stop our WR and Rivera.

Their secondary is one of the top in the nation. The DO want us to throw the ball. Look at the INT's they had last year. If they stop the run, pressure bray, and get picks we are going to be in trouble.


Wait...isn't that exactly why we lost so many games last year. Hmmmm.

As I live in NC, I'm surrounded by moronic UNC and NC State fans. At my business on the Outer Banks, we fly the UT flag every day - much to the chagrine of the locals. Already, I have several bets on the game: One a standard $30 wuup de doo. The next more serious: If UT loses, I have to fly the NC State flag for 2 weeks.

I got my tickets in the upper deck 50 yd line in the UT section.

I mean, REALLY, would we even had given NC State any props at all 10 years ago????

Not drinking the Kool Aid, just looking at the facts. WE ARE BACK, AND I 100% EXPECT THE VOLS TO SHOCK THE WORLD THIS YEAR.

Can't wait to wooop dayyy assss like it's 1998!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice post!

I spend two weeks with some friends fishing the outer banks every October. We are usually based out of Harkers Island. I'd like to see your UT flag flying. What kind of business do you have?

After watching all the Cincinnati love last year and then the shellacking we gave them nothing would surprise me this year.

You should have applied at the Univ. of Tennessee. They recently accepted a Florida academic reject.
