2023 North Carolina State Football Predictions and Season Preview

It's time to reveal our 2023 North Carolina State football predictions in our season preview, which includes looking at their roster..

Doesn't sound like their receiving corps is all that strong. Oh to be able to shut down their passing game.

 

[Punkbo]

Coach Mora is doing an incredible job. We were an embarrassment just a few years ago. Now we’re all super amped up. More fan engagement, better product, LET’S GO!!!

 

[huskidork]

in just 2 years I went from hoping to win just 1 game against an FCS team, to thinking we have a legitimate shot at beating a solid power program, this is amazing I am so excited to give them an early season punch in the mouth.

Not buying +15. It’s a gift.

Not buying +15. It’s a gift.

Not a gambling man but if I were I would put my shekel on UConn.

 

[Nostical]

I would put my shekel on UConn.

So would I, especially for 1st Q and 1st H.

This whole thread has me amped up! LET'S GO!!!

Is it Thursday yet?

Taking 15 points as a hard core Husky fan does seem to be a great bet

Was trying to reply to Rich text - I’ll blame it on the Coronas.

I have +16, I placed this bet June 2nd.

 

[NE Football]

Getting 15 plus points is a layup. NC St is not a good offensive team. They’re decent but not great on defense.

Huskies 27
State 17

Their run game was really bad last season too I believe 3.3 ypc and they lost their starting QB to Kentucky.

 

[Palatine]

Turner was 10-12 for 39 yards versus NC State last year. Fagnano needs to exceed that yardage number.

 

[KembaKek]

BCU held them to 20 points at NC St

If you're basing your offensive analysis off the BC game... don't they were without their starting QB. Their new QB, Brennan Armstrong, is very good. Was especially good when he had the OC at UVA that is now at NCSt.

 

[NE Football]

UVA was and is worse than NC St. They are not a good football program. Every year they are way overrated, overhyped and fall flat. Mora is going to school Doreen!

 

[NEforceUConn]

I have +16, I placed this bet June 2nd.

I’m thinking a great parlay would be UConn plus points and UConn over for number of wins.

A win Thursday and I would spend the anticipated earnings knowing that I collect at end of season

Wonder what payoff would be compared with betting both individuals.

 

[rich1122]

We are healthy and deep. We have lines with experience . QB situation with both teams maybe a wash.

Comes down to McFadden?

Can’t wait.

 

[Woof 101]

So would I, especially for 1st Q and 1st H.

I'm thinking final score.

 

[WestCoastHusky]

Reality like our chances with this one. Our cores in both DL and OL are solid, and we got good skill players. If our lines are good, we will have a chance in every game. Mora has constructed this roster nicely, and we will surprise some people.

If our QB play is better than last year, and we should have a very good year.

Let's shock the world and kick NCST's ass on Thursday. Let's show the world UConn football is back.

 

[KembaKek]

We should be getting a 2-deep today right?

[Punkbo]

I think the 2-deep reveal will be a wow moment for a lot of us. It will be the first time in a while where we enter the season feeling really good about the team and our depth. I’m feeling great about the season. The progress is incredible. We have a lot of talent on this roster. Let’s hope the pieces gel. I’m counting on Coach Mora to make that happen. Go Huskies!

(But I've been thinking the same thing.)
