Message: [QUOTE="ScottVib, post: 4736061, member: 694"] The outcome isn't what I hoped for, but is what I expected. A competitive game against a top 40(ish) team. I said it in another thread, if NC State is #4 in the ACC; UConn is #6/7. The DLine got pressure, but the tackling at the second level was bad. NC State's defense was their strength and their DBs were expected to be the strongest unit of that defense, so while I don't think the WR were good, we'll see if they can get separation next weekend against a much weaker defense. To beat a more talented team you typically need to play a clean game and win the turnover battle. UConn did neither and despite that was still in the game, they just couldn't get the big play needed. Here's hoping that at least half the people who showed up for the opener come back and join the other 20k of us who'd've been there anyways at the game on 9/16. Hopefully a 3:30 kickoff gets folks through their kids' activity commitments and into the lot with enough time to have a beer and head on in. [/QUOTE]
