NC State vs Tennessee ESPNU

[sportsart]

NC State is gonna be pissed when they start the season 0-2. Oh well.

I thought I read they were going to be 1-1. I was gonna stay home but seeing 0-2 is still on the table I'm there.

Tennessee's defense is bad. I thought NC State's was supposed to be better, but that is relative to the conference they play in (which generally has crappy defenses). I think UConn has a better D than both of these teams.

UConn's defense is clearly better than Tennessee's. I don't even think it's close. I feel we will lose a 14-10 snoozefest to the Pack because I am PETRIFIED about our OL play, though NCSU's front 7 isn't that much of a step up from UMass's scrappy players. I do feel that we we could/would beat NCSU later on in the year because Whitmer will have had time to operate our offense in game situations.

We definitely got a chance against NCST. Our D will have to dominate.

I don't think that we showed too much in the way of game film. We did not show up UMASS in the second half and did not use much of the playbook. Don't judge too much by the run game in the second half. We had 90 of the 140 yards in the first half. After that we just kept it plain vanilla.

NC State gave up 5 yards per carry. I'm confident that the offense can burn up the clock and score as long as Whitmer manages the team well. I'm not worried one bit about our D. If NC State finds the endzone more than twice throughout the game I'll be surprised.
