Scared of NC? W.T.Hell?

[Kgun7]

I don't know if anyone is scared ... but they'd be foolish not to respect NC State. Two OOC QB's viewed as less talented than Glennon came to the Rent last year and ripped UCONN to shreds. As one of my favorite black balled coaches of all time Ted Nolan would say "Anyone can have the will to win ... but who will have the will to PREPARE?

However ... I remember walking into the Rent in '08 about to face UVA ... a few of my buddies were telling me what a tough game it would be. Without hesitating I said "This one will be over by halftime!"

And speaking of repect ... I may have lost all mine for Syracuse ... but damnit if I will always remember ... DIAMOND FERRI!!!

Scared is a trigger word, you can't expect a real debate when you use it. The two issues that concern me is their D-line vs. our O-line. Will our QB get time? Whitmer is not a concern. He threw more good balls in one game than we've seen in years. Another concern is their RB's. They looked tough to bring down to me last week. Let's hope our guys wrap 'em up.

"Scared" is provocative isnt it ;-) works like a charm

The only fear is running out of brew during the game like I did vs umass.

Don't look now, but I think Diamond Ferri just scored another touchdown!!!

Waquoit is right about the line play being key. One other thing is whether under pressure Whitmer reverts to past bad habits of gunning the short passes causing them to bounce off our receivers hands and turned into pick six's. Picture Michael Smith trying to handle the rocket from Zach in Fiesta Bowl that went the other way. We need to catch the ball, whatever it's velocity. That's our challenge.

Ok gloves need to come off. I just watched a replay of Tom obrien pressed for the nc state game. T.o. Was very respectful toward uconn and revered our coaching staff. However the reporters think little of us. They asked "how will it compare playing a good sec team to a not so good big east team". Then when obrien reminded him that a lot of these players have bcs bowl experience the reporter reminded him they got killed in the bcs bowl by the way.

I really hope the big east rises up in these out of conference games the next few weeks vs acc and lets ram it down their throats publicly. Yes we need to gloat a little. We already have more bcs bowl victories than them and have had more top ten finishes but we need to get the recognition we deserve. Hope the boys play do or die. Not sure if beating nc state really will prove anything but winning ooc games and proving yourselves is all we can do.

I don't have any feel for this one. Kept hearing a lot about NCState then they sort of laid an egg against a pretty mediocre Tennessee team the other night. Just my gut is that if we win we win big. Maybe 35-10 type score. I don't think we lose big but I'd be worried if it is one of those 13-10 type affairs. if there are lots of points put up I like our chances since I think we can make a stop if need be.
