Overrated

NC State’s football team is overrated.

Our two games so far have been basically the same. Terrible game plan and execution in the first half - playing catch up in the second half.

In both games we clearly have the better talent and players. But we get man handled in the first and second quarters. The responsibility lies squarely with the coaches.

When you spot the other team a 20 – 6 lead by halftime, that’s hard to overcome in the second half. Still, we darn near pulled it out yesterday at Wake Forest.

Our defense was supposed to carry the offense until new quarterback Mike Glennon got himself established. Well, MG is doing fine. The defense, in the start of both games, couldn’t stop a pee wee team. Especially our defensive secondary. Wake and Liberty passed at will against us in the first halves respectively.

We make adjustments at half time and come out and play really well in the second half. But the way we’re unprepared in the first half is inexcusable. Our coaches had better get their act together.

Notre Dame at Michigan

The Game yesterday was Notre Dame at Michigan.

My goodness, what a barn burner! Three touchdowns in the last minute and 20 seconds. Winning score made with two seconds left. This game will be seen time and again on ESPN Classics.

Both teams wore classic uniforms, a throwback to the early 20th century, 118,000 fans, and a tight, well played game. This is what college football is all about.

The Big House looked awesome under the lights.

9/11

I'm not going to post about today’s anniversary. I’ll let others talk and post.

A heartfelt thank you to my friends FG, JTN and DB for their service in the United State Army and National Guard.
