What a fun day at the football game. The score, 37 - 13 was just about what I expected - only the teams were reversed. Since State was expected to lose, and possibly lose big, I was surprised that the Stadium was filled. Yeah, lots of Clemson Orange, but the faithful Wolfpackers showed up too.
This is going to sound like looking a Gift Horse in the mouth - Why the heck hasn't NC State played every Saturday like we did against Clemson?
The team yesterday was what I was expecting to see before the season started.
Our Defense (finally healthy) has been playing great - it's the Offensive Line that has been sputtering. I'm still not over last week's second half against Boston College. Our defense kept BC to MINUS 2 yards in the second half but our offense couldn't (or wouldn't) score - and we lost.
Yesterday - the offense finally put it together. When the O line protects the quarterback and gives Mike Glennon time - good things happen. And it did.
NC State yesterday could have competed with any team, any team, in the nation.
State must win next Saturday to go 7 - 5 and become bowl eligible. I figure the kids will be up for the game and will come through. Then again, I figured we'd have no less than a 9 - 3 season. So much for what I know / figure.
I'll be on a cruise ship Saturday which won't be carrying the broadcast. Looks like I'll have to sign up for one of the way overpriced internet packages and use it up just to see the game. Grrrrrrr.
