Duke Gameday Thread
We’re about 2 hours away from kickoff, and we can expect to see two things today – (i) a whole lot of offense; and (ii) a Wolfpack win. I’m not confident that we will beat the mammoth spread, but I am confident of a victory. Which is an especially good thing today, given that a loss would pretty much spell the end of NC State’s bowl hopes.
Also on the plus side of the ledger, NC State’s next opponent (Boston College) looks like absolute crap in Blacksburg. Two close wins and two blowout losses lead me to believe that the Eagles have a glass jaw. Get on them early, and a decent team should coast to victory. 2-1 is really the bare minimum record for the Wolfpack going into the tougher stretch of the league slate – assuming (as I do) that a bowl game is the minimum threshhold for a successful “bridge” season to 2010-12 ACC contention.
We will be discussing today’s game in real time here. We’ll see you in the forums!

That sounds right. Next two games are the most critical of the TOB era. Win both and we are in great shape to be bowl eligible (only need a 2-2 split from a reeling FSU and mediocre to bad UNC, Clemson, and Maryland teams at home). Plus the division title is still wide open. Lose either game and the division chances are in deep trouble, and bowl eligibility looks dicey.
Fact is that Duke is still not very good and we will win as long as we don’t beat ourselves. I am most interested in seeing a better performance from the secondary.
does anyone have a link to the game?

only getting audio with that link Wesley.
working fine for me
State deserves to lose this game. The defense has absolutely ZERO heart.
As soon as State doesn’t score here in the fourth this game is over.
This is embarrassing.
Way to go Pack. You are playing like the old Duke. Can’t get away from a punt? This may be a worse team than any in past 20 years.
Real bright to punt down 14 late in the fourth quarter when your defense is playing like diarhea. I guess the coaches WANT to lose.
Chuck’s teams were better than this….when he had Rivers he won…he never had a Wilson behind him
starting the official…

I’m really glad we hired tom o brien, he has really brought a lot of discipline to our team, and athleticism, champions in the community, champions in the classroom, and …..
Wow does our team suck!!
I think that I can honestly say with no hyperbole that this is one of the worst defensive performances in NC State history.
