NC State vs. LA Tech Game Thread

Yay, kickoff is minutes away! Need a reason to be positive? TOB has left town. And Skip Holtz is coaching the other team.

I will see you in the comments for late August fun and hilarity. Nobody knows what to expect from either team, so enjoy the ride.

    I got it back, FB. Took about 30 min.

    But it’s ok when you are up 17 and 3Q almost over. Much better than throwing another pick, which SHB didn’t do.

    Sade almost missed the 20-yarder, from dead center spot. FYI for those without TV coverage.

    swiss cheese D

  4. BJD95 08/31/2013 at 3:02 PM #

    The problem is the goal line D knows SHB won’t run a keeper. And we can’t straight power run inside the 5 when they know it’s coming. At least not that well.

    And this is probably the worst defense we’ll face all year.

    This is like the two minute defense all over again. 53 yards in 20 seconds.

    This is mostly about gambling now. LT covers at 27-14 (13.5 point spread).

    Wow. Holtz with a TOB moment. Burns timeout.

  8. freshmanin83 08/31/2013 at 3:10 PM #

    ouch must play 2nd half too

  9. BJD95 08/31/2013 at 3:10 PM #

    And it is now 27-14 FFS

    This offense is not built for Thomas. Not his style. Did stocker quit?

  11. packpowerfan 08/31/2013 at 3:11 PM #

    Dixon might be one of the best athletes we see all year. Up there with Watkins in terms of explosiveness.

    “This is mostly about gambling now. LT covers at 27-14 (13.5 point spread).”

    So then that groan I just heard was the ‘Dog lamenting his thinner wallet, and maybe even trying to duck his bookie?

    We look slow compared to LA Tech. That seems bad for the rest of the season.

  14. Fastback68 08/31/2013 at 3:13 PM #

    DD, this is where you show the fan base that this team is different. Work some offensive magic. Burn the clock and score 7.

  15. freshmanin83 08/31/2013 at 3:13 PM #

    really glad we had those turnovers in the 1st half we sure need them

  16. freshmanin83 08/31/2013 at 3:14 PM #

    nice run crecy

  17. Fastback68 08/31/2013 at 3:15 PM #

    There you go. 20 yards up the gut.

  18. Rick 08/31/2013 at 3:15 PM #

    And now an OT down.

  19. freshmanin83 08/31/2013 at 3:16 PM #

    shorten the game

  20. freshmanin83 08/31/2013 at 3:17 PM #

    Sherriff is going to have to throw it once or twice not fooling them

  21. Wufpacker 08/31/2013 at 3:18 PM #

    That was a pretty toss and catch.

    Hopefully that’s a settling in thing, and not a “blind squirrel” thing.

  22. Wufpacker 08/31/2013 at 3:19 PM #

    Nevermind.

    Blind squirrel returns.

  23. freshmanin83 08/31/2013 at 3:19 PM #

    As noted rolling out Thomas does not look good.

  24. packpowerfan 08/31/2013 at 3:19 PM #

    Run the screen with Sherriffs in. They are going to all out blitz when he is on the field. Make them pay for that aggressiveness.

  25. BJD95 08/31/2013 at 3:20 PM #

    30-14, covering again!!!
