We would be 6 – 0 if we had a freaking KICKER! I’m 62 and I can still kick better than that!!!
Smarter than the average bear
Proud of the way the kids played and the game plan set forth by the coaching staff. Definitely confused at why we didn’t try to score a touchdown in regulation. Whatever I guess. We will see what type of testicular fortitude we have next week against Louisville. Forget it and move forward trying to win the next one. Go Pack!
Yogi for kicker….How does Bambard get, or rather, keep a scholly? I’m a Cat 4 in my den right now…watch the right quadrant..

I would argue we did at least try to score a TD then Finley got sacked. We could have tried harder but we did try a take a shot.
Pack Football balled their as*es off! Clemson didn’t take us for granted and struggled! As a father of a college athlete, it’s hard to remember Bambard is what 20? It sucks we lost, but dem boys balled hard!! Yogi…breath, breath.
No words here, so I’ll let Samuel Taylor Coleridge speak on my behalf.
” Water, water, everywhere, and all the boards did shrink.
Water, water, everywhere and nor a drop to drink.”Yes, the team balled their butts off, and earned a huge signature victory until one player, given a great snap and hold, could not do his job. Even with the hold at 33 yards and between the hashes, he wasn’t even close.. Who has confidence in him going forward? When he missed it, you lost faith. Admit it. Maybe not hope, but faith…You knew.
Mr. Dog….
That ship sailed two hundred years ago…You know…
We GOTT Plenty to drink and most will do their best NOT to disappoint!Post game overindulgence as a painkiller is a NC State tradition.
#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!Can’t hate Bambard too much. It isn’t like he goes out there and says “I’m going to miss this one, too”. Blame the staff that didn’t recruit a legit kicker in the first place.
We are a good team with no placekicker…hope the team can come back mentally for the rest of the season…that Pack squad could win the rest of ’em.

Perfectly said. Completely unacceptable miss.
I remember a John Madden interview about a 3rd down in a playoff game. “I wanted to give the team 2 chances to win, pass on 3rd or fg attempt on 4th.” The snake to Casper for the win.
3 TOs, 3 downs 1:00 to go. Just about any coach runs 3x or 2x, 1 pass. Especially when you have kicking issues. We are at the Costanza stage of doing the exact opposite of what you normally do. And Dabo can go —- himself, everyone in that stadium knows State should have won that game.
Anybody who BLAMES the Field Goal kicker for a LOSS really needs to think about what they are saying…
Field Goals are ALWAYS a matter of last resort…
which is to say if you change the outcome of one or two other plays from negative to positive – meaning somebody else did NOT f up first- during the entire rest of the game, the kicker NEVER gets on the field with 2 seconds left.Field Goal Kickers only WIN games, they NEVER lose them.
Get over it.Football is the ultimate TEAM Sport.
POP!!!
#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!BOTH MISSES! I’d like to get a better look at what happened on the block too. THAT was maddening. We’d have broken into the top 25 with a win like that.

Total breakdown between RG && RT…
Both were put on their a##es by the Clempsom DT…same two guys who pushed the same DT down the field in front of Dayes in the 4th quarter…
#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!Well, we have a much better team than I thought we did (which I have to cling to after that ending…).
I hope this doesn’t break our spirit…because I now like this team A LOT. We can beat the Noles and Holes. We have shown we won’t back down from ANYBODY.
You deserved to win this game, players, coaches, and staff. I’m sorry you didn’t.
Don’t kick next game. Or the games after that.
Here is the stat of the game, for me. We had FIVE 4th down opportunities within FG range (counting the last play of regulation as a de facto 4th down for simplicity’s sake). On the FOUR kicks, we scored a TOTAL of 3 points.
The ONE time we went – not even a gimmie, 4th and 6 – we scored 7.
I’m not saying a 100% success ratio is sustainable, but it is absolutely mathematically justified to go for it in MOST cases already. With our kicking unit, it’s a no-brainer.
^So BJ.. you’re kinda saying “Blame the Coaches for sending the Kicker In”…
don’t answer, I’m just reinforcing my earlier posts suggesting that Blaming The Kicker is an indefensible position.
:>}
POP!!!
#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!Defense looked fantastic against Clemson. I’m blown away. Not sure what coaching staff was thinking calling a pass play down there though right before the missed FG. I mean seriously. That call even made Les Miles weep.
Team played the most physical game I’ve seen in years. Clemson was not prepared for us to come out playing like that.
