Another week, another opportunity to nab some walkin’ around money. The Obligatory Bet Against UNC Of The Week UNC has covered two weeks in a row, but I am undeterred in my faith that order will soon be restored. The Heels are 2.5-point underdogs to a Syracuse team playing with a backup quarterback that just […]

The great thing about this season is not only is it going poorly, but the team’s watchability is eroding as we go along. What a fun time we’re all having! Hollywood Smothers is an unexpected addition to NC State’s first availability report this week, listed as questionable along with JJ Johnson, Justin Joly, and Ronnie […]

Restoring a program does not have to be complicated. An authentic culture off the field, a clear identity on the field, and a quarterback you can use as the foundation for all of it—those aren’t easy tasks, but they aren’t complicated. Brent Key had Georgia Tech moving back in the right direction roughly three minutes […]

If NC State is going to make a coaching change this year, it will do so in what might be the most hectic carousel cycle to date. Already there are eight power-conference vacancies, including several jobs that are clearly better than NC State’s: LSU, Florida, Penn State, Virginia Tech, UCLA, Stanford, Arkansas, and Oklahoma State. […]

The uncertainty factor is at an all-time high this season. With 62 new head coaches, a record number of players transferring, international players becoming a more significant factor, and there’s still the incoming high school players – some of whom will make a difference, predicting the season ahead is impossible. But we do it anyway. […]

That Pittsburgh game was a tough one, but hey, great news: they only get tougher from here! NC State returns home to try and hand Georgia Tech its first loss of the season, which would be a bit of revenge that is 23 years in the making. Georgia Tech has won three one-score games to […]

The particulars are not important; how could they be at this point? You’ve seen, you’ve heard, you know. NC State’s defense was so bad on Saturday that it’s hard to actually see that secondary and the Pittsburgh offense play at the same level. Losing is the worst, but being embarrassed in the process is doubly […]

It’s another beautiful college football Saturday, not that we can tell down here in the dungeon. Let’s get to it. The Obligatory Bet Against UNC Of The Week In the most surprising development of the season thus far, UNC actually showed some backbone the last time it played. I am confident that the Heels will […]

Given the history of the NC State football program, Dave Doeren should be commended for his efforts in stabilizing the program. While he didn’t bring home conference titles like Earle Edwards, Lou Holtz, or Bo Rein, and failed to reach the double-digit win threshold of Chuck Amato, Doeren has supplied stability to the program that […]

On the bright side for NC State, both Noah Rogers and Terrell Anderson are good to go this week, as neither appeared on the initial injury report for the Pitt game. On the unpleasant side, NC State’s two starting offensive guards are listed as questionable. The Wolfpack defense will again be without Sean Brown, AJ […]

Exhibition Game Details Introducing the Gamecocks The Gamecocks are coming off a 12-20 / 2-16 last place season. But let’s not forget, the SEC was a monster last season, sending 14 teams to the NCAAT. (South Carolina just barely missed the cut) But who cares about that because most of those guys are gone. This […]

Pat Narduzzi and Dave Doeren have been coaching in the ACC concurrently since 2015, but this week marks only the third time they’ve gone up against each other—all three times in Pittsburgh, incidentally. Dave’s going to need to push his record against Narduzzi to 3-0 to breathe some life back into NC State’s season. The […]

I have been struggling for a while to figure out how I feel about Dave Doeren and the football program at this point in his tenure. I don’t think I’ve felt more disconnected from the general mood of this fanbase than I have in this case, because so many are fed up and I’m just […]

NC State’s mediocrity is spread so thoroughly across the three phases that you never know which part of the team is going to spring a leak from week to week, and while I appreciate good suspense as much as the next person, this is not my preferred sort. I accept the inevitability of something going […]

NC State’s search for six wins resumes in Pittsburgh on Saturday, and not surprisingly, the Wolfpack head into the matchup as a solid underdog. The task may be a little more difficult than the seven-point Vegas line paints it, as SP+ has the Panthers 12 points better. Pittsburgh is 5-2 on the season and coming […]
