Honestly, we're actually using the @NCSU game as a bit of a barometer right now. Most in our fanbase think we should handle Tennessee rather easily, though we'll have to stop the run to get Grier back in the game to pick them apart. They're going to want to slow things down and grind things out on the ground. However the State game should be a true offensive showdown and the first time our defense is truly tested all year. To be honest we're confident that we can score on anyone in the country, it's more keeping them out of our endzone that's been the issue. If WVU can win in Raleigh it's likely to be a good season, if the defense shows it's legit vs what State can throw at us it could be a truly special season.
You won’t have to sweat next week’s game at all if NC State continues to be completely impotent in the running game

I lied, it's not 2008 anymore.

Things have been bleak for 9 years and things aren't looking up. We're in real danger of becoming another Nebraska or Tennessee.

Herm Edwards is 2-0 while Chip Kelly and Kevin Sumlin are 0-2. Just like how everyone predicted.

Syracuse still up 13-0 on FSU late in the 3rd quarter

Nebraska losing to Troy 17-13 in the 4th too. Granted the Huskers have a walk on QB starting today. But still would be a pretty bad loss to keep Scott Frost winless to open this season.

FSU fans going to blame Jimbo as if Jimbo Fisher didn't extinguish their previous dumpster fire and win them a title. He probably wouldn't have left them another one if their fans weren't so delusional and unsupportive after one down season. Really soon they are going to be remembering last year's 7-6 season wasn't so bad after all.

Huskers lose too. Troy has been a pretty well coached Fun Belt team for a while now though, so it's not as bad as some might think. Probably still not good enough for Husker fans though, they want things turned around yesterday.
