My God, after that S Carolina game, and after watching other teams around the country absolutely demolish their cupcake opponents, we better come out mad on Saturday and put up at least 35+ points on Murray State. And we CANNOT hold an SEC team to 7 points and then allow a FCS school to put up like 20+ points the very next week - that is UNACCEPTABLE.

NCSU - 38
MSU - 10

if we lose to murray state i may give up on going to and cheering at games and resort to tailgating and drinking at home during games...

9/7/2009 5:01:41 PM

We should not take anyone lightly.

But if we lose god help me.

likewise, except I'm trying to get loyalty points to be a sure bet for the UNC game, so I would go to a few more games

rashard smith should get some touches on offense.

9/7/2009 7:45:49 PM

Our offensive line won't give him time to have touches on offense.

Also, he probably has the potential to be our best corner by the end of the year. He's bigger, stronger, and seemingly faster than the 2 current starters in addition to Morgan. If he turns out to suck at corner then sure, but not now....we're razor thin at corner.

9/7/2009 11:26:21 PM

I'm actually lookin forward to this game. I love a 6:00 kickoff at Carter-Finley durin the fall. Also, this should be one of those good laid back relaxing W's.

I'll go with:

NCSU - 44
Murray State - 10

Maybe too many points predicted, but I see the offense really breakin out.

RW couple TDs
Glennon 1 or 2
Atleast 1 special teams/DEF TD

9/7/2009 11:48:54 PM

Murray State goes down the field in the last minute with the score 17-14 NCSU. On 3rd and 1, and as time expires, Murray State punches it in for the win 20-17 (no extra point needed), and then we all bitch that the TD never counted...Sounds kind of familiar, huh?

9/8/2009 12:28:28 AM

But TOB doesn't bring up their non-qualifiers.

9/8/2009 12:34:55 AM

god that game blew :x

9/8/2009 12:35:16 AM

our defense seems pretty stout but after they put up 60+ last game I have a feeling they'll put up more than the 10-15 points everyone seems to think

9/8/2009 12:36:18 AM

^They put up those points against Kentucky Wesleyen, a D-II team that has only had 3 winning seasons since 1983 (all in the 1990s). Of the 66 pts 28 came from defense or special teams (3 TDs, 2 Safeties, and 2 FGs).

Sagarin hasn't updated his rankings for the week yet, but he's got us winning by like 40.

He pegged margin for the South Carolina game. I'm not saying he's gonna be right again, but just for s's and g's.

9/8/2009 9:09:06 AM

a lot of idiotic predictions in this thread. We will roll easily, glennon plays 1.5 quarters

9/8/2009 9:10:09 AM

nc state 33
murray state 24

9/8/2009 9:11:40 AM

^x5

everything in perspective. If you look at Kentucky Wesleyan's schedule, EVERYONE puts up a lot of points on them. They've averaged giving up ~40pts/game over the past 2 seasons + the 2 games this season with a schedule of terrible schools scoring all those points.

On top of that, Murray State only averaged around 20pts/game in 2008&2007 and 17pts/game in 2006 with a total record of 8-26 over those 3 years (also with a schedule full of terrible teams). So the fact that they put up 60+ on one team is certainly an outlier in their statistics.

On top of that, Murray State themselves have averaged giving up ~40pts/game over the past 3 seasons.

With all that being said, if they score more than 2 TDs on us, or are even WITHIN 2 TDs of us at home, something is wrong.

NC STATE 34
Murray ST 10

9/8/2009 10:00:31 AM

Guess which quarterback has been sacked more times than any in the nation this year?




Take one guess.



Answer: it isn't Bill Stull of Pittsburgh who was 11/16 for 123 yards who was sacked 0 times in his first game.


Our offensive line plain sucks. We are in for a long year if Wilson doesn't get his wheels back.



[Edited on September 8, 2009 at 10:09 AM. Reason : .]

9/8/2009 10:00:52 AM

Guess how many people care about overall stats compared to the rest of the nation "this year" after just one game played?




Take one guess.

9/8/2009 10:09:29 AM

This will be the first game I have gone to in a couple years, so I have a question. Where can I park my car for free without worrying about it getting towed? I have a friend with a parking pass that is going to come pick me up at my car, so something relatively close would be nice. I was thinking K-Mart parking lot, but if iirc they tow from there. Any help would be appreciated.

9/8/2009 10:13:46 AM

Ok then. He was the #23 most sacked QB in the nation last year. And he only played 9.5 total games out of the 13.

And he clearly would have been the #1 most sacked QB had he played those other games in full.

[Edited on September 8, 2009 at 10:19 AM. Reason : .]

I've been parking in the movie theater parking lot the past few game I've gone to. Haven't had any trouble or heard of people getting towed.

9/8/2009 10:20:49 AM

Mission Valley? That could work

9/8/2009 10:22:26 AM

mission valley? wtf?
just park in the vet lot - its free and down the st. from the stadium

9/8/2009 10:24:36 AM

or park in some of the dr offices up on sunday drive

9/8/2009 10:32:23 AM

Well my issue was that I will probably be there about an hour before the Vet lot opens, but I guess I can kill an hour. I'll figure it out, thanks for the help.

9/8/2009 10:33:36 AM

I need a ticket.....please help.

9/8/2009 12:08:40 PM

If only there was a thread for those requests.

Also can't you just sleep with one of the players for a ticket.

sacks arent always 100% the fault of the OLine. For instance, the guy Wilson is chasing for the passes w/o an INT record is Andre Woodson. Woodson has a HUGE issue with taking a ton of sacks because he has a delivery slower than Byron Leftwich and holds onto the ball too long.

9/8/2009 2:31:44 PM

i don't think k-mart tows either... don't take my word for that though. i know they don't for hurricanes games
