Here's a promotion image of Mike Glennon and TJ Graham

Can't be. Glennon is 6 inches taller than TJ.

9/16/2011 3:08:23 PM

He's just bending over

We get Michael Turner back(cough.. mustafa greene... cough) and we'll be set

Wake better beat Gardner-Webb this week.

9/16/2011 4:11:47 PM

Wake stomped them 48-5... that's a little reassuring, right?

[Edited on September 19, 2011 at 9:32 PM. Reason : ha, gardner-webb lost to Ohio last weekend, 30-3]

9/19/2011 9:29:17 PM

So Manning is out three weeks so he SHOULD be back for UVA. Which is like W-S. We never seem to win there.

Graham is a beast this year, stat wise.

#1 All purpose yards, #5 kickoff yards...my ESPN quota just ran out so I'm speculating

Top 10 punt return yards

#36 or so receiving yards

Hopefully he can impress scouts and get drafted

hopefully he can learn how to call for a fair catch when he's got a couple defenders on the punt coverage team right in front of him

10/13/2011 11:46:58 AM

he always gets in trouble when he has to run 15+ yards to where the ball is landing.

10/13/2011 2:07:30 PM

what does "T.J." stand for?

10/13/2011 2:08:45 PM

I would assume Trevor Junior, but I'm not 100% sure.

must be nice getting kicked off to 10 times a game

ACC honors Manning and Baumann: http://www.theacc.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/110 711aab.html

Quote :

"LINEBACKER – Terrell Manning, NC State, Jr., LB, 6-3, 233, Laurinburg, N.C. Manning had a huge game for the Wolfpack, which shut out UNC for the first time in 51 years. Manning, a junior form Laurinburg, N.C., played 59 snaps and had 11 total tackles, a sack for 12 yards, three pass breakups and three quarterback knockdowns. Manning had three stops on third down and one stop on fourth down, all in the game’s final 20 minutes. SPECIALIST – Wil Baumann, NC State, Fr., P, 6-4, 185, Wilmington, N.C. The Wolfpack’s freshman punter was invaluable in the victory over the Tar Heels. Baumann, from Wilmington, N.C., punted seven times for an average of 37.9 yards. He had five punts inside the UNC 20-yard line"

(also, Amerson was named a Jim Thorpe finalist (best college DB)

certainly seems like we've been putting out quality LBs lately

Audie Cole needs to get a better picture on the Butkus site, he's wearing an athletic NCSU shirt or something and almost everyone else is wearing suits

11/9/2011 8:13:58 AM

^looks like they got all pictures from the schools' athletic site

11/9/2011 8:39:21 AM

yeah probably...wouldn't hurt if he sent in one on his own though

11/9/2011 8:50:44 AM

hope Cole can get picked up in the NFL draft, then Manning after him the next year

Replayed the game again last night. Had the same reaction. "Who the fuck is Art Norman?"

11/21/2011 1:19:34 PM

I've read that there's no way Taylor Gentry could get it, but he and senior Sterling Lucas have applied for an extra year due to a medical hardhsip:

Pro scouts definitely know who Cole is. Believe it or not, I saw him rated as a Top 25 prospect on one site.

11/21/2011 6:21:22 PM

Sterling is a true 4th year senior this year. He never played a snap this season. He'll just take a regular redshirt. No need for a medical hardship waiver or a 6th year waiver or anything like that.

11/21/2011 10:59:30 PM

I'll take Gentry not getting a 6th year, as long as Montel Harris doesn't get a 6th year at BC and get another shot at Ted Brown's record.

11/22/2011 1:53:30 AM

It'd be a 5th year for Gentry, he wasn't redshirted.

11/22/2011 8:03:08 AM

Looks like Terrel Manning has a a good shot at first team all-ACC

Quote :

"He finished the regular season with 70 tackles, 13 tackles for a loss, 5.5 sacks, five pass breakups, four forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries, two quarterback pressures, and two interceptions. Despite missing two full games and most of another, Manning ranked No. 2 in the league in tackles for a loss, No. 7 in sacks, and No. 15 in tackles. He also led the ACC in forced fumbles and fumble recoveries."

Glennon and Manning each racked up another Player of the Week Award

Quote :

"OFFENSIVE BACK – Mike Glennon, NC State, Sr., QB, 6-6, 232, Centreville, Va. Glennon completed 26 of 55 passes for 306 yards, five touchdowns and just one interception in NC State’s historic come-from-behind victory over Maryland. Glennon tied the school record for touchdown responsibility by passing for five touchdowns and running for a sixth, tying the mark Philip Rivers set in 2002 vs. Navy. Also, Glennon’s five touchdown passes against the Terps made him the fifth NC State player to pass for five TDs in a game, the last being Russell Wilson against Florida State in 2009. Glennon set personal career highs with his 55 pass attempts (sixth in NC State history) and 36 completions (fifth). Glennon now has 28 touchdown passes on the season, moving him into a tie for third place with Wilson (28 in 2008) on the NC State single-season list for TD passes. Only Philip Rivers (34 in 2003) and Wilson (31 in 2009) have thrown for more touchdowns in a single season than Glennon has so far in 2011. LINEBACKER – Terrell Manning, NC State, Jr., LB, 6-3, 233, Laurinburg, N.C. Manning helped to keep Maryland off the scoreboard the final 25-plus minutes of the game and give the offense a chance to pull off the comeback victory. He had seven total tackles, two of which were tackles for losses totalling 11 yards, and one of those was a quarterback sack for an eight-yard loss. He also caused a pair of Maryland fumbles, and recovered another. Manning recovered a blocked field-goal attempt early in the second quarter and returned it 21 yards."

1st Team- Amerson, Graham

2nd Team - Manning, Bryan

Honorable Mention - Wolff, Bishop, Cole

Zach Brown over Manning.....

11/28/2011 3:28:18 PM

how did Bryan even make 2nd team? I love the guy, but he's been a huge disappointment all year

Z.Brown over Manning is just retarded

Brown is pretty fucking good. They are on the same level. Take off the red-tinted glasses.

11/28/2011 3:39:08 PM

manning still had an overall better season even with Brown playing in 2 more games

11/28/2011 3:47:00 PM

I guess it's because Manning missed 2.5 games. He is leading the conference in fumbles forced and recovered.

Tackles is 91-70 Brown. Sacks are both 5.5. TFL is Manning 13, Brown 11.5. INTs 2-2.

11/28/2011 3:47:48 PM

I could be misremembering, but it feels like Manning played poorly in at least a couple of our losses.

11/28/2011 3:50:13 PM

I don't think he's really had any "bad" games

Should glennon have at least been honorably mentioned? I'm not looking, but are his stats comparable or better than the QBs.

11/28/2011 3:53:57 PM

Had this discussion with a friend. George Bryan didn't have a bad season, really. It wasn't his best season (that was 2009 by far) but it wasn't bad. Here are some stats:

2011 30 302 10.1 19 4
2010 35 369 10.5 37 3
2009 40 422 10.6 29 6
2008 18 201 11.2 30 4

I'm not sure if these stats include post-season play, but if so he's only got 5 less catches for 67 less yards this year than last year and one more TD than last year in one less game. This is not a bad year, it just feels like it because he has dropped some passes that he should have caught early on (most memorably, a few passes that could have won the game against Wake Forest).

^ Glennon has sucked in a number of games this year. Sorry. He has had good completion percentages in 6 out of 12 games and two of these games were against FCS opponents. Also, he has thrown interceptions in 8 games, three of which were games where he threw 2 interceptions. He has had a few great games (South Alabama was amazing if that even counts), like against Clemson and the second half of Saturday's Maryland game but overall he hasn't been that good. I know a lot of people think otherwise, but that's the way I see it, and feel free to disagree if you want... you can check his stats here.
