Georgia state is usually good. I'd imagine they'd be like 2 point underdogs since we are at home though.

I'll be taking them big obviously

Scheduling a triple option team for the first game of the season in late July for a noon start is just begging for an upset. Hope our linebackers have already started hydrating.

^GSU has a new coaching staff and is not running the triple option

"Fritz was hired Jan. 10, taking over for coach Jeff Monken who accepted the head coaching job at Army. Fritz will break away from the Eagles’ longtime successful triple-option offense and is installing a spread offense which averaged 35 runs and 24 passes while producing 41 points a game last season at Sam Houston State."

It's not a true triple, more of a wishbone, but it's an option attack.

Didn't Georgia State beat Florida last year? Pretty sure they're bringing back their best offensive player(QB) and best defensive player(S) from last year.

We'll likely win but we'll probably lose a starter for season. NC State shit and all.

That pt spread sounds like easy money betting on GSU. Risky as we don't really know how good Brisset is at this point. If he is the reincarntion of RW, then I like State. If he is Pete Thomas and Brandon Mitchell's love child, then GSU should cover easily.

I think the reason for the huge point differential is because they're completely revamping their offense and lost quite a few players from the team that beat UF.

We should win, but I agree, 23 seems unrealistic. Even if we do get up by 20+ points we're going to put in the back-ups early enough that it'll keep the margin smaller.

Now that Brissett can play the offense should get off, but where will the defense come from???

^^Our defensive line should be able to manhandle GA Southern. The DTs (Teal, McGill, Nelson) might be the best in the ACC, and there are some playmakers at DE with Norman, Rose, Street, etc.

We've just got to hope there's some people behind them that can tackle.

^^^^ I am sorry. What is the reason for the guaranteed explosion of the offense? And ^^, FSU just scoffed at the fact that NC State thinks they have the best anything in the ACC.

I wouldn't expect an explosion of offense, but it's a fair assessment that our OL will be improved and QB play has to be at least as good but odds are better. So I think expecting us to look better on offense isn't a stretch. We actually scored plenty of points last year.

I don't think we have the #1 DL in the ACC, but I could see top 2-3 at least as far as DT's go, especially if you factor in depth. FSU is a great team, but they don't have the best player at every position in the ACC. Heck they only had 2 defensive players make All-ACC this year, and neither of those were a DT.

WTF??? We averaged 22.8 ppg last year. That is shit in today's NCAA unless you have an Alabama defense. If you take out the LT and CMU games, we averaged 18.6 ppg. Our offense was complete shit and Brisset needs to be MUCH better than Thomas/Mitchell if we hope to get to a bowl this year.

^^ So you compared us to 3 other schools with horrible offenses too and somehow that makes the statement "We actually scored plenty of points last year" true?

Our problem last year was more offense than defense. The defense was just flat out exhausted by the end of games due to the inept offense and all our 3 and outs.

Ugh. I had blocked that from my memory. Wasn't it something like 35 to 0 in the first 12 minutes of the game?

Yep. FSU went up 35-0 with 2:02 left in the 1st quarter. It was 42-0 at the half.

Our first 1st down was off a screen pass on 3rd & 12 and Mitchell's QBR for the game was 4.9

^ And I don't think I'll ever forget them faking a punt up 35 pts in the second quarter.
LudaChris credibility watch

Nobody who watched our offense last year can honestly say we weren't that bad.

And I would be willing to say that 1/4 of our ppg totals were scored in the 4th Q of blowouts, where the opposing D either had the 2nd team in or starters who stopped giving a damn.

Hopefully we've turned it around this year with Brissett. Plus, if we have a halfway legitimate passing threat it should open up the field for Dayes/Shad.

Thankfully that game was last year when the BCS was still in place and margin of victory didnt matter. Now that everything is back in the hands of actual people expect the huge ass beatings to start again. That same game happens this year we probably lose by 100.

I have to imagine enthusiasm for NC State football is at an all time low

with this schedule and last year's results? yikes. I can't even name more than two people on the team. here's to turning things around.
