Going from dead in the water to taking this game into overtime in hostile territory. I don't even know what to say about that.

State's offense had more turnovers today than the defense has forced on the season combined.

[John Lucas @jdlucas84]

Has any team given up more big plays on third or fourth down as N.C. State's defense has this year?

[John Lucas @jdlucas84]

Another year, another Dave Doeren coached team blowing a late lead

[John Lucas @jdlucas84]

How was that targeting overturned? That was the textbook definition of a targeting penalty

[John Lucas @jdlucas84]

You would think after the Georgia Tech game, Doeren and Gibson would have learned to not leave the middle of the field wide open. But that would require an NC State coach showing the capability of making an adjustment.

[John Lucas @jdlucas84]

Someone tell Dave Doeren and Tony Gibson that they don’t have Payton Wilson to defend the entire middle of the field by himself anymore

[John Lucas @jdlucas84]

If Anae remains offensive coordinator next year, that alone should be grounds for State to fire Doeren.

[John Lucas @jdlucas84]

This year's State/Carolina game is on track to be a battle for "not last place."

VFB: Triton leads Western Harnett 22-8 at halftime.

[John Lucas @jdlucas84]

Western tries a trick play to score before the half with a double pass, but it’s picked by Brayden Bates, who takes it the other way for six. Alan Hinson to Ray Plummer for two. Triton takes a 22-8 lead into the half.
