Wilson Named Offensive Back Of The Week...Along With A Couple Other Notes


-NC State Quarterback Russell Wilson was named the ACC Offensive Back of the week. Here is what TheACC.com had to say about Wilson:

"OFFENSIVE BACK – Russell Wilson, NC State, QB, So., 5-11, 208, Richmond, Va. (Collegiate)NC State sophomore quarterback Russell Wilson threw for four touchdowns and totalled 413 total yards—the ninth-highest in school history—in helping the Wolfpack to a 38-31 comeback win against previously unbeaten Pittsburgh. Wilson was 21-of-35 through the air for 322 yards and threw four touchdown passes for the third consecutive game. His team- and career-high 91 rushing yards gave him 413 of NC State’s 530 total yards (78 percent). As the Wolfpack trailed, 31-17, with 4:15 remaining in the third quarter, Wilson engineered three touchdown drives of 45, 83, and 71 yards, including a 33-yard touchdown pass to Jarvis Williams, and a seven-yard strike to George Bryan to tie the game at 31-31. Wilson currently sits second in the ACC and 19th in the nation with an average of 271 yards of total offense per game, ranks second in Division I FBS with 12 touchdown passes, and has thrown an NCAA-record 364 consecutive passes without an interception."

-The kickoff times for the games on October 10th have been announced. The NC State vs. Duke game at Carter-Finley will kickoff at 4pm and will be televised on ESPNU. This will mark the Wolfpack's 3rd straight game on ESPNU.

    "Wilson also received a vote for week 5 in the Heisman race from the ESPN experts..."

    Yeah, if you consider Heather "Pine Trees" Dinich an expert. ;)

    Seriously, though. I love Russell as much as anyone. But it is WAY premature to start talking up Heisman. We haven't even played a conference game yet. We'd have to finish 11-1 for him to get an serious consideration, and even then it might be a stretch. He'll probably have to perform every game the way he did against Pitt.

    I think it can be done, but it's pretty early to be talking him up now.
