16 Responses to "Game Breakdown: Duke Downs Pack 49-28"Wilson's touchdown to Spencer moved him into sole possession of 4th place in NC State history in passing touchdowns. He passed Shane Montgomery.
Toney Baker's rushing touchdown in the second quarter gave him sole position of 11th place (17 TD's) in NC State history in rushing touchdowns, passing Bobby Crumpler, Anthony Barbour and Charlie Young
can we please play a little defense?
Russell Wilson only needed 137 yards to move past Tol Avery (1980-82) for 11th place in NC State history in passing yards. He finished the half with 151 yards passing.
It seems the zone is soft... Do you see us mixing in any man to man or press? or mainly zone vs there O?
Boy, does our defense really not pursue the play or what?

The zone does seem to be a tad soft. Part of that problem is that the d-line can't seem to get any pressure on the quarterback. Lewis is getting the ball of real quick.
It seems like we are playing a majority zone, at least that was the case in the first half
Duke's 42 points thus far is the highest point total that the Blue Devils have scored on the Wolfpack since 1995 (State won that game 41-38).
I have tried to be postive all I can take... Sorry in advance....
Begin Rant...
I must say it seems that alot of holding is left uncalled. But thats not my beef. Our D is no where near what they should be. I know duke to be a okay team but you have to give it to me we have better athletes. We have better skill players. If we lose I put this on the coaches just as much as the players.
this loss is unexcusable .... the wake loss was bad enough but this would kill any idea of a good season.... at best a lower tier bowl if we lose this...
End of Rant
Please pull this out GO PACK
Time for a big rally....Please....
(sighs) we are going to lose to duke... I think I am going to crawl in a dark hole for the rest of the year
***PLEASE HELP***
I'm choking on my own vomit.
this is the most embarrassing game of the decade for nc state who ever is in charge of the defense needs to go immediately
This marks the most points that Duke has scored on the Wolfpack since 1952 (Duke won 57-0).
This loss is sickening. I thought our D would be OK, but they were horrible. Are they just afraid to lose, or what? They have to figure out how to tackle, and the zone coverage is completely broken.
I still have hopes, but not high ones.
