This past Friday Coach O'Brien chatted with David Glenn of the ACC Sports Journal. Here is a small excerpt from their conversation:O’Brien on Year Three at N.C. State:
“I think certainly we’ll be a much more competitive football team than we were our first two years here. The only caveat to that is the injury bug, which we faced here for our first two years. If we can minimize that and come up with a normal year, then as I said we’ll be competitive. I don’t see that we’re going to ever be out of any football game, and I think we’re certainly going to have a chance to win them all.”
O’Brien on his biggest worry this season:
“I think my greatest concern comes back to injuries. If we can keep the guys we have and lose no one else for the season … I know we’re going to lose a guy here or there for a week or two. I mean those things happen throughout the season. But we can’t lose 10 guys for the year lke we did a year ago.”
O’Brien on a Wolfpack player to watch this season:
“The guy who’s made the biggest strides still is Toney Baker. … He’s not back to where he was in August of 2007, but he certainly has shown he can be a functional and capable back for us. With him and Jamelle Eugene, it gives us a pretty good 1-2 punch, like we had last year with Andre Brown and Jamelle Eugene.”

"A University of South Carolina Gamecock is in trouble with the law.
This time, officials say defensive end Clifton Geathers was arrested Sunday around 3:10am..."
Isn't this USC's most important defensive player?
Probably Norwood is. Their D is not going to be an issue for many teams this season but one would think that if Garcia and the O Line ever got their act together they could prosper a bit on O.
