SMU has surprisingly changed it up at the quarterback spot, with junior Preston Stone being replaced by sophomore Kevin Jennings. Their numbers through two games are similar except for one category, the smaller, quicker Jennings can really run. Coach Rhett Lashlee showing some stones with this move after Stone threw for 3,197 yards, 28 touchdowns and six interceptions last year, and was a coup for them in recruiting (plus whatever NIL money he is receiving).

Be interesting to see if Stone is going to be very cognizant of not playing in more than four regular season games.

For rest of this season:

Time to quickly rebuild and that starts on the OL. Let it be known that if performance does not improve immediately then plan to ride the pine. What difference, at this point, does it make to play Bonner and some others?

After the season:

I would reprioritize NIL money. We are fine at the skill positions (hopefully won’t lose too much skill to the portal) and we should be able to attract a decent grad qb to back up Bailey.

We need quality OL and DL depth badly. That was the difference last night. I know we swung and missed on a few NTs to spell Cleveland but that has to be fixed going forward.

I think our OL is soft. Hate to say it and that goes back to strength and conditioning and one of our beloved leads that program but we have to do better there. Looking at some of the OL-I saw some paunches and flab. Got to change that.

Pittsburgh got a new chancellor and she has quickly cleaned house in athletics. On "paper" the AD did a good job, so she should land another solid job soon.

It's starting to look harder each week, Northern Illinois is going to give us one heck of a game.

Jorge Sedano is the play-by-play guy, Orlando Franklin the analyst and Morgan Uber the sideline reporter for Louisiana Tech at NC State at 12 p.m. Saturday on the ACC Network.

Scouting Louisiana Tech​

This might be the least talented team NC State faces this season. Very little popped about them in the opener against Nicholls, and then one of the better Nicholls players was a Louisiana Tech transfer. The quarterback got dinged up, and there was a heavy rain storm. The punter is really good and from Australia.

With FSU losing to GT and SMU ekeing out a win over Reno yesterday, I’ve tempered my irrational exuberance a bit heading into the start of our season. Few picked GT to beat FSU, and SMU was a 27 point favorite.

Pretty sure DD is preaching “one game at a time “ to the team this week, as we all look forward to week two.
