Football Official game thread: Liberty at NC State...

We have some ridiculous fans on social media and a few on here. They were acting like Liberty was a community college team.

So glad these fans were never on any of my teams and that I don't associate with such losers. Great win despite the penalties, way to overcome!

Yes, especially after last year and with what is going on right now, you celebrate every win. Defense really stepped up.

Not disagreeing, but look at it from both sides… I am sure Liberty is saying something similar… if we had not... if we had one this… if we did not have this penalty… we always seem to look at things only form our perspective… just saying...
They had about 5 plays, including the play we got the safety, that were really terrible calls. Glad we got the breaks this time.
 
Just saying Hockman made plenty of errors as well. If he could handle a snap and not throw to the wrong team we could have been up 14-0 and this could have been a different game.
I understand. I just don't expect a 2nd string QB to play perfect, to never make a mistake. Make ever throw. Liberty is a pretty good team. Their kids are on scholarship as well. They are going to make plays. I thought we did a great job stopping Willis but they adjusted at halftime and shut down our run game. They were ranked and undefeated for a reason.

I get that in most games, but we probably had 12 to 15 completely unforced errors -- between the procedure penalties, the offsides penalties, the botched snap catch by Hockman, the penalty on the punt that all punt team players are schooled on that gave them a first down. Typically, you are going to have five or six of those in a game, and that is about what Liberty had.

I am not putting holds or turnovers or even most PIs in that category. The opposition has something to do with those.
I think they would say they made mistakes as well. Their coach mentioned after the game that Willis made a lot of mistakes

Whether the picks or his sacks or whatever, our players had something to do with any mistakes he made. Presnap penalties and a snap going through a QBs' hands are not influenced by the opponent.

I think DD would like to see us be more multiple on the DL, as the situation may call for.

I think the D would benefit with more four-man rushes. Just slide Wilson up there on the edge occassionally on 3rd down. Now, it seems like we either rush 3 and drop in a zone, or rush 5 or 6 and play cover 1 or cover 0.

i would say they did have a role in our mistakes. When you are getting pressure Hockman was looking around and took his eye off the ball. Our o line jumped, possibly to get a jump on making their block ass they had a tough second half holding them out of our backfield.

First Liberty drive of the game we started out with 4 man rushes as we had TBW walked up on the LOS as the 4th man. We also brought Ingle as the 4th man on a blitz once that drive as well. We do this a lot with 13, 11 and 31 as the 4th man on the LOS.

On the 2nd Liberty drive, 3rd and 9, we showed bringing 5 on the LOS but 11 dropped and we rushed 4 with 31.

We do this a good bit.
 
Yeah it’s baffling.

I can guarantee you Maryland football fans and Danny O Brien are telling anyone that will listen about the time they beat Russell Wilson and NC State.
There’s a name I haven’t heard in a coons age. Whatever happened to Danny O’Brien?

Thanks for the update.

I remember he transferred out but had a career game against us in the game where we could have won the Atlantic, right?

Didn’t he also win Rookie of the Year?

Yes & Yes.
Best game of his college career. His family were Wolfpack fans and he wanted to play for the Pack. MD was his best offer.
 
Ya mean like our current prez?

No Like I mean this is football game and a football board not a place for you to make political statements. Making political statements during a football games is for Bitchy little girls. Are we clear now. SMH.

I will look for it more. It sure seemed like for much of the season that we were basically rushing 3 or blitzing with 5 or 6.

I've noticed we will walk 13 up to the LOS a good bit and against VT we had 31 and 32 up on the LOS as the 4th man. We did it against Wake at the end of the game but we kept changing the looks there at the end.
 
Wilson rushes some but this past week he had spy on Willis. His job was just to keep Willis in front of him.

I think the Cuse Coach has more Class than that... They are playing very young Players... Game experience matters to these young Kids... I would be shocked if they backed out...

I was basically referring to TV money. Not sure if a game is canceled how it affects their share
