TOB post Pitt win

[eagle9903]

TOB Quote: There's no reading between the lines required here. O'Brien said it in so many words: "We're not a good football team."
"Just so they realize," O'Brien added. "They have a tendency to think they're pretty good. And they're not."

Diminished expectations disguised as motivation(as usual)

Bleep glorp.

We had 12 penalties, over 20 missed tackles, two missed FGs, and pathetic special teams otherwise. Still, we have the #1 defense in the country in total defense and an offense that just put up 530 yards against a good Pitt team even with all of those mistakes. There is a lot of room for improvement.

Does this include the two out of four games that you played against schools that weren't in 1-A?

Has Russel Wilson somehow been un-ruined by deep sea and the quartermaster's brilliant never use your legs to make a play strategy after USCe? Seriously, I haven't seen them play since that game, is he playing well again?

He had 320 yards passing, 91 rushing, 4 TDs and 0 Ints against Pitt. That makes 29 TD receptions and 1 int for his career. SC defense was just really fast (see SC/Ole MIss game last Thursday).

It does include those games. Obviously our D won't remain that high in the official stats, but I think they have proven that they should be able to do well inside the conference. We don't need to win games entirely with our defense.

If half of the games have been against 1-AA teams, you can only really look at how your team has done against two opponents. The game against SC was the first game of the season, and against Pitt you let up 31 points. If that instills you with confidence, then is in full effect down there.

Have those guys on the NC State board who banned any and every BC poster caught on to the fact the posts from BC guys were right on about Bible and TOB?

After reading the NC State board post-USCe, I learned two things:

• A large number of NC State fans think Tom O'Brien is a bust.
• Those same NC State fans will defend Tom O'Brien against anything if a BC fan says it.

So, in a nutshell: we were right. NC State fans know we were right. NC State fans will never admit that we were right.

[Whitechapel]

Well, maybe y'all were right.

But we still have Russell and we're hoping his sheer awesomeness will overcome O'Brien's failings.

And for the record, discounting our two FCS opponents, our defense is allowing 278 ypg. That would place us 22nd nationally in total defense. But then virtually every team ranked ahead of us has also played at least one FCS opponent and I'm betting that if you discounted those games as well, it would diminish their defensive stats as it does ours. So we'd probably fit somewhere in the 10-15 range legitimately. Just a guesstimate.

And to answer the question posed earlier in this thread, I too felt like Russell was playing in a coach-imposed straight-jacket against South Carolina (understandable given the importance of keeping him healthy). I'm happy to inform you that the shackles are off and Russell's dealing again.

<------ This emoticon has nothing to do with anything I said above. I just really like it.
