Parting Thoughts

Do I think NC State is a good football team? Yes. Do I believe they are a top 15 football team? No. If you follow me on social media, you know I believe their offense isn’t special, and the numbers suggest their defense isn’t as good as some believe.

It’s either that or FSU media continue to show their bias against the FSU defense, despite the competition and the injuries that have limited this team.

There’s a reason FSU football is barely more than a field goal-betting underdog in a night game on the road. It’s a shame the team has the injuries they do to key players on the offensive line and on defense.

However, it’s still a game the Noles could win if they don’t kill themselves with self-inflicted mistakes and turnovers.

If this offense shows up, they have more than a puncher’s chance to beat the Wolfpack and restore some of the luster lost from last week. I’ll have more on this game this week.

However, I wanted to show how similar these defenses are, while the narrative folks say is totally different.
