Observations from Pack’s FSU contest
By on October 6th, 2007
Defense giving up yards, not points posted 4:59 p.m. State’s defense has allowed Florida State to drive across the 50-yard line four times, but so far the Seminoles have come away with a mere 10 points in the first half. Some of the credit belongs to N.C. State’s defense for making stops, but a lot of the credit belongs to FSU kicker Gary Cismesia for missing two field goals, one of them a 23-yard attempt. The Pack needs to take advantage by getting on the board again before the half so it can have the momentum and the ball at the start of the second half. posted 4 p.m. N.C. State’s offense has a clear gameplan today: get the running backs involved. Every play except the final two-yard touchdown pass from Daniel Evans to John Dunlap included Andre Brown or Jamelle Eugene touching the ball. The idea seems to be to keep the pressure off Evans as he starts for the first time since the season opener. Short passes and plenty of handoffs appear to be in store for the offense, but Evans will still have to hit some receivers downfield so Florida State isn’t able to load up the box and shut down the run.

Wolfpack arrives at stadium
By on October 6th, 2007
The football team arrived at Doak Campbell Stadium two hours before kickoff in preparation for today’s game against Florida State. Intermittent showers have dotted the stadium in Tallahassee as players work through light warmups.
As he led the team into the stadium. Tom O’Brien was dressed to impress in a gold suit and red tie, an outfit not likely to stay with him on the sideline.
This will be the Pack’s first encounter with former coach Chuck Amato, who will man the opposite sidelines from his former players, since he left after last season.
Stay with Technician throughout the game for up-to-the-minute updates and analysis.
