Seventeen games into his NC State tenure, Dave Doeren is still looking for a statement--er, #STATEment--victory, not to mention conference victory No. 1. Sure would be nice to take care of both of those today, wouldn't it? Last week was a confidence-building game even though it was a loss, and the best case scenario for the Pack is that they translate it into a competitive effort in Death Valley.
I can't shake the feeling that this one is gonna end up going entirely in the other direction, though. Prove me wrong, kids! Prove me wrong. I think what I'm saying is I'm not quite ready to love trust again, football team.
While we wait for the State game, feel free to use this as an open thread for other games this afternoon.
