#65 NC State Wolfpack: College football 77 in 77

NC-STATE-wolfpack

The NC State Wolfpack? More ACC college football? Yes, we usually have a whole lot of mid-majors, ACC and basketball schools ranked in the 60s and 70s every year. The NC State Wolfpack are usually down here in the 77 in 77 dregs with Syracuse, Virginia, Kentucky, Boston College, Duke, and Indiana. It?s often b-ball schools and ACC; or both.

NCSU has had some great basketball recruiting classes, but that they haven?t exactly performed like a ?basketball school? recently.

NC State Wolfpack reasons to get EXCITED ALL CAPS: They?ve been to three straight bowl games, and look like they might be a factor in the ACC Atlantic under new Coach Dave Doeren. He won with the NIU Huskies, and has a great track record. He also brought over his star Offensive Coordinator Matt Canada. The defense was at least passable, if not solid.

NC State Wolfpack reasons to get worried :( ? The run game pretty much engage in lordosis behavior for opposing defensive front sevens. There is a new signal caller to break in as well. He won?t be a Mike Glennon or Phillip Rivers type. Can Doeren and Canada game manage the uncertain and unstable QB situation?

The offense needs to learn how to run the ball and manage clock to keep that mediocre defense off the field. Only four starters return on both sides of the ball. The Pack are to ball control what Tim Beckman is to coaching too. 99th in the nation, 10th in the ACC in turnover margin.

NC State Wolfpack Key games: With Louisiana Tech and Richmond off the mat, they?ll be 2-0 out of the gates. Clemson in week three will be the right test. If they?re 3-1 going into Oct 5 vs Wake Forest, Syracuse the next, if they?re 5-1 heading to Florida State Oct 26th, we?ll see who?s for real or not.

NC State Wolfpack bottom line: They could be worse than their record indicates, but 5-7 to 7-5 is your scenario with a low tier bowl bid possible. They?ll pad their W-L by feasting off a weak ACC.
