In reply to Declan. Well they showed me. Great job recovering from that blocked punt td. Great job to all the players and coaches. The offence ended up rushing for 300 yards again, and the defence didn't give up any points in the 2nd half. I just wish ND put up more points.

Brutal start. The O Line always looks like shit against a quality D.

I tend to think ND will be emotionally flat in the early going, but I believe they will get their act together to eke out a win that probably won’t be pretty. I hope for a blowout but I just don’t think that’s very likely coming on the heels of the emotional victory over USC. NC State will want to put them self on the map, so they’ll be looking to make a statement.

Starting with USC last week and NC State this week, ND is now in the murderer’s row portion of their schedule and if they win out or only lose one then the season will be a great success.

This game is about match-ups and don’t kid yourself, NCS is a threat. We need to take care of ball, maybe even control it. BW needs to improve in pocket. We shall see.

Notre Dame’s best 3 opponents, UGA MSU USC, are a 7-0, 6-1, 6-2, each with aspirations to win conference and national championships. Our team has been well tested and playing exceptionally well right now. NC State’s best games are an L to 5-2 South Carolina, a W over 6-1 Marshall, and a W against 5-3 Louisville. Irish by 14.

NC State can’t stop ND’s O.

USC’s and UGA’s depth is comparable to Notre Dame’s. NC State not so much. After what we have seen the last six weeks, I don’t see this being a three point game past the second quarter.

Great write-up, Vannie, and special thanks for not falling into the “NC State hasn’t played anyone” trap – this is a team with almost no weaknesses, regardless of the quality of their schedule.

This game is nothing less than the defining game of our season. Hammering USC felt great, but they’ll be lucky to end the season ranked at all. Next to UGA, the Wolfpack is the best team we play, and as everyone’s pointed out, every game is now an elimination game. Win this, and it’s all winnable from here on. I’ll let myself start believing again; I’ll say the P-word.
