The keeper is wide open on the option. It's stunning how open it is. Keep it.

Damn. At the very least I wish we could've drained more clock on this drive or even hit a field goal to extend the lead to 2 scores.

State will have 2 minutes to try and even this up. I don't like this. Also Mack is killing me with his drops.

BW needs to keep a couple of those and break it outside!

Alize is out of it - most likely concussion. Won't see him the rest of the day.

Bend don't break. Watch out for trick play.

I agree, seems he's handing the ball to Adams many times when if he kept it looks like there would be a lot of green in front of him.

Defense gonna have to stiffen up here and make a stop. Can't let them notch it up before the break.

Coaching mistake. Call the timeout and make them punt.
NYNDBLUE

Whew. Outcoached on clock mgt. ND should have called timeout and forced them to punt.

One mistake but we're up and playing well. Need to finish and step on their throats in the 2nd half

I love that Crawford is in Samuels head right now...nice job by the defense at the end to step it up and finish the half strong...need a great second half!

I agree. With the way Smythe is playing, Mack might as well get comfortable on the pine.

Going into this game, NC State had not allowed a single player eclipse 100 yards rushing in a game all season.

Josh Adams eclipsed 100 yards in the first half.

How long do you keep giving Mack opportunities? He drops at least two passes in his hands per game (usually for a first down) and misses countless blocks in the run and screen game. And he doesn't stretch the field at all. So far he is a massive bust.

And according to jack*ss Flutie it's feast or famine for Adams now. Only to Flutie, Adams' first half wasn't really good.

Wake forest. Wow. The schedule just keeps getting tougher...

Agree. They were up 14-0 at Half but TCU returned opening kickoff to make it 14-7. Jut traded possessions and Iowa State getting ball with 10:33 left in Q3.
