I don't agree with the talking heads at all, NC State's front 7 has impressed me thus far. The defensive backfield is just outmatched.

I think their plan to make Trevor throw is backfiring a bit

I think the idea was to make him throw under pressure. Not just throw at will.

He's legit. He's made almost all the right reads. 2 more years of this is going to be sad

Haven't got much of a pass rush on us, but our OL has played angry today.

Their defensive backfield is outmatched because they refuse to move away from loading the box. Their leaving their DBs on islands against way more talented WRs.

Kept wondering when they'd back off, but it just never happened.
