NC State Mid Season Review

Top 10 Words Describing the Wolfpacks Season to Date:

1. Frauds – Even though the Wolfpack started the season out of the Top 25, unlike their neighbors in Chapel Hill, the Pack was expected to challenge for the division crown.
2. Misleading – The stat that for weeks said the Wolfpack had one of the top rushing defenses in the country. Montell Harris shot that theory down pretty quickly last weekend.
3. Disappointment – After such a strong finish last season, everything seemed to be in place for a strong season. Sitting at 3-4, with multiple tough games left, hope for this season seems to be lost
4. Underachiever – The Wolfpack was picked 2nd in their division; however that currently reside in dead last.
5. Fundamentals – POOR TACKLING!!! This three game slide may have been avoided if seven players had not whiffed Josh Adams on the final 3rd down of the Wake Forest game
6. Coaching – For the first time ever, doubt is beginning to creep into fans minds about O’Brien and staff. This team is trending downward
7. Confidence – This team looks like beaten puppy out there. No one on either side of the play seems to be assertive on the field. There is way too much indecisiveness on the field
8. Despair - For the Pack faithful, football season was supposed to be the only thing that gets us through what appears to be a miserable basketball season. NC State has a great shot of finishing dead last in both sports.
9. Luck - After breaking the NCAA record of passes without an interception, defenders are actually catching Russell Wilson’s passes. Wilson has now thrown 4 INT’s in his last three games
10. Hope – Is there any hope for the Wolfpack to salvage their season and get the 7 wins needed to reach a bowl game? I say no way. Their schedule is defiantly back loaded, and with the way they are playing, I see little to no chance of them wining 4 of their last 5 games.
