Jeash, well i'll be heading their a little earlier than expected. That game could be a hot one!

 

[RDU Irish]

I'm just happy they announced ahead of ticket sales rather than the normal ACC move of waiting until a week before the game to announce kickoff. In my backyard!

who doesnt want an early season nooner

NC state has already had the tickets on sale, or are you talking about ND allotment?

 

[RDU Irish]

I knew I was going to regret buying through ND. $120 for nose bleed corner seats. At least Hartman is use to these noon ACC kickoffs so maybe we won't need three quarters to wake up and start playing.

This feels like a major trap game. Respectable program under Doeren, noon kick coming off of Ireland and TNST, hope Freeman has the boys hype for this one when the time comes.

Noon kickoff helps me relax about it a bit. A night NCSU game would've been worrying.

 

[greyhammer90]

It is wild that we will have played 3 games by September 10th and will have played half the schedule by September 30th.

Yeah, I don't like it at all. Most people I know keep talking about Ohio State and they're totally glossing over this game.

 

[arrowryan]

Defense and running game travels, always

Yeah, I don't like it at all. Most people I know keep talking about Ohio State and they're totally glossing over this game.

I need this to go the right way so I can finally come to terms with that damn hurricane game I sat through.

 

[stpeteirish]

NC St wasn’t all that hot last year with losses to Syr, BC, and Maryland in the bowl game. Their offense sucked after Devin Leary got hurt.
This year Leary’s gone and they’ve picked up Armstrong from UVA. Armstrong was great two years ago but regressed badly last year.
Really hard to get a feel for this one. Will probably be a low scoring field position type game, even without a hurricane

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

They have a lot of experience due to the extra Covid season. I feel like their ceiling in the ACC is 5th, but they should be able to finish at least 8th and go bowling.

Their offense isn't all that great. Defense is pretty good, LB in particular. They're a solid team overall.

It's kind of like playing Pitt. ND should win but it has the potential to be a street fight.

NCST has a long history of giving heart burn to ACC contenders. We are 1-2 against them only beating them at ND Stadium. If we show up flat I may have an aneurism.

That sucks.

I'll go on with the rest of my day, and probably won't be sober in doing so.

 

[TheFreemanEra]

So much for a trap game. These guys look awful.

Excellent. How has Armstrong looked?

They don’t look good…….can‘t wait to see ND drive into Raleigh with the heavy machinery.

 

[Rockin’Irish]

Had some decent scrambles but not sharp in the passing game.

Thanks! Know he had a rough 2022 but had a strong 2021 year. Any other thoughts on NCST when ND plays them soon? Appreciate it.

It shouldn’t be close lol. UCONN is giving them all they can handle.

The defense actually doesn’t look all that great…….which is surprising with so much returning production. UConn isn’t an offensive juggernaut either. UConn has scored on an 18 and a 71 yard run by the same RB.

Sounds good thanks! I do like the fact that is a day game. Feeling better about ND being undefeated going into the Ohio St clash but will take it 1 game at a time, of course. Eager to see what McCord looks like for Ohio St Sat.

 

[Crazy Balki]

Yeah, I saw nothing to indicate to me that ND should struggle at all with them.

UConn ran at will on them. Over 6 yards per carry. They couldn't stop them from running, but they were fortunate that UConn's passing game was woefully pathetic.

 

[NDPhilly]

Armstrong scrambling about the only thing that scares me about them.

 

[ACamp1900]

They beat UCONN!?!?? No. Hope.
