TVD was definitely impressive. But don't make this out to be more then it is. He had a lot of time to throw the ball against a not very good NC State defense. We'll see next week what he does against a much better pitt D.
"One of the best defenses in the nation." I'd say that's the same as saying, "great defenses." NC State has played mostly bad offenses(S.FLA, Furman, LA Tech, Clemson) and they had several key defensive starters out for UM.
