NC State at Miami (-14.5)

[ddann]

Just like every other QB we’ve faced this year right?

Seriously.

This is 2025. Opposing QBs haven’t been the problem. Sluggish inconsistency on offense along with turnovers have been the problem.

Not worried about an opponent’s QB looking like a Heisman contender until the Pitt game and their Kenny Pickett 2.0.

NC State does literally nothing exceptionally well on defense. Honestly not one single thing.

This might be the worst defense we've faced, and yes that includes Cuse and Stanford.

They are 100th in pressure rate
They are 126th in missed tackle rate
They are 107th in yards after contact
They are 81st in yards allowed after the catch
They are 126th in defensive YPP allowed
They are 83rd in yards per carry allowed
They are 116th in yards per pass allowed
They are 119th in scoring defense
They are 112th in sacks per game

I can go on and on. I really think this could be the worst defense we've played the entire season except for Bethune.

If we don't score 35+ on Saturday, it's going to be probably the most disappointing game of the season, in my eyes. As pathetic as Louisville and SMU were, those defenses are competent in some areas. Louisville has a pretty good defense overall, SMU has a very good DL and have done a very good job up front all season.

NC State is just terrible at every single level. Even this braindead offensive operation should be able to play "Pin the Tail on the Playsheet" and score 35 points.

"Bet." - the entire Hecht

 

[LMCane]

O/U 55.5

Implying a score of 35-20.

Commence with the “free money” posts.

the easiest money ever!!

Those numbers look baaaaad. Lemme ask you something, has anyone tried LETTING IT RIP against their defense yet?

I so want to be proved wrong every week

 

[Cknucks305]

Some good lols in here

 

[The U is back to work]

The money line at -650 is one of the biggest we've seen this year. Spread and money line very close to what the USF game was.

NC state got a bunch of injuries or what?

 

[mosthated305]

No clue but for comparison from what I can see UM was double digits against SMU but moneyline was like -315

Just took a look at SeatGeek. Club level seats available for under 50 bucks. Not looking like a strong crowd to end the season.

 

[YLCANE]

Homers betting cowboys no matter what the line is

ND was favored by 22.5 against NCSt and won by 29.

But they were only up 10-7 at half time and then ended up outscoring them 26-0 in the second half.

CJ Carr has thrown for over 300 yards twice this year. 354 yards against Arkansas and 342 yards against NCSt.

ND only averaged 3.7ypc against NCST but 10.7ypa passing.

If we don't throw to establish the run, it'll be pretty maddening. Which I guess I still kind of expect unfortunately.

This is definitely the game to #letitrip.

 

[Hoyacane1620]

Dawson needs to use that bag of tricks this week. Start off with something. Get NCST off balance.

And for god’s sake, someone keep Mario away from Dawson and Mirabal. Let Dawson run the offense

 

[Cane44]

LET IT RIP..... Style point the **** out of these games..... We go out and slaughter these last 3 teams, and it'll help the committee forget about two barely losses....
