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.
