This is from 1999. This is Butch's team. Not coach D's. That's the point the OP was making and it's a good one. Butch is/was a good coach, but he was far from perfect.I would guess it is like what Coach D said in the recruiting video. They must be expecting a screen and they are going to sprint at the line or they do a normal pass and play that or something. Or its photoshopped, but I doubt it.
I have no idea, I have forgotten what it is like to be winning
In a game moved to Raleigh’s Carter-Finley Stadium because of the destruction caused in Greenville by Hurricane Floyd, quarterback David Garrard helped the Pirates rally from a 20-point deficit for an emotional victory. Garrard, who completed 20 of 27 passes for 222 yards, hit Keith Stokes for a 27-yard touchdown with 4:51 left to cap the comeback and set off a celebration that will long be remembered at both ECU and N.C. State.
That's the "these guys just lost their homes to a hurricane, so let's give em a few yards to make them feel better" defense. LOL.
David Garrard was an animal for them.
Just looked it up and here's a quote on the game:

That's fair.
Honestly though, at least he was doing this 16 years ago and not, you know, last week.
I was at that game that year. That second half was a disaster. Looks like they were trying to keep everything in front of them and not get burned deep.
