Team really falling apart now. Offense and defense. The 14-0 lead was nice while it lasted.
We've reverted back to all our normal tendencies which most metrics show is last in the Power 4 FBS.

Looked overly generous spot to give him first down
Review corrected it
For Gods sake stack the box
11,12,whatever it takes
Our decimated secondary takes another hit with Davis injured
Can Warren run a 2 min offense?
Like, oh, say, Andrew Luck?

Survey says... yes.

That was a total crap sandwich, but damned, were the touchdown buns on either ends some of the most impressive football we've played in a minute.

The Warren two-minute scorecard:
7 plays, 90 yards, 1 minute, 29 seconds capped with a 26-yard touchdown pass; Warren went 7/7 for 85 yards and a TD. He had a 12 yard pass for a first down, a 4 yard pass for a first down that stopped the clock when the receiver ran out of bounds, a 24-yard pass (also stopping the clock when the receiver went out of bounds), a 13 yard pass for a first down, and a 26-yard touchdown pass. It was a thing of beauty.
Moreover, we ran more time in the first three plays (60 seconds), so that even if we had to punt, it would have limited what NCState could have done, but then once we got going, it was beautiful.

It's getting later and later in the NC State players body clocks. They might nod off in the halftime locker room.

Another idea is to paint the visitor's locker room with a calming color.

Built Ford Tough with 98 yds in first half. Recipe to win game? 100 yds more in 2nd half.
Hard for them to score when Ford Tough running it.

Ha ha & some brain wave sleep audio in ceiling speakers they can’t seem to turn down
Oh no, I’m starting to think like Belichick …
Announcers prattling on about NCState OLine injuries, ad infinitum
Need to be cattle prodded to move on to calling the game regardless
Kick the Field Goal?!?

Gamble pays off
Impressive!
Offense having themselves a day.
May it continue.
Second time today we’re up 14
Fingers crossed we protect the lead better this time
Bailey, their qb, is a heck of an athlete

I’m still nervous
Cause our D hasn’t showed they can for sure keep stopping em
When their QB runs it especially exposes us

Yeah, I would have kicked the FG. Up two scores is still up two scores.
But up 14 is better than up 10.
