He wasn't good under welsch at uva, he wasn't that good at BC, how long are we going to have to watch O'Brian run the offense into the ground

Ouch, -9 yards rushing with about 12:00 to go in the first half. Meanwhile, UCF has 136 total yards of offense. Is this game as ugly as it looks on paper?

its worse first play for ucf 80 yard touchdown run, then picked off an evans pass for a field goal then got a saftey, it ugly, and i don't have a lot of hope that it is going ot get much better

As much as I hate to say this man. State is going to be a good team. They are not going to be great this season. There is a new coach in town. The players have to buy into his system, the fans have to show up to the games (I hear it was pretty empty at Carter-Finley this past saturday), and time has to be allowed for everything to come into play. You can never expect a 9-3 season at the start of a new regime. It happens, but it's highly unlikely. You guys still have a lot of questions to be answered. And with Beck becoming the QB and Baker out now, there is a lot to work out.

Give it time, NC State is going to have a good program. As I said, I hate to say that, but they will. It's just going to be immediate. I really think you need to brace yourself for another disappointment this weekend too. There are some mad people in Boston and those players are going to play their hearts out to beat Tom O'Brien.
