I mean really, there are so many issues with this post which was intented entirely for humor.<br /><br />THIRD: I admit freely that my comments are more based on observation than statistics, and other than against South Carolina I didn't see many NC St games. It wasn't poor play as much as horrific play-calling I saw when NC St did play South Carolina. With a good player like Wilson and the bad defenses in the ACC I expect the kind of offense the stats you mentioned indicate.<br /><br />Not sure why plays were called differently in the last two season openers versus how they were called the rest of the two seasons, but I accept that I haven't seen enough games to be sure.RooftopHecklerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05962994180720808001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6835880603456015866.post-70338034586068196732010-08-04T11:04:18.849-07:002010-08-04T11:04:18.849-07:00"O'Brien also has a penchant for coaching..."O'Brien also has a penchant for coaching teams with the offensive philosophy of your average high school coach, the one that runs the ball on 3rd & 15 to the dismay of the entire stadium."<br /><br />State had the nation's 24th-best PASSING offense last season (273 ypg) and the 30th-best scoring offense (30.33 pts/game). We've got one of the most explosive playmakers in the country at QB (Russell Wilson). <br /><br />But you're a SOUTH Carolina fan, so I'm guessing the only times you've seen us play were the two games against y'all when we played so poorly offensively.
