Defense- Saturday is huge for the new look defense! This shake-up will go a long way in saying whether we have guys capable of playing shut-down defense like we played last year or whether we are just inept at executing Gibson's defensive standard this year. I'm looking for aggression, and meanness. That's the mindset of a defensive stalwart! I'm looking for 11 defensive players not willing to allow the opponent any opportunities for success. I'm looking for focused guys, committed to making game changing plays; interceptions, fumble recoveries, pick 6s, QB sacks, etc. That's how you produce winning outcomes such as the ones Tennessee and Clemson achieved. I'm looking for 11 guys that want to the best defensive unit in college football. I'm hoping Coach Doeren has finally found them.
Offense- We went to the dealership with a load of NIL money last year and purchased a couple of Porsche 918 Spyders, a Bugatti, an Aston Martin One-77, and some Lamborghini's. I'm tired of admiring the hot ride selection from the sideline. Yes, it's an amazing assortment of vehicles (ROGERS, COLLINS, WATERS, JOLY, CONCEPCION, SMOTHERS, GRIMES, KAUFMAN, RAPHAEL, etc.) to get you from one end of the endzone to the other. Now, I need to see Coach Anae drive them into the endzone at full speed, pedal to the metal, spinning tires, making a lot of noise, fast, and frequently.
We should have a 'MUST WIN' attitude in every game the rest of the way. Every game is the most important game of the season. As you suggested, pull out the playbook, play everyone, whatever it takes. I've got a lot of respect for the coaching staff, I'm sure they feel the same way.
I’m always excited to watch the pack, it’s like Christmas every year!!! We are either going to win or looking ahead to a new coach, Either one is a surprise!! Merry Christmas
As far as prediction, it’s hard to imagine us winning by more than 10 points, very surprised by Mr. Gibbs prediction, but I hope he’s right. With our situation, I would take one point.
I think it’s very similar to the Marshall game last year somewhat close but we get out of there 31-23 and then the train starts rolling. 10 wins isn’t off the table yet. Someone just needs to light one hell of a fire under our defenses’ ass
Now that we have an established QB that was able to sharpen his wide-ranging skills against the iron defensive unit of the Clemson Tigers, we should see the offense in its full glory for 4 quarters. And now that Coach Doeren has allegedly put in a defensive unit with a winner's mentality, we should see the standards of excellence rise to that level, guys that play shut down defense with the expectation of winning.
Call me crazy, but I’m still excited for tomorrow. I’m not gonna give up on this team’s hope for the season yet. I believe the team has gotten the severe reality check they desperately needed and are gonna start playing like the team we know they can be. I guess I’ll find out how crazy I am tomorrow.
It’s only crazy if it doesn’t work! Time to find out what this team learned this week. They’ve been humbled 3 times by my count. Show us a response this week!
Dammit Grayson, if your scenario for the game plays out I dont know if I can handle it. I am with you though. This team has given us zero reason for confidence. For all that is sacred on the earth, just play better.
These 5th , 6th , 7th and 8th year players know that they're not going to the NFL or UFL. That's why they're (unsuccessfully) trying to hold colleges hostage. It's not just UNLV but here at NCSU. Play the freshman CJ Bailey not 6th Grayson.
It’s an interesting concept to follow. NIL has the potential to make guys a little ~too~ comfortable in their spot. That leads to complacency, that leads to poor performance…. xyz
I don’t think Belton is good, maybe last year, but this year he is making countless mistakes. Maybe we actually find a younger lineman that can get the job done. In fact, I’d like to see several new faces out there playing. Best 11 both sides of the ball. Great show guys!

Very interested to see what changes were made in the personnel. Think a couple guys got wake up calls once they returned to Raleigh last weekend

😂😂 serious horsepower
@LockedOnWolfpack YES sir!
I agree it is absolute time to use all the wide receivers
Long overdue!
Grayson, I can’t believe you actually said “hawk tuah,” and with a straight face. 🤣
I saw my opportunity and took it 😂
@@LockedOnWolfpack 🤣🤣🤣

Coaches and Team know what’s at stake. The time is now
Time for this wolfpack team to step up tomorrow period
Begging for a complete effort

Christmas in September. Let’s find out who’s in the holiday spirit tomorrow

Buckle up, folks. It’s gonna be a tight matchup
Good comment about the o- line needing confidence they are going be the key to the offense in this game
100%
Kenton has me saying "with that being said" at home and when I do my mom always says "say less". 🤣
😂😂😂😂
Good Morning My Friends! 😁
Good Morning Katy!
I have NCSU 28, NIU 17. I think the Wolfpack wins this one especially when CJ Bailey distributes the ball beyond just KC.
Big game for CJ’s continued development this year. Establish that chemistry with the WR corps and begin to unlock the Offense
I think we'll see a complete performance Saturday. If not...🥺
We’re begging for one at this point. 0/4 to start the season. We’re due!
@@LockedOnWolfpack This team is too talented not to turn it around. Is it chemistry? 🤔

Prepare yourself for a close one. I truly think NIU will give us all we can handle. About to find out what this team has learned so far this season
Money is root to all evil that's what MoMA said. Some are playn for the money, not the love the pack.
And when that’s the case, we’ll find out pretty quick!
I see a parallel between some NIL Babies and NFL players that get that big bag and then look like they've quit in place.

He’s making a shocking amount of undisciplined mistakes for a guy that was supposed to be a rock on the OLine. He’s gotta get it together quickly
I hope it's not the Marshall game of last year, because the Duke game followed that!! Lol
I’m banking on the idea that this year’s Clemson loss was last year’s Duke loss
Is CJ starting?
Yes
