NC State's Home Opener under the Friday Night Lights

Now, having said that, everybody's going to be tailgating.

Everyone's going to have a good time.

Need that good time to continue into Richmond.

Mike, this is a true or false? This is a run it up game.

This is the spread is, I think, 31 and a half.

This is a win by 50, win by 60.

Keep it rolling.

I think, yeah, you keep the foot on the pedal the whole game to kind of, I wouldn't say the whole game, but like midway through the fourth.

You know, the way things went the first week, I think you are this – I don't want to call it a statement game, but like – You can't just go out there and win by two touchdowns or something like this.

You are out there to prove to yourself, prove to everyone else that what happened at Virginia is not who we are, and we're going to let ourselves know and let our fan base know and the rest of college football, not that everyone's clued into this NC State-Richmond game, but the upcoming opponents, let them know maybe Virginia was just a misstep and not who they are.

august 29th week zero september 11th is friday against against richmond and and i mean you brought it up right virginia was 34 to 8 you get another opportunity i don't know if you've ever had a like a buy that early it's weird

yeah

uh but what does that two weeks

mean i'm sure the it kind of felt a little bit like training camp i'm sure there was a little bit of get away from football but Definitely let's get this bad taste out of our mouth.

Let's get back on the grass and practice a little.

Fundamentals, kind of back to the basics, and I'm sure it felt a lot like what a training camp practice was.

There's probably a little bit of intensity.

Sometimes in bi-weeks, you kind of want to get the body right, but this one might have been Um, we need to establish who we are and a little bit more of a physical practice and what a bi-week typically was.

So, uh, I'm sure that there were eager to get back to a game week and eager to get back on the field tomorrow night.

I was kind of joking about it, right? The whole pissed off thing.

Dave Doran said both he and CJ Bailey are pissed off.

Uh, A little bit of that is the Dave Doran way of dealing with things, but, like, correct emotion, right? Like, you should be that angry and also...

you need to translate that into fixing things, right? Like that's why kind of I started with they should run it up on them.

Like there needs to be some real like tension that needs to be

released.
