A few days I wrote that NC State could make statement Friday against Tennessee. Unfortunately for the Wolfpack, they made the wrong kind statement in a 35-21 to Tennessee loss that wasn’t that close. Sure the defeat looks bad for the ACC. The Wolfpack were considered a darkhorse in the ACC Atlantic, but lets not get …

North Carolina State can make a statement against Tennessee Friday Night.
As I was putting together my ACC Atlantic Division prediction, I got to NC State and for the first time in a number of years I was really paying attention to the Wolfpack. As recently as the middle of last year, I thought Tom O’Brien was going to be at best on the hotseat entering 2013 and …

The Tigers went on to defeat Florida State and …
