No film or anything…but watched the abbreviated game so I’ll give you guys my thoughts since it seems to be the hot topic.

Unlike the UGA game, we played a ton of man. We are playing catch technique rather than pressing most of the time. We had some concerning coverage busts.

NC State ran a vertical, corner, and flat route out of trips…corner carried vertical but Barnes and LB both covered the flat (this is on Barnes). He almost got a finger on it.

One that particularly irked me…NC State ran the follow concept. WR ran vertical…both the FS and corner ran with it. They ran a wheel/follow behind it and a flat route in front. The secondary completely screwed poor Barrett Carter…who passed off the follow to defend the flat.

NC state used motion on nearly every snap to slow us down. Smart on their part. They had a good plan and I think their OL is pretty good.
