After NC State weathered the storm, quite literally, to beat Notre Dame and followed that up with what should've been a win in Death Valley in the team's best performance under Dave Doeren, I swilled the Kool-Aid by the bucket. The offense has taken a slight step back without Jacoby Brisett, but Ryan Finley has been a capable game manager and the run game remains strong. The defense, always the Achilles' heel under Doeren and Dave Huxtable, is where the real improvement seemed to have come. The Pack entered yesterday's debacle at Louisville with the 13th best defense in the nation according to S&P+.
