Four Downs: NC State

College football's modern era is defined by its speed. Every team is going faster, creating game situations with video game numbers. It's an offensive sport defined by athletes designed to make more and more plays. Coaches aren't ignoring defenses, but the not-so-halcyon days of Buddy Ryan criticizing "chuck and duck" offenses are long gone.

Every school employs its own unique take on football's evolution, and Boston College is no different. The Eagles utilize elements of where the sport changed with a no-huddle offense capable of going at warp speed, but the coaching staff always sought to win games by utilizing a different mindset.
