I thought about just saying “don’t turn the ball over”, but the truth is that a turnover (or heaven forbid two) can be generally overcome as long as the Wolfpack have fewer of them than Syracuse at the end of the game.
Let’s be real, though. NC State will most likely be starting their backup QB in this one.
Now maybe Dave Doeren and Tim Beck were playing 4D chess against Florida State last week in how they ran (uhh... literally) the offense once Jack Chambers came in the game in place of Devin Leary. Perhaps they purposefully avoided passing plays and chose a vanilla, ball-control offense to limit exposing the plays that Chambers does best while helping to salt away a victory over the Seminoles.
