BSD: Coming off a disappointing loss at ECU and two beatdowns of lesser opponents, what is the general consensus of NC State fans' expectations for the season as a whole?
BTP: I'd be lying if I told you State fans weren't worried. That ECU loss really caused expectations to plummet, and truth be told it feels even worse for me now after seeing ECU get waxed by Virginia Tech. This game against Wake is vitally important if the Pack is going to have any chance of making a bowl. While the upcoming stretch doesn't appear to be nearly as tough as it did a few weeks ago, Notre Dame is still Notre Dame, and having to play on the road against Clemson and Louisville in consecutive weeks is about as brutal of a one-two punch as any team in the country has to deal with.
