8 TFLs for the defense on 65 plays for NC State. Got them in critical moments too.
The way they got obliterated and him already being on the hot seat, there was no way for them to keep him. I also think they have a bye next week so 2 weeks for the interim to do things their way.
edit: Holy shit, they actually named Petrino as the interim hahahahaha
56-13 doesn't do justice to how bad that ass whooping was. Notre Dame was up 42-13? at half and could've probably put up another 30 or 40, but played the backups a lot
Now I want the link so I can see alternate reality
Coaching carousel claimed Sam Pittman at Arkansas today after losing 56-13 to Notre Dame

Pretty much all of this
Personally, I try to stay away from AI generated content when possible. AI sucks, it has limited uses and shouldn't be trusted to make any sort of critical decisions. It will make the rich richer and drive up electrical costs significantly for the rest of us.
Clickbait has effectively been outsourced to AI already as either it occasionally gets lucky and gets something right, or as is more often the case, it creates content that is incorrect in some way which seems to generate the most engagement on the internet. This then furthers a cycle of misinformation created by AI.
Sorry for the rant.
Just a time slip to another reality. We still won so I wouldn't worry about it.
OK, I read it's a thing. Should we be worried about something bad coming in on the game?

# | Bitter: Sr DL James Djonkam and FR DL Keyshawn Burgos are no longer with the football team There absolutely is competition for Top Medical Students, particularly in Surgical Specialties, but it is not purely monetary, mostly due to the fact that the funds used to pay for them are Government controlled and set. If not, there would definitely be bidding wars at least for certain specialties.
More to the point, there is clear economic value to someone in training being able to have "Trained at Beth Israel" on their C.V. Much like there is demonstrable economic value to having trained playing Football at a Blue Blood program like Alabama or Ohio State.
But I have a huge problem with the approach that....well the NCAA sucks, so we should just not even try to have a framework and let unsavory people like Heitner, Ruiz, et al. be the ones who set the precedent---because guess what....once there is no more money to skim from the System, those guys are gonna disappear and move onto the next scam. And we should suspend any level of logic or rationale and let players extend their eligibility indefinitely based on arguments that are patently ridiculous.
I vehemently disagree with those that support chaos as a solution to the NCAA having been a unique combination of inept and overbearing.
Bailey had incredible passing stats when he was not under pressure. NCSt just could not get the running game going, and made a number of baffling decisions on 3rd and 4th down. Despite having their running QB Wilson who is automatic in short yardage, they repeatedly lined up Bailey in shotgun. Vat also made a few crucial stops that killed drives. But NCSt had a TOP advantage and racked up good yardage when they weren't taking negative plays.
Still drunk from last night?
Joking aside, I can see 5, but getting to 6 means either a lot of improvement and no significant injuries for us or someone on the back half of our schedule is a pretender.
The latter seems more likely #goACC
Virginia Tech forced two turnover on downs, and when they forced punts they generally did it quickly. Of NC State's five punts, three of them failed to generate a first down. (One of them picked up a first on the first play, then proceeded to three and out.)
Their scoring drives were all 75 yards plus and took 12 plays, 12 plays, and 10 plays respectively.
VT was able to sustain drives longer (only one drive failed to pick up a first down) and were able to convert field goals when getting over midfield.
It doesn't show in the advanced numbers, but getting the 4th down stop on 4th and 1 at the VT 38 in the first drive of the second quarter was probably the most pivotal sequence, and where this easily could have been the collapse moment. If we don't get that stop then we're likely to go down two scores after barely five minutes of possession. Instead, we the ball and grind out a nearly 5 minute 62 yard scoring drive to take the lead.
Maybe he never stopped
Pretty crazy that NC State's success rate and EPA was so high despite scoring so little. Any thoughts on how that happened? 40% success rate is pretty decent, no?

# | Bitter: Sr DL James Djonkam and FR DL Keyshawn Burgos are no longer with the football team No one is willing to pay a resident $1m (in addition to all other costs) to come practice/train at their facility. People are willing to pay $1m for a college football player (who by your definition is just an intern or trainee or whatever) to play for their favorite college team, so their favorite college team wins, thus allowing them to brag to their coworkers, friends, etc.
That is the key difference between residents and college football players.
If you want the economic fantasy land to shut down, then don't go after the players. They just play by the rules that our government, our universities, and their respective boosters have put together.
Sorry, I kinda rushed it this morning. It is overall success rate by quarter. That should be each quarter and game total. Will update in datawrapper in a minute.

# | Virginia Tech at North Carolina State Game Time, TV Info, and Open Thread 10-3 baby!
VT has 5 games - GT, Louisville, Miami, FSU, UVA - are looking pretty challenging right now. 6 wins means that we have to beat 2 of these teams (plus Cal and Wake - both of whom will put up a fight). It's possible that some of those teams are not as good as we think they are based on the available data, but that seems tough.
Honestly, if Monty can lead this team to beat GT, Miami, and UVA, AND he's willing to work a GM, and in the frame of this 'new era' athletic department, then I'm super open to dropping the interim tag
We'll see... lots of football left to be played.
Can you explain the first chart? I think the bars are mislabeled?
This is why we love you.

# | Bitter: Sr DL James Djonkam and FR DL Keyshawn Burgos are no longer with the football team The residency analogy is irrelevant because there's not millions of fans willing to cumulatively pay billions for bragging rights.
There are millions of people that require Healthcare and only a select qualified few who have the requisite skills to provide it. The 2024 U.S. Healthcare budget was $5.3 Trillion which dwarfs the amount of money spent on recreational, college, and pro sports.
Then we can talk about medical cosmetics (Botox and the like) which are completely voluntary procedures which there are absolutely millions willing to pay for ---generally out of pocket as they are not covered by Insurance. They are collectively paying Billions in their disposable income to have Crows feet disappear for 90 days or so, among other procedures.
The only part that is irrelevant is that it doesn't fit the narrative you are weaving.
Yeah can't believe Petrino is getting another shot with all his personal BS in the past. Vroom vroom
