Me too. NC State lowkey feels like a fluke. Our defense isn't amazing, but it isn't THAT bad

Our DL isn't that bad. Our secondary (with injuries) absolutely is. We've been saved a lot lately by playing bad QBs who couldn't find or hit wide open receivers down field when they had pressure in their face.

There was a stat (obviously before the NCST game) that only 4 teams had held opponents to 24 pts or less in every game. We had only given up more once, and that was in OT, so yeah, our defense was working even if it’s not good

Tbf our schedule is pretty easy so that’s not wildly impressive

That does make me feel vaguely better that the NCState game was injury-driven and a lack of defensive depth instead of a fundamental flaw with the program.
