Wrong team is favored here in my opinion. I think NC State is getting too much credit for what they did at UCF which was not impressive to me at all. Russel Wilson their star just 10/30 for 105 yards. That's supposed to be the strength of the team and it was not the reason they won as they only snuck by 28-21 even though they forced 5 turnovers and had a block punt. I'm concerned about NC State in this spot against a Cinci front 7 that absolutely will make you pass. They have shut down the running games of Fresno State just 1.6 ypc and Fresno is one of the better running teams in recent years. Cinci will get a much needed win here tonight as NC State's experience on the offensive line as they had five offensive linemen that had never started a game and two running backs that never been in a college football game. You have to have a balance to beat a good team and they can't have a balance and I wouldn't be surprised if Cinci with their new 4-3 defense gets at Wilson. This alignment has produced 12 sacks.

NC State's defense was great a week ago shutting down UCF and forcing turnovers. With that said Zach Collaros does not turn the ball over and NC State will have a tough time preparing for this team. First week they threw it 41 times and although not that successful Collaros did not throw an interception. Last week against Indiana State, yes Indiana State they got the running game going for more than 260 yards without their feature back. Isaiah Pead is expected to return giving NC State a fuzzy idea on how to defend the Bearcats. Bottom line I think Collaros can be great in this offense and they have the weaopons in Armon Binns and DJ Woods. This is an easier game than visiting Fresno State in my opinion as they had to go out west to play a good team. NC State off to a good start and the public and the lines have proven that, but I still think they are going to struggle in this spot.

Where to find Freddy?
