Here's what Dave said about the receivers:
Yeah, we gotta play the guys who are playing hard. So...I mean... very, very, very few bright spots, but I thought some of our young receivers went out there and made plays. Horatio Fields, Wesley Grimes, and Deuce Alexander were more productive than our starting receivers. They went out there and made plays, so, you know, maybe we have to play those guys more. To me, they flashed...it was late in the game, but they did some really good things...I don't mind us losing the game...I don't want us to lose our way and our culture, and today, I haven't seen a mess like that in years....Florida State game was not good...this was worse than not good...this was non-competitive
Yeah I don't think they're in a good place...these guys are used to going out there and getting open and having the ball delivered to them, and whether it's our struggles at quarterback or some of our protection issues, that hasn't happened this year, and after ten weeks, that can start to wear on you, but as a competitor you gotta go out there and compete....I thought there were contested catches today that I would expect our guys to make. As a wide receiver, if you get one on one coverage and a chance to make a play on the ball, that's all you can ask for....When you're playing a team like NC State and they are bringing an extra defender...you have to make contested catches.
