Jessie Bates is a stud. I did not realize we play a 4-2-5 with 3 safeties.
I predict NC State favored by 3

I don't know why but before I saw him I figured Jessie Bates was a scrappy white guy. Dude is a beast out there.
And IU was missing both starting OL on the right side. But...we win big with Hinton and Carney.
We've only been playing it for 3 years now.:thumbsup:
Seriously though the pass defense has been suspect. Watson is a good corner, no Kevin Johnson though. Henderson is getting picked on a good bit, hopefully he continues to get better. I think Bates is definitely going to be a big time player for us, already is really.
What's the issue with Dionte Austin? I didn't realize he was injured..
I wondered that too, is he in fact I injured?
I thought he was safety, Dallas Cowboys, Bill Bates, son. Oops.
He played.
He was definitely on the sidelines in uniform/pads. I thought he played pretty well last year for true frosh, especially considering how slight he was. I am pretty sure he didn't have a game as bad as Henderson did today.

Austin got beat for one of the long plays down the sideline.
He played a gutsy game, but not a particularly good game. 16-29 for 172, missed a few passes, was bailed out on the TD catch by Wade. He made just enough plays to win. But let's not kid ourselves. We got 5 ints and a blocked FG and still had to recover an onside kick to win. A large part of that was his inability to consistently move the ball down the field.
Wolford is a tough, gutsy kid. His game isn't pretty, but with more confidence he could prove to be more effective than anyone expects. His runs were huge today.
Hinton is better, but Wolford deserves a ton of credit for his play today.
