I have questions, and NC State has answers, plus stuff that leads to additional questions. With one week done, I'm curious to see where the screws have been tightened, and what may begin to emerge as a season-long problem (or strength!). A few things worth watching:
1. Yes, hello, front seven, it's me, Steven.
A handful of chunk plays from Troy marred what was otherwise a decent performance by NC State's defense, but still we didn't hear much from the guys at the point of attack. Kentavius Street had a nice play on the first series of the game, and Eurndraus Bryant made a nice stuff later on, but State didn't provide consistent pressure behind the line of scrimmage, and we didn't hear the linebackers' names called very much.
