NC State Still Has So Much To Play For

It’s gut check time for this NC State football team.

There’s no time for pity parties. There’s no time for a “loss-hangover.”

Sure, they should have beaten South Carolina. Sure, they played better than Clemson on Saturday, and still walked out with an L.

But they still have so much to play for.

Their team goal is 1Pack1Goal, and that one goal is to be a championship team. That possibility isn’t as likely anymore, but it isn’t out of the realm of possibilities. They can’t make Florida State beat Clemson, but they can take care of their business and beat Boston College, Wake Forest and UNC.

Say Clemson beats FSU next week, and nullifies their chances of representing the Atlantic Division in the ACC Championship Game. Guess what?

They still have a ton to play for.

Do you know how many NC State football teams have ever won 9 football games in a season? Only 10. This team could be the 11th.

2010 – 9-4
2002 – 11-3
1994 – 9-3
1992 – 9-3-1
1991 – 9-3
1978 – 9-3
1974 – 9-2-1
1973 – 9-3
1967 – 9-2
1927 – 9-1

This is easy to figure out from the above data, but how many Wolfpack teams have ever won 10 games?

Only 1 (2002), and this team could be the second.
