Dave Doeren’s Postgame Press Conference After FSU: BULLETED
Head Coach Dave Doeren met with the media last night in his postgame press conference after NC State fell 31-13 to Florida State in their 2019 ACC opener on the road. You can watch it here, or check out a bulleted breakdown below.
- Weird feeling after this game, you know?
- Really proud of the way our defensive kids battled.
- Struggled offensively in a lot of ways.
- Bailey Hockman came in and competed.
- Devin Leary came in and did some really good things at the end of the game.
- Our run game is more than adequate, but we’ve got to be able to throw the football better. That’s what we’ve got to work on.
- Defensively, there was a lot of improvement.
- Just out there too much.
- Biggest negative for them was not being able to get a takeaway.
- Pressured the quarterback
- Stopped the run.
- Offensively we mounted a lot of drives that never ended up in touchdowns
- Unfortunately, we had a couple players injured. Taking its toll on us.
- Taiyon Palmer and Ricky Person.
- Florida State did a nice job
- A lot to work on in the bye week. Look forward to it.
- Our guys battled and had a good energy about them tonight.
- Just weren’t able to score enough points.
Not finishing drives…
- Whether it’s penalties or drops, it’s about execution.
- Got to make plays.
- Whether it’s a throw not being on target…dropping a pass…a five-yard penalty setting you back
QB Situation…
- Hockman and Leary give us the ability to throw downfield.
- Put Hockman in earlier than we planned.
- Matt McKay was not doing what I thought he was going to do.
- Obvious he was off.
- At this point, didn’t have time to wait anymore.
- I love him to death. Great young man, but it’s 1 thing when you’re not completing the ball down field…it’s another when you’re not completing it underneath.
- He just didn’t give us what we needed tonight, and Bailey came in and competed and Devin did the same.
- Devin’s performance might complicate things. He looked great. Proud of him.
D-Line…
- They weren’t throwing the ball immediately like some of the teams we’ve been playing.
- Had a little more time.
- Obviously the coverage at times was closer to the receivers, where the Defensive Line or pass rushers have a chance.
- They played well. 1st half…really, really well.
