- If we create one-on-one blocks for 5 guys, one of them has to get to the quarterback.

Dave Doeren’s Press Conference After Wake Forest: BULLETED
Head Coach Dave Doeren met with the media for his postgame press conference after NC State lost to Wake Forest 44-10 today. You can watch the video here, or read a bulleted breakdown below.
Turnover on kickoff at the beginning…
- That was a bad situation for us to be in on defense, obviously.
- The whole first quarter didn’t go our way.
- Didn’t get off the field on third down.
- Field position was pretty critical in this football game on the road and we didn’t have any.
- Had 99 yards, 97 and 98.
- Their punter did a tremendous job pinning us deep.
Devin Leary…
- He made some good throws.
- In a difficult situation being down 21-0, and they were able to defend the coverages at that point.
- You get up on somebody by three scores, you don’t have to defend the run the way you would in a tight game.
- He was facing Cover-2 a lot on 1st & 2nd down, which isn’t normal for Wake Forest.
- Did some bad things too & it’s going to be a great game for him to learn from.
- Tough way to learn, but Devin just keeps fighting.
- A lot of fight in this game.
- Our guys didn’t quit.
- I like the way they responded in the 2nd quarter, but didn’t do enough obviously to get back in it.
- Some good things in there.
Bouncing Back After This…
- We’ve just got to get better. A lot to fix.
- I can’t even look at the score right now.
- We got 10 penalties and 3 turnovers.
- We had some more get injured today.
- What can we do to help them be in the best place mentally & physically, and put together a plan that they can go out and execute.
- It doesn’t matter who we play, it’s just us getting better, and if you do that, the young football team we have, who knows what could happen.
- We just need some good things to happen and a lot of guys were dropping passes and that didn’t help ourselves one bit.
Injuries…
- It’s code red. We’ve got a lot of guys out.
- There was 11 starters out when we got to this game, & I don’t know the status on any of those guys that got hurt.
- We’re down to the bottom in some position groups.
- Jordan Houston really played well today. Probably the best I’ve seen him run.
- Trent Pennix did some things, so I hope he’s ok.
- There was a lot of guys out.
Wake’s O in the 1st Quarter…
- They converted on 3rd down 3 times in one drive.
- Had them at 3rd and long 3 times.
- They just converted. They made plays and we didn’t.
- It wasn’t anything that they did. They have good receivers & had a lot of time to throw.
- I don’t think we pressured them or beat them with our pressures.
- Their O-line picked it up pretty easy.
- We didn’t get to the quarterback a whole lot today, and that’s something that we have done well.
- You’ve got to give them credit. An experienced offense operating at a high level.
- There’s a reason they’re where they’re at statistically in the ACC.
- They’re competing against a bunch of young guys right now who are trying to do the best that they can do.
- We’ve got to do better.
