Bailey Hockman After Wake: BULLETED

Quarterback Bailey Hockman spoke with the media after NC State’s season opening 45-42 victory over Wake Forest last night. You can watch it here, or check out the BULLETED breakdown below.

• We are 1-0.
• My mindset coming into the game was just to focus & lock in, do my part and not try to be Superman.
  • I felt like I did that tonight.
• My teammates did a great job.
  • O-line blocked great
  • 250+ yards rushing. That’s incredible.
• Coach Beck was calling great plays.
  • He did a great job calling play-action at the right time with the right coverage.
• When the run game is working, you can get those fakes and get the linebackers coming up and it makes it easy for me.
• This offense is dangerous, that’s a great word.
  • When we start having to throw the ball more and more, it’s just going to be more effective because we start spreading the ball around the field, they have to spread out and the run game gets going and our offensive line is bigtime.
• The team has come so close together, everything is just rolling all together…like a ball rolling down a hill.
• Found out I was starting last week.
  • Coach Beck sat me down and talked to me.
• Devin’s done a great job also. So much credit to him. He’s a great player.
  • It’s a competition, and at the end of the day I’m just happy to be the guy for this team.
• In my mind, I’ve been the starter since day one.
