Halftime - NC State 14, USF 0
What the heck was with NC State's lingering on the field at the end of the half. Did they forget football has two halves? Maybe that will fire up the Bulls - Lord knows they need something.
Promising drives with no scoring - that's becoming an unfortunate trademark for USF. We haven't seen one of those atrocious goal-line stumbles, but we haven't gotten that far either.
And I'd love to say that USF needs to stop being conservative before the deficit gets bigger, but that would mean Julmiste throwing the ball. I'd love for him to prove me wrong, but he had most of the year to do that. If Leavitt is even thinking about playing Carlton Hill, the first drive of the second half might be the time.
Why is it that USF always tosses in a few successful option plays early and then seems to forget it's even in their playbook?
And as usual, the first couple of drives in the second half could very well decide the whole game for USF. NC State doesn't score much on offense, so if USF can get even the slightest thing going they could certainly make a comeback. This looks like the West Virginia game, but NC State is not West Virginia.
