NC State Football: Helmet Schedule Shows Potential—for Disaster

Contributor Written on June 08, 2008

Wolfpack Fans, no matter what O'Brien has up his sleeve—this year is going to be interesting.

The schedule seems to me to present a very volatile situation, where if you are legit—you could flourish. It could also be a disaster if you are anything less.

The home opener at Carter-Finley Stadium is Saturday, Sept. 6.

I guess it goes without saying that out of conference games are a must-win in football. But sandwiched between road games at two historic football powerhouses in South Carolina and Clemson make it critical.

Come back home and take a week off against long time rival ECU—not an option.

Then you get a nice home non-conference breather against a no name University of South Florida team...keep telling yourself that right up through halftime when you wish you were at home watching golf.

CarterFinley.com has a Wolfpack helmet schedule where you can quickly see how important winning on the road against local competition will be. You can't afford to drop a surprise game against anyone when your final three home games are against FSU, WFU, and Miami.

Duke always finds a way to play State tough—and this year will be the toughest in many many years. The Tarheels will probably just concede a win to the Pack too. (additional sarcasm)

There is little room for error this year and the potential for disaster. I will be there hoping that we have moved into another era.
