Following NC State’s 45-24 loss to Notre Dame on Saturday September 9, 2023 in North Carolina’s state capital NC State Head Coach Dave Doeren had this to say!
I think this was a turning point of the game I really do . Obliviously the next three drives result in touchdowns for them and turnovers for us . We just didn’t get it done . Every time we got momentum back, Notre Dame answered. You have to give them credit and we have to learn from that.
It’s a great learning opportunity on complimentary football . We talk about that ad nausam here., but I think all of us know sometimes something has to actually happen verses being said for a lesson to be learned .’’
The best way to forget about Saturday, he added is to prepare for the weekend and try to respond again.
There was a true sense of anger in the team room yesterday, because they know that they’re better then what they showed in that game.

Following Virginia Military Institute (VMI)13-21 loss to Bucknell on Saturday September 9, 2023 Head Coach Danny Rocco had this to say about the 21-13 loss to Bucknell about the defense about the offense about moving forward!
Well it was a very disappointing outcome,"
"We certainly didn't come up here thinking that we wouldn't find a way to win, but Bucknell played a really good game."
I was proud of our defensive kids and their effort all game. Bucknell had a good scheme, they had a good scheme, they had good quarterback, they had a good run plan, and they were able to get the ball down the field vertically, but our defense fought hard for the full 60."
We were big in a couple moments of the game, but we just didn't sustain any drives."
Our special teams had a great punt return for a touchdown that was nullified by a holding call and we had a blocked punt so you're not going to win many games when that happens. So we got a lot to clean up. I think the encouraging thing is how hard we fought and I felt our guys believed they'd find a way to win this thing and we just came up a little bit short."
