Following NC State defense surrendering 59 points to Clemson in 59-35 loss Saturday in North Carolina’s state capital NC State Head Coach Dave Doeren had this to say!
“It looked like we were on our heels. I’m not sure why,”
“Obviously, they had a bye week. They had some new things, but we didn’t use the rules of our system well. We’ve got to be better than that. That’s not who we are on defense. I know Coach (Tony) Gibson is sick to his stomach right now about it, and you know the film’s going to tell us a lot.”
Give Clemson credit, they outplayed us today, you know?“When that happens, they out-coached us. Like I’ve always said, it starts and ends with me, and we’ve got to get better. No, we’re not going to panic. We’re 2-2. There’s a lot of football left in the season. We do have some good players, and we need to get back to playing better.”
