2012 Week 5
We're back in the top 25 after our huge win over North Carolina. We're #24 in the nation.
Recruiting
I'm slowly feeling better about recruiting this year. We've made great headway with 4* TE Cory Moore, he's got us #1 now. It's still going to be a big stretch to pull in more than 8 or 9 of our initial targets, which is low compared to the last few years.

Week 5 Game
#24 NC state (3-1, 1-1 ACC) at Georgia Tech (1-2, 0-1 ACC)
Lee has Tech winning this one. Kirk is on our side though. Tech's ACC loss came at Va Tech. Tech is rated 79 overall, slightly lower than us.
1st: 3-0 NCSU (6 passes, 10 runs) <-- that's the first time i've ever broken my rule
I've got the ball, and throw it away on 2nd down like the house rules state to open the 2nd.
2nd: 20-14 NCSU (14 passes, 15 runs) <-- crazy 2nd quarter. Each team had a pick 6, and each team broke a 40+ yard run for a TD. We added an extra FG to go up 6.
3rd: 27-21 NCSU (23 passes, 25 runs)
We score early in the 4th to go up 34-21. Ga Tech, however, returns the kickoff back for a touchdown, cutting it to 34-28. We are unable to score on our next drive, and Tech puts together a huge 15 play drive. We're just not able to stop them, and tech goes up 35-34. An INT on our last drive ends the game. Tech gets a TD with 6 seconds left instead of kneeling. Assholes.
Glennon: 19-30, 146 yards, 1 TD, 3 INT
Carter: 24 carries, 143 yards, 1 TD
Brown: 6 rec, 67 yards, 1 TD
Georgia Tech 42
#24 NC State 34
