"Eugene and defense continue to impress"

Raleigh, NC- NC State looked to continue their hot streak against the struggling Boston College Eagles. "When your hot, your hot. Why would you want to stop?" says Jamelle Eugene prior to the game. And talk about being hot. Eugene has already rushed for more than 500 yards and has over 100 receiving yards. "I just try to do the best for my team. When they call my number, I go in there and do my job and right now...Im doing my job" said Eugene.
The first half of the Boston College versus NC State game turned into a big defensive battle. The only touchdown came from a 78 yard interception return by senior captain Jeremy Gray. "Man, when I saw that ball come my way, my eyes got all big. I knew that if I would have caught that, I would be gone" said Jeremy Gray. Gray is the definition of a lockdown corner for NC State.

The Eagles, however, could not keep up their end of the defensive battle in the second half, as NCSU scored twice in third quarter. One was a field goal and one was a 43 yard touchdown pass to Donald Bowens from Daniel Evans.
NC State was able to wrap up the game in the fourth, although they allowed the Eagles to get on the board. NC State pushed their record up to 5-1 as they head to their bye week. "Im proud of this team, they've showed the world what hard work can get you. They have earned this bye week" said O'Brien. The Wolfpack better enjoy the break because they have their date with destiny on Thursday October 16th, when the 14th ranked Seminoles of Florida State make an appearance in Carter Finley. Tickets are in limited supply so hurry up and grab them while you can.

Grade:A+; With a record of 5-0 and a national ranking of #14, Florida State appears to be the head of the class once again.
Grade:A+; Behind an amazing defense, GT has put themselves back on the map. An undefeated record and a national ranking. Led by sophomore QB Josh Nesbitt many believe GT will battle for the ACC title this year.
Grade:A; Other than a heart-breaking 24-23 loss to USC, the Virginia Cavaliers have been nothing but remarkable. They are 2-0 in conference play and have only allowed 64 total points.
Grade:A-; After a key win against Clemson, the Terrapins have put themselves in good position in the ACC. But tough losses to MTSU and UVA have them just a little behind the elite's of the conference.
Grade:A-; After a tough one point loss at home to Maryland, the Tigers have dropped for the top of the ACC. But everyone knows that Clemson is still probably the best team in the conference. Look for them to be back in it by season's end.
Grade:A; Honestly, who thought that NC State would be here at this point in time. Some key upsets over South Carolina and South Florida have put them here and they were 16 seconds from being undefeated at this point. 
Grade:B-; Everyone though that Virginia Tech would be in the hunt for the ACC title once again. But after losses to Georgia Tech and Nebraska, it will be tough for the Hokies to make it back to the title game.
Grade:C; With a tough early schedule its understandable that Miami is 2-3, but to loss to both in state rivals and to loss to Texas A&M, things are not looking up for the Hurricanes. Maybe next year.
Grade:C-; Many thought that Wake had a chance to win the ACC this year but following losses to Ole Miss and Florida State, those chances are pretty much out the window.
Grade:C-; Well Tar Heel fans, basketball season is right around the corner. 3 losses in a row has UNC at the bottom of the ranks in the ACC.
Grade: D; Even with the school being represented on the cover of the game, these Eagles are not flying high. Losses to GT, UCF and NCSU has them barely out of last place.
Grade: D; Well at least Duke has a win. Basketball season can not get here soon enough for some.
