NC State football 'laid an egg' vs Tennessee, shows it's not ready to be 'elite'

Posted Sep 8, 2024
N.C. State football coach Dave Doeren had a clear message at ACC Kickoff in late July. “We don't want to be good, we want to be the best at what we do,” Doeren said of the expectations surrounding the Wolfpack. “We want to be elite." A few months later, Doeren’s squad showed in a measuring-stick game against No. 14 Tennessee that it didn’t measure up. (Fayetteville Observer)
