RALEIGH - It's still a long shot and N.C. State is far from being a polished football machine, but the Wolfpack may yet be able to bleed a bowl bid of some sort out of this season.

With Saturday's rollicking 29-24 upset of No. 21 Virginia in Carter-Finley Stadium, the same State team that looked long gone in September is back to 3-5 overall, on a two-game win streak against solid opponents and getting progressively more confident that the winning can be extended in the four remaining chances.

And really, it's not fair to say this is the same Wolfpack team that lost successive games to Clemson, Louisville and Florida State after starting the schedule 0-2 with losses to Central Florida and Boston College.

The team that whipped Virginia doesn't have nearly as much talent and depth as the team that started the season. That earlier State team had Andre Brown and Toney Baker at running back, a much healthier defense and a faster supply of wide receivers.

But sometimes it's not entirely about depth, talent, numbers, stop watches and bench presses. Morale and attitude still can be important in college football, and State has made impressive strides in both categories.

"I'm so happy for these guys, but we can't be satisfied now," Tom O'Brien said after his first ACC win as the Wolfpack's coach. "We talked about making the most of the rest of the season, and that's what we still have to keep in mind."

It's for certain that wide receiver Donald Bowens, quarterback Daniel Evans, tight end Marcus Stone, the patched-up offensive line and almost everyone on the defensive unit are making the most of their time.

With wideout star John Dunlap sidelined by injury, 6-foot-3 Bowens, a sophomore who almost picked Virginia in recruiting, did his best to put on a Torry Holt, Jerricho Cotchery kind of performance.

Bowens' 11 receptions for 202 yards and two touchdowns weren't enough to make the record book, but it's been a while since a Wolfpack wide receiver had a better game under more difficult circumstances. He got some help from unexpected sources -- Koyal George and Owen Spencer -- but Bowens might as well have played the entire game with a target around the No. 80 on his jersey.

Evans was much the same quarterback who engineered a 34-20 win a week earlier at East Carolina. He rarely threw a poor pass, finishing with 26 completions, 347 yards and three touchdown passes.

"Daniel did a great job throwing, and Donald and Marcus went and caught everything in sight," O'Brien said. "But we got some blocking up front, too. Those guys really stayed with it."

The offensive line did its best job while double-teaming Chris Long, the Cavaliers' all-star defensive end. Long caused some trouble and pressured Evans a time or two, but he didn't disrupt the passing pocket to the extent that State had a panic pass throughout.

Long may yet win the ACC defensive player of the year award, but the loss was probably enough to throw the Cavaliers' Al Groh a step or two behind Boston College's Jeff Jagodzinski in the coach-of-the-year running.

At 4-1 in the ACC and 7-2 overall, Groh's team is still playing miles above expectations and could stay in contention for the league's Coastal Division championship all the way. The Cavaliers' three remaining games are against Wake Forest and Virginia Tech in Charlottesville and Miami on the road.

State has to make the Miami trip this week and goes to Wake on Nov. 17. Winning either game will be difficult, but the two remaining home games for the Pack are against North Carolina and Maryland, and both of those teams are struggling.

Getting to 7-5 or 6-6 will be a challenge, but at least it's still within the realm of mathematical possibilities. It's certainly a lot better than seemed possible a month ago.

INSIDE THE GAME

While N.C. State's defense has gotten healthier, better and noticeably more physical as the season has gone on, the Pack's offense has had a sudden transformation since the bye week.

In victories over East Carolina and Virginia, Daniel Evans passed for 682 yards and six touchdowns -- the kind of numbers Philip Rivers once put up -- while completing 55 of 90 pass attempts, with just two interceptions. Donald Bowens, a sophomore with some flash to his game, has 16 receptions for 295 yards in the two victories. Twelve different players have caught passes.

Evans, who threw for a career-high 347 yards in the 29-24 win over the Cavaliers, credits offensive coordinator Dana Bible for the increased production. Evans said the Pack has not made a big strategic change, however. The team just decided to go more to the deep ball.

"Coach Bible is getting us in a rhythm, that's the biggest thing, and helping our tempo," Evans said. "Before, our tempo wasn't good. But now we're keeping everything going, and our drives keep extending."

Another plus for the Pack (3-5, 1-3 ACC) has been the second-effort running of tailback Jamelle Eugene, who rushed for a career-high 112 yards against the Cavs.

Defensively, safety DaJuan Morgan said the Pack "went back to the basics" during the bye week and simplified a few things. In turn, there has been fewer missed assignments and missed tackles.

"And our defensive line has done a great job pressuring the quarterback. Making him throw it a lot faster than he wants to," Morgan said.

GREAT CALL

With the Pack trailing 24-23, Evans connected with Owen Spencer on a 30-yard pass down the right sideline -- Spencer outmaneuvered cornerback Ras-I Dowling for the ball. On the next play, the Pack tested Dowling again, and Bowens pulled in a 30-yard throw for the winning touchdown.

THIS WON'T MAKE THE COACH'S SHOW

The Pack has had problems stopping teams in the closing minutes of the first half. After State took a 20-10 lead with 1:31 left before halftime, Virginia went 64 yards in eight plays for a TD with 27 seconds remaining.

MATCHUP THAT MATTERED

State's Bowens and Virginia's Dowling, a freshman, often had a macho two-man game going. Dowling knocked away a few passes and had an interception, but Bowens got behind Dowling for the winning score and also beat him on a 28-yard pass to the UVa 33 with 2:35 left in the game.

"I just tried to make plays and help my team win," Bowens said.

GAME BALLS

* Donald Bowens -- Had 11 catches, 202 yards and 2 TDs, many big plays.

* Offensive line -- Kept Chris Long and other UVa defenders away from Evans most of the game.

* DaJuan Morgan -- Safety was credited with 12 tackles and had an early interception.

* Defensive line -- Credited with five of Pack's six sacks, including 2.5 by end Willie Young.

PENALTY MARKERS

* Special teams -- Pack had two careless kicking-game penalties, fumbled a kickoff and muffed a punt inside the NCSU 5-yard line.

LOOKING AHEAD

Next stop, the Orange Bowl. The Pack will play this week at Miami, which had a bye week after a 37-29 win at Florida State on Oct. 20.

In five home games, the Hurricanes (5-3, 2-2) are 4-1 and have outscored their opponents 126-60.

Chip Alexander, Staff Writer
RALEIGH - Much has been made of N.C. State's bye week, of how the resurgent Pack has responded with victories over East Carolina and Virginia.

Daniel Evans has been sharp at quarterback. Donald Bowens has become a big-play receiver. The defensive line is ringing up sacks -- six for the Pack in both games.

But the biggest change has been in State's secondary.

Cornerback Jeremy Gray said there was some "soul-searching" during the extra week of practice following the Pack's Oct. 6 game at Florida State. The competition was intense, and the composition of the defensive backfield had a major makeover.

Gray replaced Jimmie Sutton III in the starting lineup. Junior DaJuan Morgan was shifted from strong safety to free safety, replacing Miguel Scott. Redshirt freshman Javon Walker took over as the starter at strong safety.

Scott, a senior, was the most experienced player on the team, having started 27 of his last 28 games. Sutton, a redshirt senior, had 18 career starts.

Cornerback DeAndre Morgan, DaJuan's younger brother, got his first start at FSU. The redshirt freshman lines up to the wide side of the field, with Gray on the boundary side.

"We've got guys in the game doing things the way we want them to be done," NCSU coach Tom O'Brien said Monday.

"It stops the big plays, and the two safeties are our two best tacklers on the football team. They've made a lot of tackles that have prevented the long runs we gave up in the first six games, that change field position."

In the first six games, State's opponents averaged 226.5 rushing yards and 5.0 yards a carry. Clemson ran wild, piling up 340 yards in ripping the Pack 42-20.

"People were killing us with perimeter blocks and running," O'Brien said.

But the Pack limited ECU to 72 rushing yards in a 34-20 win, and then-No. 21 Virginia had 94 yards. The average per carry: 2.4 yards.

Under former coach Chuck Amato, the Pack relied on man coverage in the secondary. The cornerbacks' job was to stick with receivers.

"Last year it was like, 'I got him,' turn and run," O'Brien said.

Gray, a junior, has a far different responsibility: take on a tight end or tackle, hold his ground and support the run defense.

O'Brien said he used "old Chet Moeller films" during the bye week as a teaching aide. Moeller was a consensus All-America for Navy in 1975 -- a defensive back who was a sure tackler and a big hitter.

Apparently, it helped. Walker had 12 hits against ECU and Gray 10 against Virginia. DaJuan Morgan, who had 13 hits against the Cavaliers, was named the ACC's defensive back of the week.

But O'Brien, an old Navy man, also believes in an old football saying: "If you're thinking, you're stinking." He wanted less thinking and more reacting on defense. That meant some simplification.

After mixing man and zone defensive looks the first six games, the Pack is more of a zone team.

O'Brien said the Pack has been reacting much better.

"We've been taking better first steps, which makes us quicker to the football, which then closes down all those gaping holes," he said. "It takes away the rushing yards we've been giving up and forces people into passing."

NOTE: The N.C. State-North Carolina game on Nov. 10 will have a noon start, it was announced Monday.

Tony Haynes: Wolfpack Staying Humble
BY TONY HAYNES



Raleigh, N.C. ? Since they don?t live in a vacuum, NC State?s football players found it impossible to completely tune out the scrutiny that was coming their way following a 1-5 start. Now, all of sudden, criticism has given way to praise in the wake of impressive victories over East Carolina and Virginia.



Sure, criticism can eat away at the human spirit. But the satisfaction that often accompanies adulation can be just as lethal.



Following Saturday night?s 29-24 victory over the nationally ranked Cavaliers, the Wolfpack (3-5, 1-3) had every reason to celebrate a job well done in the locker room. By Sunday, however, it was business as usual when the Pack gathered for its first team meeting of a new work week. With a trip to Miami (5-3, 2-2) on the horizon, coach Tom O?Brien is making sure his improving team isn?t falling into the dangerous trap of thinking it has suddenly emerged as a college football juggernaut.



?We?ve got to get better and that?s still the bottom line,? O?Brien said sternly on Monday. ?We?re not a championship football team by any stretch of the imagination. We?ve won two games and the fight is on to win that third game now.?



There was certainly a fighting spirit to NC State?s play the last two weeks, a hunger and determination that remained relentless for four quarters in both games. Now the trick is to maintain that hunger after experiencing some success.



?As we talked about last week and we?re going to reiterate it again, you can?t listen to what everybody says about you,? O?Brien said. ?George Welsh used to say it?s like poison, if you swallow it, it?s going to kill you. You don?t all of a sudden become world beaters in two weeks. The only thing they have to listen to is what their coaches say to them.?



O?Brien is often quick to quote his longtime boss at Virginia, and why shouldn?t he? Welsh is, after all, second only to Florida State?s Bobby Bowden in career ACC wins.



But it would be difficult for even O?Brien to quantify just how far NC State has come since the first half of the opening game when it fell behind Central Florida 25-3.



The popular question the last few days has been ?in what areas has NC State improved the most?? Actually, the better question is ?in what areas has the Pack not improved??



The checklist is quite long. On defense, the Wolfpack is tackling better, rushing the passer better and covering receivers better. The same applies on the offensive side of the ball, where pass protection and run blocking have improved up front, allowing more time for quarterback Daniel Evans to throw the ball and giving more room for tailback Jamelle Eugene to run. Over his last two games, Evans has averaged 341 yards passing with six touchdowns, while connecting on 61 percent of his throws. Eugene has rushed for better than 100 yards in two of NC State?s last three games, and has averaged 4.7 yards per carry the last three weeks.



Receiver Donald Bowens has caught 16 balls the last two games, including 11 for 202 yards against Virginia.



On defense, the Wolfpack has 12 sacks and three interceptions the last two weeks. Over the first six games, the Pack had tallied just eight sacks and only two picks.



Eugene credits a renewed sense of confidence in O?Brien and his first-year staff.



?We always believed the coaches were trying to do the right thing, but I don?t know if everybody bought into it,? Eugene said. ?The coaches always trusted us and believed in us, now we feel like we?re returning that trust and belief and it?s paying off.?



After posting the nation?s worst turnover margin (-17) in the first half of the season, O?Brien set of goal of finishing on the plus side in the second half. Two games into the ?new season,? the Wolfpack is plus-1.



?We?ve created opportunities on defense for the offense and taken advantage of it,? O?Brien said. ?And we haven?t lost scoring opportunities as many times as we did in the first half of the year by turning the ball over.?



NC State has indeed taken advantage of four turnovers the last two weeks, scoring two touchdowns and two field goals after those miscues by its opponents.



The major personnel changes have occurred in the secondary. By switching DaJaun Morgan from strong safety to free safety the last two weeks and inserting Javon Walker into the strong safety slot, defensive coordinator Mike Archer has added more speed and better tackling ability at the safety positions.



Jeremy Gray has replaced Jimmie Sutton at field corner, with DeAndre Morgan manning the boundary corner spot.



The current combination of players has given the Wolfpack better coordination and improved run support from of its zone coverages.



?We kept searching through the first six games for the guys that could do the best job of executing the schemes that we wanted to play,? O?Brien said. ?In the off week we spent a lot of time with the secondary tackling and supporting the run. People were killing us with perimeter blocks and running. Jeremy is the guy that?s playing the boundary and he?s got to run support like they?ve never done before. He?s done the best job of any corner we?ve had.?



The offensive line is still a work in progress, even after it put together perhaps its best performance of the year against All-America defensive end Chris Long and Virginia on Saturday. After starting the first eight games at right tackle, Mears Green is listed at right guard this week with Jeraill McCuller taking over at right tackle.



?We?re still trying to find the right combinations,? O?Brien said.



Not only is NC State starting to win games and force turnovers, its overall luck in the injury department seems to be improving as well. The Wolfpack did not come out of the Virginia game with any new additions to the injury report. Right guard Curtis Crouch, who sat out Saturday?s contest with an ankle sprain, is listed as probable this week. An ankle sprain also prevented John Dunlap from dressing for the game against the Cavaliers. As of Monday, the senior receiver was listed as questionable for Miami.



To The Victors Go The Spoils: Three NC State players have been honored by the Atlantic Coast Conference for their effort in the victory over Virginia. Bowens shares ACC Offensive Back of the Week honors with Boston College quarterback Matt Ryan. For his work in helping to neutralize Chris Long, freshman offensive tackle Jake Vermiglio was recognized as the Rookie of the Week. DaJuan Morgan, who had 13 tackles, an interception and two pass breakups against the Cavaliers, is the league?s Defensive Back of the Week.

With this still being Amato's team, 22 of the players originally hail from Florida....I have said it the past 2 years, NCSU plays better against the Florida teams...the players grew up with most of the squads at FSU and U of M....Pack will need a lot of things to go right for them this weekend, but the hunger is definitely there

Gary Hahn's Scouting Report: Miami
Courtesy: NC State
Release: 10/31/2007


NC STATE (3-5, 1-3) at MIAMI (5-3, 2-2)



DATE: Saturday, November 3, 2007



TIME: Kickoff: 12:00 p.m. (EDT) at The Orange Bowl, Miami, FL (73,319)



RADIO: Wolfpack Sports Network: 11:30 a.m. (EDT)



TELEVISION: ESPNU



OPPONENT?Miami was idle last week after beating Florida State 37-29 on October 20. That game was marked by nine turnovers, five by FSU.

The Hurricanes scored two touchdowns in eleven seconds late in the fourth quarter to win. The second score, a 27-yard fumble return by Colin McCarthy ensured the victory and broke a two-game ?Canes losing streak.

Prior to the two quick scores, Miami?s chances to win appeared bleak after Kirby Freeman was stopped at the FSU one-yard line on fourth down with 5:29 left. The ?Canes trailed 29-24, but Freeman, who replaced injured Kyle Wright at quarterback in the first half, drove Miami 83 yards in 90-seconds. When Freeman connected on a 13-yard pass to Dedrick Epps with 1:15 remaining, Miami took the lead 30-29.

On the next possession, FSU quarterback Xavier Lee was hit by Miami defensive tackle Teraz McCray. McCarthy picked up the loose ball and ran to the end zone for the clincher. It was the ?Canes first defensive TD of the season.

Lee threw for 208 yards, completing 14-of-32 attempts, but was intercepted twice and lost two fumbles.

The Seminoles wasted five field goals by Gary Cismesia and Antone Smith's first 100-yard game of the season. Smith finished with 114 yards on 22 carries.

Wright, who hurt his left ankle, was 6 of 10 for 88 yards, but threw an interception that was returned for an FSU touchdown. Freeman was picked off twice and was 4-of-11 for 59 yards.

On Tuesday when he met with reporters, Miami coach Randy Shannon didn't sound especially optimistic about having Wright under center Saturday against N.C. State despite his quarterback?s return to practice.

?I won?t know (who will start) until Friday. Kirby won two games for us this year. It?s good that we have both of those guys, because you never know when you are going to need someone,? said Shannon.

Injured senior wide receiver Lance Leggett should be back. He returned to practice during the off week and is expected to play. Leggett is seventh among active ACC receivers with 84 career receptions.

The strength of the ?Canes is a defense that combines both speed and power, especially up front. Eight starters returned from the ?06 unit that was seventh in the nation and allowed only 16 points a game. This year?s numbers aren?t quite as good, but are still very impressive.

Miami has the 20th ranked pass defense in the nation and is also solid in the Red Zone. Opponents are averaging only 22 points and 188 passing yards against the Hurricanes. The ?Canes have allowed the fewest number of Red Zone touchdowns in the ACC this season, only 7 in 20 attempts.

Scoring on Miami at home is even tougher. The ?Canes have yet to allow a point in the first half this season in five games at the Orange Bowl, outscoring opponents 71-0 during that time. Overall, the Hurricanes are giving up only 12 points a game at home.

The defensive leaders are two All-America candidates and a linebacker who could be the ACC?s leading tackler by season?s end.

Junior end Calais Campbell (6-8, 280) is outstanding. A speedy and powerful pass rusher, Campbell is getting plenty of attention from pro scouts and is a candidate for most national post-season defensive awards. He and McCray (6-1, 286, Sr.) each have a team-leading 8 tackles for loss and 5 sacks.

With starters Glenn Cook and Romeo Davis out for the season with injuries, Tavares Gooden (6-2, 238, Sr.) has stepped up. Gooden was moved from outside to middle linebacker and he has become one of the ACC?s leading tacklers, averaging 9.5 stops a game. McCarthy, an outside linebacker is an old-school player who is also very active.

In the secondary, safety Kenny Phillips (6-3, 210, Jr.), is a candidate for post-season honors. The ?Canes leading tackler (52) is one of the best defensive backs in the ACC. Last season, he picked off four passes. This year, his backup, Randy Phillips (6-0, 204, Jr.) leads Miami with 2 interceptions.

Miami?s defense ranks fourth in the ACC with 24 sacks, including 9 against Duke.

The Hurricanes are still trying to find some answers offensively, especially in the passing game. Miami is averaging 25 points, but only 180 of its 338 yards a game come through the air.

Wright is second in the ACC in passing efficiency, but has thrown as many touchdown passes as interceptions (9). He also has the fewest number of attempts (142) and completions (88) of any quarterback listed among the league?s top passers.

Jenkins, Miami?s leading receiver (22), is one of Wright?s favorite targets. The senior recorded his third 100-yard game of the season after catching four passes for 106 yards against FSU. Leggett and sophomore Sam Shields (16 catches, 2 touchdowns) are also threats to make big plays.

Protecting Wright is a line with good size and decent experience. Redshirt senior left guard Derrick Morse, a third-year starter (6-4, 320), is the ?Canes best offensive lineman. There is little experienced depth behind the starters except for Junior Chris Rutledge (6-5, 302), who can play either tackle position.

The Hurricanes running game is impressive and is No.3 in the ACC, averaging 157 yards a game.

Miami?s running backs, Javarris James, Graig Cooper and Shawnbrey McNeal might be the youngest backfield in the nation. James is a sophomore while Cooper and McNeal are freshmen. All three are fast and elusive.

Cooper is the ?Canes leading rusher with 564 yards and a fine 5.9 yard per carry average. He ranks fourth in the nation among freshmen ball carriers. James, the cousin of NFL star Edgerrin James, led the team in rushing in ?06 (802) and has 416 yards this season with 4 touchdowns.

In the kicking game, Miami?s return men have put up average numbers and have no touchdowns. Punter Matt Bosher is coming off his best game of the season. The redshirt freshman has a 37.6 average for the season, but against FSU he averaged nearly 46 yards a boot.

Senior Francesco Zampogna may have lost his job as place-kicker. He has converted 9-of-14 field goal attempts, but did not kick in the FSU game.

Darren Daly, a junior from Dublin, Ireland, took over and nailed a 44-yard field goal and was 4-4 in extra point kicks against the ?Noles.

Evan though he didn?t do any kicking, Zampogna did help the ?Canes score against the Seminoles. He threw a 26 yard touchdown pass to tight end DajLeon Farr on a fake field goal. It was Miami?s fifth trick play in the kicking game this season.



NOTES: Saturday?s game will be NC State?s first (and last) visit to the Orange Bowl since Miami joined the ACC in 2004...Miami holds a 7-3-1 lead in the all-time series with the Wolfpack...Saturday?s game is UM?s Homecoming.

He?s caught 10 for 98-yards and 10 first downs...Miami has forced 20 turnovers in eight games, one short of their 13-game total last season...Linebacker Ernest Jones leads the Pack in tackles, averaging 9.5 stops a game...DaJuan Morgan who had 12 tackles against Virginia, is the Pack?s ?Disrupter.? He leads the team with 9 pass break-ups... NC State has scored in 147 consecutive games, the fourth-longest streak in ACC history...The Wolfpack?s last overtime game was a 27-21 win at home over Wake Forest in 2004...State is 6-4 in overtime games...NC State?s third down defense has been solid, holding opponents to 34 percent efficiency...Donald Bowens who caught 11 passes for 202 yards and 2 touchdowns against Virginia, is now the Pack?s leader in receiving yards (454)...Twenty-two Wolfpack players hail from the state of Florida...State?s defense has held opponents to 65 yards or less in the third quarter, five times this season...Turn your clocks back an hour before you go to bed Saturday night.
