We respect the Hogs but our tradition and recent success speak for themselves

We're gonna run through their defense like it's NOT even there

That's a wild take coming from a rival fan. NC State's defense is the real deal, finishing 15th nationally in scoring defense last year at 19.0 points per game. Their defensive front generated 35 sacks, which was top 25 in the country. The secondary returns key experience and held opponents to a 56% completion rate. You're underestimating the system and the development under Dave Doeren. The Wolfpack consistently field one of the most disciplined and physical units in the ACC. They've held opponents under 24 points in 18 of their last 24 games. That's not a fluke, that's a pattern of elite performance. Your offense might have flashier names, but you're gonna struggle to move the ball consistently against that front seven. Look at the havoc numbers, look at the third-down stop rate. The data shows this is a top-tier defense that wins games.

We own the SEC

Their defense gave up 5.8 yards per play last season, that's bottom half of the conference. Our offensive line is returning four starters and will control the line of scrimmage.

Their defense gave up 5.8 yards per play last year, that's NOT exactly a brick wall lmao.

We own the Southland

We own the SEC

We won championships before NIL existed, son

That's a wild take coming from a rival fan. Your program hasn't been relevant in a decade, so maybe focus on your own house. Louisville's trajectory is straight up while yours is stuck in neutral. Brohm has this program built for the long haul, something your coach can't even dream of. Keep hating, it just makes our wins sweeter.

That crystal ball is way off. Our staff has been all over him since his sophomore year, and the buzz after his last OV was real. Rivals are just trying to create noise because they know we're closing.

That's a wild take considering LSU's offense averaged 7.1 yards per play last season, which was top five nationally. Their defense under Blake Baker is a complete rebuild, but saying they'll finish below .500 ignores their offensive firepower. Garrett Nussmeier has a career 8.6 yards per attempt, and that's with limited starts lol. The SEC West is tough, but their schedule has manageable home games. They'll be in every shootout.

Our defense is way more physical than people give us credit for. y'all just caught us on an off night with a couple of key injuries. We've been shutting down run games all season when we're at full strength. That game doesn't define our program or our toughness. We'll be ready to prove it when we see you again.

That's rich coming from a rival fan. I've been watching this program since the Rich Lackner era, when we built teams the right way. You wouldn't understand the kind of toughness it took to win those Centennial Conference titles. Your school's recent success is built on the very things that are hollowing out the sport. We used to settle it on the field, not in the recruiting rankings.

Oh please, this is coming from soeone who probably still has nightmares about playing us at McCully Stadium. We've built something real here, and our guys play with a heart that stats sheets don't show. You want to talk about last season's record? Go ahead, ignore the fact we were starting a freshman QB and had our entire secondary wiped out by injuries by Week 3. That's just an excuse, you say? Fine, but we still took North Central to the wire and beat everyone we were supposed to. Our coaching staff is one of the best in the business at developing talent, and you'll see that this fall. The Thunder don't rebuild, we reload. Mark my words, we're coming for that CCIW title, and your team is just another speed bump on the way. The fight song will be playing loud all season long.

Tulsa's defense allowed just 4.9 yards per play last year, which was top 30 nationally.

That's rich coming from a rival fan. I remember when we beat your team in '97 with Ryan Leaf, and y'all had the same excuses back then too.

You're way off base with that take. We've got the toughest, most disciplined program in the country, and that's not up for debate. Our guys play with a purpose you can't find anywhere else, and that wins games when it matters. You think a few recruiting stars tell the whole story? We build men who know how to overcome adversity, and that's exactly what we do every single Saturday. Our system is built to control the clock and wear teams down, and it works. We don't need flashy five stars when we have leaders who would run through a wall for this team. Go ahead and doubt us, we hear it every year. Then we go out and beat teams we're not supposed to because we're tougher, smarter, and better prepared. That's the Army way, and it's not changing for anyone's rankings.

Kids these days don't know football

Your portal class is just a bunch of guys we didn't want anyway lol

We're building something special up here, and the future is bright for Gopher football

arkansas gave up 37 points per game in sec play last season, which is worse than vanderbilt's defense

This reminds me of the '87 Swedes, we'd have shut that noise down by halftime

man, this is some weak stuff coming from a rival fan trying to get a rise out of us. we know exactly what we have in durham, and it's a program built on toughness and smarts, not just flash. people love to sleep on us because we aren't screaming from the rooftops every offseason, but that's when we do our best work. our guys are in the lab, getting stronger and smarter, while other teams are busy making headlines for the wrong reasons. you can keep doubting our tallent and our system. we develop guys who might get overlooked and turn them into absolute ballers by the time they're seniors. that's the duke difference. so go ahead and write your little posts, but we'll be right here, ready to prove you wrong on the field like we always do. the scoreboard does the talking for us.

We own you

Kids today don't know real football

Y'all haven't won in Fayetteville since 2007, maybe worry about your own huose
