What Went Wrong?
N.C. State still has one game left on its schedule, but for all practical purposes the Wolfpack's season ended on Thursday night with its loss to Florida State. No winning record. No bowl game.
I'll be waiting until after the ECU game to write my post-mortem, but you can feel free to jump in right now with your explanations for how a once-promising State season went south so rapidly.
Where do you place the blame? Inexperienced Quarterbacks? The State hype machine? Amato and his staff? The injury gods? Those pesky turnovers and penalties? John Swofford for bringing Miami into the league? Jim Knight? Recruiting gurus who tabbed Marcus Stone as a Prep All American?
Or are you a kind-hearted soul, who believes that everyone did their best and sometimes that's just the way the oblong ball bounces?
Let me know what you think. And, if possible, give State some solutions for 2005.
