Just some research...
NC State returned 10 starters from last year's defense and 17 players who have started at least one game. Last year's defense was second in the ACC in scoring D and 3rd in total D.
They have stated publicly they believe they could have the best D in the nation. Some feel equal to Georgia. ( I report..you decide)
Tony Gibson .DC 28th year of coaching
2021 3rd total D 2nd scoring D ACC. Lead the ACC with 15 interceptions.
At WVU.
Named one of the hottest recruiters by Street and Smith 2018
That year WVU lead the big 12 in TFL and second in takeaways.
In 2016 Gibson was Big 12 DC of the year as WVU lead the Big 12 in both scoring and total D.
We were taking on this wealth of knowledge,talent and experience with an OC in his third year, a QB with less than a years experience, an inexperienced OL and OL coach.
Gibson and his defenses have been doing this to the best the Big 12 and ACC has had to offer.
I have no idea what happens the rest of the year but that was an extremely sound, well coached, talented and experienced D.
