“I tried to get it done, but I didn’t get it done,” . “I wish the guys next year understand how it feels. I know there’s a lot of returners coming back. The transfer portal is gonna be huge for the team, too. I can’t speak on next year because I’m not going to be here, but I wanted it. I wanted to do it.

Following 18th ranked NC State’s 2023 season ending with 28-19 loss to 25th ranked Kansas State Thursday at Pop-Tarts Bowl in Orlando Florida NC State Head Coach Dave Doeren had this to say!

I feel like I did what I needed to do to be ready and prepared. We just didn’t get it done.”

I thought when we faked that punt and scored, gained all the momentum, and the way we had been playing prior to that next drive on defense in the second half, I thought we were gonna win this game,”

With college football, I think every season is anybody’s season,”

Your teams are changing. We’re gonna have 50-plus new guys on our roster next year. The guys coming back are going to be very driven, but each year it’s different than it’s ever been in college football. It’s a new puzzle every year. It’s exciting and challenging and confusing and everything all at once.

I think right now I just want to think about the kids in that locker room and take a few days to get away. Then, we get back to it.”
