Following NC State’s 45-33 loss to Duke Saturday in Durham because 3 interceptions were thrown 1 fumble was lost Head Coach Dave Doeren had this to say about his teams mistakes!

I’ll give Duke credit. Congratulations to them on the win, and they definitely deserve it,”

“They came back. We had a chance with a two score lead to do some things. There’s a lot of mistakes in that game that hurt us.”

They’re going to run the football, and you gotta win your gap. You gotta get off blocks, and our unblocked hats gotta make tackles,”

Obviously that didn’t happen. It’s disappointing. We’ve had three of those this year.”
