Popo Aguirre Just Set An NC State Record - Tuffy Talk Live

2026-10-0701:13:49

Tied 28-28 in the fourth quarter, Louisville breaks a 68-yard run and is walking into the end zone. Harvey Dyson III, a defensive end who rushed from the line of scrimmage on that snap, runs the back down and strips the ball out at the 13. Dave Doeren called it "one of the best plays I've seen as a coach in my career." NC State 31, Louisville 28. The first Power Four win of the season, and Layton, Greg and Ethan spend the hour on a win that actually looked like a team closing a game out ins...

We're Both Picking NC State to Upset Louisville - Tuffy Talk

2026-10-0248:58

Jeff Brohm called his starting quarterback a game-time decision on Monday. Five days before kickoff. That is not an injury update. Our read is that Louisville already knows Lincoln Kienholz is not playing Saturday, and the betting line agrees, because it has moved three and a half to four points toward NC State since the week started. So this preview is built around the question that decides the game. If Louisville hands it to Davin Wydner, a senior who spent two years at West Georgia and h...

Is It Already Over For Dave Doeren at NC State? - Tuffy Talk Live

2026-09-2901:02:57

Dave Doeren ended his press conference Saturday by stepping back to the microphone to say "by the way, we won that football game." Macon spent about five minutes on that. You are 2-2. You just let a 21-0 lead become a 31-31 tie against a Sun Belt team. You have no place to say that. "It's just arrogance to me, and it's unnecessary and ridiculous." Ethan is out sick and Greg could not make it, so this is Layton and Macon, the two who started this show six years ago, taking questions straight...

NC State vs App State Preview: Please Don't Lose This Game - Tuffy Talk

2026-09-2545:51

Ethan said the quiet part out loud four days after Nashville: "If it weren't for the way NC State lost, I don't know that I'd be thinking App State could win this game." That is where this program sits going into Saturday night. A 14 point favorite at home against a Sun Belt team that cannot run the ball, and a real conversation about whether Carter-Finley boos in the first half. App State comes in 3-0 under Dowell Loggains, who was South Carolina's offensive coordinator before taking the j...

NC State Had No Business Winning That Game - Tuffy Talk Live

2026-09-2201:21:39

Greg was in the building in Nashville. Layton found out from a text message at a wedding. Ethan spent Sunday with the box score and came back with a number nobody else in NC State media is saying out loud: by win expectancy, NC State had roughly a 15 percent chance to win that football game. We led for 59 minutes and 59 seconds and lost 35-31. Over the last 20 seasons, teams with the ball and the lead inside 10 seconds were 1,046 and 1. We are the second. This one is long because there was ...
