QUOTING
THE PACK
"NC State is college football's cursed program,
one capable of producing seemingly endless high-
level draft picks but one with just a single season
of double-digit wins and no top-10 finishes in its
history. Head coach Dave Doeren has come pain-
fully close, hitting nine wins in three of the last five
years. The Wolfpack will take another swing at it
this fall.
"They were just four points from an unbeaten
ACC season last year, and … are projected under-
dogs in just one game. … While the offense can
play things a little too conservatively at times, it
does return quarterback Devin Leary, receivers
Thayer Thomas and Devin Carter and a veteran
line. This is as loaded and balanced a team as Do-
eren has produced."
— Bill Connelly, ESPN staff writer, explaining
NC State's appearance on his list of teams that
are capable of sustaining their recent success
"We've had so many people on
this team who've accomplished
a lot, obviously. We had a lot of
ACC champions, Katelyn [Tuohy]
is a national champion [in the out-
door 5,000-meter race], Hannah
[Steelman] is going pro. But I still
think we'd probably all say that the
team national championship is the
thing we're most proud of."
— KELSEY CHMIEL, senior distance
runner, looking back on the 2021
cross country team's national title
