What They Are Saying On Game Day

"The Wolfpack has taken three out of the last five games from the Seminoles, and has become arguably the biggest threat to FSU's conference record in the last few years.

N.C. State is the only ACC team to beat the Seminoles four times, stealing two of those wins at Doak Campbell Stadium."

"FSU offensive coordinator Jeff Bowden expects North Carolina State's defense to take a physical approach to this game.

"You are going to have to match that intensity if you plan on beating them," he said. "It takes a different attitude to go out there and run the ball and be physical. You got to gear yourself mentally for that."

"The one thing FSU coaches should have learned by now is that Amato will find a weakness to attack and he'll be aggressive doing it.

"You are going to be in a battle. You've got to fight," said Andrews. "We've got to go out there and do things that good football teams hope to do."

Yes, we'll find out just how good the Seminoles are tonight. "

"Chuck Amato won't say whether he still has a Florida State playbook tucked away somewhere or any other secrets that have helped North Carolina State prepare for the Seminoles.

Regardless, it sure seems that way heading into tonight's matchup."

"State fans, inspired by Amato's goals, have spent nearly $100 million on improvements to Carter-Finley Stadium, but the Wolfpack's performance has yet to reward the investment. Tonight, against Florida State on national television, fans will have a chance to measure State's progress.

A loss would drop the Wolfpack to 2-3 and revive complaints that boil up on talk radio, that fuel Internet message boards and that have spurred the creation of two anti-Amato Web sites."
