this is your family's first and most important line of defense against Mother Nature when she strikes make sure you call the people that I trust my family and friends at exterior Home Solutions exterior Home Solutions 2-minute drill pregame here between Tennessee and NC State Eric Tennessee seems pretty healthy going into this game we'll be interested to see kind of the rotation you a week ago we saw the heavy rotation that's going to get paired down some with players like James fer getting a lot more than 10 RS yeah James Pierce will certainly play more than 10 snaps he'll certainly play in the second half of this football game interested to see what Ricky Gibson looks like of course J hpel said that he's ready to roll he said that on Monday you feel good about corner with him and Jamal McCoy and and McMurray there uh but as far as the rotation a lot of defensive lineman I think the linebackers will rotate a little bit but uh intrigued to see some of these guys get back in there and of course like you said James Pierce um a game where he needs to get after Grace McCall I was told Ricky Gibson was healthy a week ago could have played but because he had a little bit of a tnder hamstring there was no point at all to have anything flare up so he is good to go for tonight's game Nico second bowl type atmosphere obviously played in Orlando and the in the Citrus Bowl this a neutral sight game which feels kind of like a bowl game here in Charlotte yeah it does and I mean Nico obviously has performed in every opportunity he's had so far and uh kind of away from neand Stadium at uh NFL stadium kind of doing all that I mean for him just you know keep keep the simple things the simple things run the offense be a leader in that huddle and go do what you do if he goes and does what he does like he has Tennessee should be fine in this one but a familiar situation for him and here in two weeks it'll kind of get to that real test where of course you're on the road SEC environment true Road game which I mean this is away from Stadium as well but it's different than a than a true Road game yeah a lot of Tennessee fans here have seen a fair cheer of uh as you would expect just down the road from Raleigh of NC State fans is uh you know I've heard a few fans like if if we can get past Tennessee you know like the hardest game we have left is this like we can make a run like they they think they know this is going to be a gauntlet game but they feel like potentially to get to the playoff if they can get past this one the ACC is for the taking yeah no doubt and you know you look at it on Tennessee side it's like technically on paper it's the fourth toughest game but uh both of these teams have college football playoff aspirations the path is easier for NC State as you pointed out this one is Monumental if Dave Dorne wins this game it would be the biggest win of his career now Tennessee needs this needs to win this game as well I'm not saying that the playoff chances are shot if you don't it's just that much steeper with Oklahoma Alabama Florida of course that game's never easy in and Georgia but this is a big game top 25 game I think we all you know going into it like Tennessee a lot I think the predictions reflect that but you don't play the game on paper you play it in that stadium and it should be an exciting one you do play it inside the white lions of Bank America Stadium behind us he is Eric Kane I'm Austin price
