N.C. State has an off week in preparation for playing Virginia a week from Saturday. So, just what does the Wolfpack do during an “off week?”<\/p>\n
QUESTION: Can you go through a little bit what your practice schedule has been like this week without a game on Saturday? What are your main points of emphasis this week?<\/p>\n
COACH TOM O’BRIEN: Right now we haven’t
\ndone anything. I gave them all off Sunday,
\nMonday, Tuesday. You know, the good news was
\nwe had no new injuries last Saturday, but we’ve
\nstill got a lot of guys banged up. Today they came
\nover, and this morning we worked in the strength
\nand conditioning area. We ran, we lifted, in the
\ntraining room every day.<\/p>\n
We’ll practice Thursday. We’ll practice
\nFriday. We’ll give them Saturday off, and then we’ll
\nstart Sunday with game week for Virginia. The
\nemphasis is on getting better. I just answered the
\nlast question about continuity on defense. Trying
\nto get a defense lined up that we think will be here
\neach and every week from the rest of the season
\nand go back to work on some of the fundamentals
\nand things.<\/p>\n
Part of the week for the coaches has been
\nout recruiting, the other part has been
\nself-evaluation and what we’ve done well, what we
\nhaven’t done so well, and what we need to
\nemphasize. Part of the problem with the defense
\nwith playing so many guys, we’ve got to figure out
\nwhat we can do well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
