MARCH 2019 ■ 35 "If you are within those realms, you have a chance." Goebbel didn't have a prior relationship with Doeren other than Marshall played against NC State the last two years. NCSU won 37-20 in both contests. Goebbel was able to glean several things from the meet- ings. "You are talking about a disciplined, hard-nosed football team," he said. "They have a lot of speed and talent, and when you have those intangibles and are led by a man with a vision like Coach Doeren has, you have a chance to win a lot of games — and they have." NCSU returns all of its tight ends from a year ago. Sophomore kicker Christo- pher Dunn enjoyed an excellent first year for the Wolfpack, going 23 of 26 on field goals, and redshirt sophomore punt re- turner Thayer Thomas averaged 9.3 yards on 15 punt runbacks. The Wolfpack will be breaking in a new punter, kickoff specialist, long snapper and kick returner. Having urgency, bringing a great attitude and being able to finish will be the hall- marks of his units each week. "The great thing is they all love foot- ball," Goebbel said. "They are very intel- ligent and very aware. The work ethic is as good as I've been around. "If you put that all in one, I think we have a chance to have a great product." ■ James A.
