Most coaches have a 24-hour rule that allows their players to celebrate wins (or sulk over losses) for a day following their most recent game. After those 24 hours are up, it's time to move on and start preparing for the next game.

In the case of NC State, it probably didn't take that look to put Thursday's 28-26 loss at Georgia Tech into the history books. That's because the next team on the schedule is North Carolina. 

Not only is it a rivalry game, but it's also Senior Night at Carter-Finley Stadium and a chance to spoil the Tar Heels' bowl chances.
