Game Thread: VT vs. Boston College, Lane Stadium, 12:30P, ESPN3

Nice job by AJ Hughes, and VT finally got a good bounce.

Brewer made it really difficult for us on that last drive. That's the 2nd time he's let the play clock expire (first time he get a TO) on the OPENING PLAY of a drive. How the fuck does that happen? Can he not read the signals? Is Loeffler that late with the play calls? Ridiculous.

WTF, 8 seconds left, you take one shot into the enzone.

 

[wildturkey]

Welp, way to squander that return. Just when you think ST is going to turn it around after a good play, they get our FG blocked because the line was pushed back 2 yards on the snap.

 

[wildturkey]

WTF, 8 seconds left, you take one shot into the enzone.

Agreed. But part of me feels with the way this team is, we would have done something stupid like Brewer throwing it over the middle to Rogers 10 yards from the endzone so he gets tackled and time expires.

 

[VTscores]

In spite of a few bad plays at crucial moments, VT showed up with an offense today.

 

[wildturkey]

Yeah, the offense is looking better. But I still don't get the RB rotation. Williams will get 1 good run and he comes out of the game immediately. Do we really need to get Jerome Wright and Sam Rogers multiple carries? Just let Juice be the workhorse and only take him out when he asks for a breather. It's little things like this that keeps limiting us. It doesn't seem like much on its own but there's like 15 other "little" things wrong with this team and the sum takes its toll.

It has an offense, not a great one but there is one. Only 14 rushing yards makes it hard for me to agree

Shane really may need to be moved away from the decision on the RB rotation. 4th and 1 so we don't use Williams? It is like he is afraid to hurt the guy's feelings so he gives them all carries except Caleb

No fair catch again, bounces down to the 3. You'd think we'd learn after the first 2 times.

 

[wildturkey]

Down at the 1 AGAIN! WTF! Beamer is a fucking moron. No reason at all to send everyone for a block at that point. He might keep his head coaching job but he absolutely should not be coaching special teams anymore

Edit for more ranting:

SHIT FUCKING SHIT FUCK does that piss me off.

Learning implies that we have intelligent coaching

 

[wildturkey]

A non surprising 3 and out with BC getting the ball with good starting field position all because ST can't do their basic job.

If BC scores a TD here to make it 21-10, this game is over.

 

[HokieChamp]

Again, mobile QB is shredding the vaulted Bud Foster Defense

 

[hokiehi21]

meh

 

[wildturkey]

They've played well in the past but I can't hold back any longer, our safeties (especially Jarrett) flat out suck this year. They're constantly missing tackles and taking poor angles.

 

[vtfan15]

meh

Yep, all there is to say at this point. At least UNC is getting raped by Miami. 44-6 midway through the 3rd.

 

[HokieChamp]

Oh. My. God.


Holy shit we are bad. No bowl game and consider the UVA streak over too. This team is dead in the water.
