SPECIAL (as in Short Bus) Teams

I think they need to fire their special teams coach.

 

[hokiehi21]

they should go for it

 

[HokieChamp]

At least the defense is showing some heart...

 

[hokiehi21]

well, thanks BC for keeping it a 2-possession game

 

[VTscores]

Amazingly, VT is still in this.

 

[wildturkey]

Let's change it up. I'm gonna rant about BC's stupid coaching.

Why the fuck do you not go for the TD on 4th and 2? We can't move the ball worth shit anyway. If BC gets the TD to go up 27-10, the game is most certainly over. If BC fails to convert, we'll just fuck it up and probably give up a safety or be punting in 3 downs anyway. Poor coaching choice. Fire BC's OC!

 

[HokieChamp]

Honestly, why don't we like touchbacks?

 

[hokiehi21]

please throw it downfield

 

[VTscores]

Helmet to Helmet.

 

[HokieChamp]

I think we should change our name to False Start University. It reflects on both our season to this point and our pre-snap penalty problems.

Also wtf on that offsetting penalty call??

 

[VTscores]

An official should be fired for that.

 

[wildturkey]

Two things:

1) The refs couldn't be any more wrong on the offsetting penalties. It was CLEARLY targeting and the BC player should have been ejected. And there's no fucking way it could have been grounding because A) Brewer was out of the pocket and B) The ball made it back to the line of scrimmage.

2) Bench Brewer. He's had about 5 to 6 guys open in the 2nd half and he's either not seen them open or flat missed the throw

Edit for more ranting:

Seriously, just bench Brewer. I don't care what the coaches said to him about him being the guy to try to build his confidence. It doesn't matter. Because when you see him on the field, it is obvious the kid is rattled. The guy that showed so much moxie vs OSU is no longer there. He's inside his own head and he's only hurting us the more he stays in the game. The other two guys may not be better but I'd rather go down knowing I tried everything I could to win

 

[HokieChamp]

Finally a bad BC punt!

Edit: Still no running game. Still no good downfield passing.

 

[hokiehi21]

Remember when VT drove 95 yards for a TD. That was fun.

You sure that was real life? Cuz I was playing NCAA Football on my 360 earlier and I did that. We also won 6 straight Nattys.

 

[hokiehi21]

beamerball?

[vtfan15]

that was exciting

I think they remembered they were VT after that and promptly started playing the way we've become accustomed to. How bad does tOSU hate us right now though?

Also fake punt.

 

[HokieChamp]

We cant block for shit

Edi:t nice pass followed by another terrible swing pass for a loss of 2 and an incompletion. Lefty just ain't right for VT.
