So I'm assuming Bryan Stinespring made it back to taking over playcalling duties?

It does look like his stunt double.

The punt spot was a bad break.

 

[VTscores]

lol @ our 'pre season all ACC' punter.

This dude sucks.

He hasn't stunk up the place too badly. That was about as much as you could hope for from that spot.

 

[VTscores]

Awesome. Big play by the defense.

Followed by a lucky break with the bump on the coverage.

He hasn't been close to the billing of 'All-ACC.' Going by punting average, he's good for 104th in the nation

That's a reasonably meaningless number. I'm just saying that punting is very situational.

 

[ckhokie]

That's a reasonably meaningless number.

Rarely are we pinning guys deep either. We can disagree on the stats themselves, but there's really no way you can say AJ Hughes hasn't been a disappointment this year.

 

[ckhokie]

Maybe D and ST will just win the game.

 

[mad4comp]

3rd and 5... throw it 2 yards. Logan Thomas back there again?

 

[wildturkey]

Defense has settled in nicely after a bad whiff from Jarrett to give up a TD but the offense is embarrassing. Struggling to run was to be expected but there appears to be no plan so far. Rogers is having a poor game so far with a penalty and some missed blocks both running/passing. Receivers are running poor routes. And Brewer doesn't look comfortable at all. He's not setting his feet and he's staring down his 1st read. It's only a matter of time before he throws an INT if this keeps up

 

[BucksFanInGA]

Your defense is going to host a blanket party for your offense...

 

[VTscores]

I don't see indisputable evidence there.

 

[ckhokie]

"Ehhh fuck it. Ruling on the field stands. VT will punt in 3 plays anyway"

 

[mad4comp]

How do you over turn that? YOu can't see where the elbow hits the ground.

 

[VTscores]

Honestly, I think he was down, but I don't think you see it in the video unless you use some intuition.

 

[mad4comp]

Sorry, but Beamer, you needs to go brah.

 

[VTscores]

The whole plan this year was to have a running game. We just don't have a power runner. Coleman is a change of pace back, so he's just not that guy.

 

[ckhokie]

Another game where the inept offense is so bad, it literally takes more points from us than gives us

I know we haven't had stability at the position and the O-line has been god awful, but how long do we have to wait before we're allowed to question Shane Beamer's effectiveness?

 

[HokieChamp]

Definitely a facemask on that fumble by Coleman...still though, time for Leal and Rogers as QB and RB...change that shit up. Hell, at this point I would like to see Hodges try to throw it to himself.

I hate to throw out excuses, but how many great RB's do we have sidelined right now? We're down to our 4th and 5th stringers for this game
