Game Thread: VT vs. Pitt, Heinz Field, 7:30P Thursday Night, ESPN

31 yard punt.

Just sayin'

 

[ckhokie]

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

2 decent ones. Zero great ones. I understand we're behind the eight ball tonight, but our running game hasn't been good in many games prior to this.

Apparently during the bye week Loeffler and Co went to Mexico instead of working. Just awful. Brewer has been terrible as well. He's not seeing the field at all. Might as well put in Leal.

Also, I think its a wasted series to have Rogers at RB. Use Caleb. I love Sam Rogers but he's a far better FB than RB.

Finally called that facemask.

Yep. I'm all for reassigning Shane this offseason

 

[hokiegrad]

Brewer is really stinking it up tonight...

 

[VTscores]

That roughing the passer was right on time. Thanks!

 

[HokieChamp]

Brewer playing like shit...terrible throw there. Saved by the penalty

 

[mad4comp]

Shit playcalling... terrible quarterback... what's new.

 

[ckhokie]

Brewer's velocity looks like dick. The ball looks slow coming out and he has like 4 or 5 terrible underthows

 

[ckhokie]

We literally don't want to score.

 

[VTscores]

What's going on with this offense?

This really should be a lot worse. Time to get your act together.

 

[HokieChamp]

Offensive penalties...

 

[HokieChamp]

Got all three timeouts...take two timeouts to kick every offensive player in the ass and the third to call a play

 

[wildturkey]

We've got two options at halftime:

1) Bench Brewer

2) Forfeit and fire every offensive coach we have.

No use risking the defensive players with injury if the offense is gonna be this fucking pathetic.

 

[VTscores]

I think being the interception leader in the FBS has gotten into Brewer's head and spooked him.

The problem is that I'm not confident in Leal without a running game. So someone needs to talk Brewer down from the tower. He's got to complete the game, and that means completing some passes for first downs. He's capable of it.

Yeah. That first half was painful to watch. We don't have any RBs and our line is either inconsistent in their run blocking or committing terrible penalties. But more than that, I am seriously wondering if Brewer needs to sit for awhile at this point. The offense needs a spark. He is clearly regressing and something isn't clicking.

 

[ckhokie]

It's worth a shot. At least have Leal ready to go. Any spark would be helpful. Brewer's throws aren't even close. It's not like he's barely missing.

I think I'd give him one more series. We really need him next Thursday as well. Sad that there's no running game, but that's just the way it is.

better throw and Bucky walks into the endzone... unhurt
