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

Another FG. Didn't like the redzone playcalling. 1st down was a nice run from Caleb running behind Rogers. Just keep pounding it. The few times we've done that (like 3 times), Caleb is getting good yards. Loeffler is overthinking things.

Power run, power run, PA bootleg off the power run in some order on that situation would have been 7.

 

[hokiegrad]

two good tackles by Motuapuaca. But hate to see Chase hurt like that. Hope he's ok.

edit: make that 3...

 

[mad4comp]

What an exceptionally well coached team. Great job Beamer.

 

[ckhokie]

the pre-snap penalties are turning into a joke at this point. The offense should be running up the East Stands 3 times for each one of these.

 

[wildturkey]

This fucking offense man,

It's to the point where if we by some chance win this game, I'm still going to go to bed pissed off at how bad the play is. Poor play, poor playcalling, awful penalties, take your pick.

 

[mad4comp]

Brewer is just downright horrid. And that playcall right there just assured me that Stiney is calling the plays... really?

 

[HokieChamp]

Can't get anything going...terrible plays, terrible execution, and when something somehow clicks, there's a penalty. Just a very poor showing overall.

 

[mad4comp]

Sorry, but until Beamer is gone, this team wont progress.. Sorry beams, you're done bud.

 

[wildturkey]

FUCK SCOT LOEFFLER.

A trick play that has little success rate to start the 4th, really? And then cap it off going for it on 4th down passing it and of course the route wasn't even long enough.

 

[ckhokie]

4th and 2 and we throw a pass barely to the LoS

 

[ckhokie]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yea, they really didn't need to go there. Things were just starting to click a little.

 

[VTscores]

Pretty sad when "inside the 10" is the customary starting position.

 

[ckhokie]

So Akron would crush us.

 

[ckhokie]

Watching this, I think we can agree that '2015 is going to be our year' is just as much of a sucker bet as any other year.

The QB play has been terrible for the majority of the year, the OL is balls, the run game is literally non existent at this point, and we're paper thin on D. Worst of all, the coaching just doesn't seem to be there.

 

[VTscores]

Part of Pitt's game is running the clock all the time. Conner is a beast.

If Conner refuses to put his knee down, knock the ball out.

We're missing Chase Williams.

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

This surprises me not at all, sadly.

 

[mad4comp]

And TV's off. Thanks for wasting another year of our lives Beamer. Get lost.

 

[wildturkey]

I'll say the defense has played admirably to keep the score close with the exception of Jarrett. He's had an awful game. He gave up the first TD with a poor angle and he's whiffed on a ton of tackles. Lucky for him, the absolutely horrid offensive stench will mask his poor play. If the offense keeps performing like this, we'll be lucky to make a bowl game.

 

[wildturkey]

Figures we'd get a late TD but don't have enough TOs to stop the clock (1 left). Thanks a lot dysfunctional coaching!

We need a miracle on top of a miracle.
