Well hokie hoops is on at 1pm, it may be less painful to watch.

Looks like App St. owned the first 5 minutes. 9-4 so far.

welp. 0-0 at the half

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Anyone who doesn't think QB play and Coaching is a serious issue should be forced to watch us gain under a hundred yards of offense in a half against WF for eternity.

Fear of Turnovers + No Running Game + Bad Field Position = No Offense.

 

[ckhokie]

We most certainly have enough talent on our team to gain < 100 yds against Wake fucking Forest.

Brewer is turrible. Completely afraid to throw the ball, no pocket awareness, no arm, unable to make throws down the field.

We need a new punter. AJ has been terrible. And if someone is telling him to kick that way, that guy is an idiot.

And the offense is struggling as usual. They need to stop with the lateral shit on runs and throws. They can't block it and even if they could, Wake is too fast getting there. Also, Brewer needs to make his damn mind up quicker. He plays scared.

at me.

This is what I was thinking on the non-returned punt for 60 yards. You can't be afraid to catch the ball. Different sport, but when I played baseball as a freshman in HS, I had a coach that told me if I didn't want the ball hit to me, I could count on it coming my way. Best way to handle it is to go out there and hope it gets hit to you so you can make a play and have fun playing a sport you love. If you make a mistake, shake it off, because we all do. I think we have some guys out there who are scared to make mistakes and as a result, are not enjoying a game that they are supposed to love. Makes it a little conflicting.

WF missed a FG again, and again, and again. Wow.

 

[ckhokie]

This game....


JFC

 

[HokieChamp]

OK, perfect time to score here. WF backed up a little, and our defense is on the field. Probably our best chance of scoring right here.

 

[ckhokie]

30 yard punt.

This guy has an effing scholarship.

 

[wildturkey]

This is a fucking joke. It's to the point where the only way we're going to win is if the defense scores points and keeps stopping Wake. And seriously, who is in charge of the RB rotation? We're down to our 4th string RB (JC) and we are STILL rotating in 3 and 4 guys to get carries. WTF has to happen for one guy to be a workhorse? You cannot get a run game going if your RB gets pulled as soon as he starts breaking a sweat.

 

[HokieChamp]

WF has left so many points on the field and should be spanking us. We can't even get to FG range...

 

[wildturkey]

The only thing worse than our play on the field is the ACC Network's announcers. They don't know jack shit. I finally put the game on mute.

 

[wildturkey]

On that last sack that forced us to punt, two guys blow past Wang and he somehow whiffs on both of them.

 

[HokieChamp]

Only way either of these two teams might get some points is in OT. Both offenses look offensive.

 

[HokieChamp]

Motley in game now...might have a shot.

EDIT: Brewer coming back in now and fans are booing because it's 3RD AND SHORT AND WE PULL OUR BEST QB SNEAK GUY OUT. Thank God he picked it up, otherwise VT boards would go Defcon 1.

 

[vtfan15]

There is NO excuse for taking Motely out there...I'm done

 

[HokieChamp]

Holy shit. Brewer throws that stupid quick screen pass and it's a backwards pass. Can we stop calling this play? That literally just sucked all the remaining momentum this offense might've had right out of the stadium.

Put in Motley, leave him in, and let him call the plays. I wouldn't even glance at the sideline anymore.
