Is there an ESPN feed online somewhere? I've tried to watch this on my TV but the ACC Network is a steaming gallon of cow shit. Although I'm pretty sure the announcers made a comical masturbation joke...


Also, Brewer is one more INT away from being benched for the season in my book. Don't care if its Leal, Brewer, Ford, or the soda vendor that replaces him.

They honored Jim Weaver in between the 1st and 2nd quarter. I REALLY hope a loud "stick it in" chant broke out

I like how the other announcer was like .....

I found the game on AM radio. Raycom has tweeted that they've pinpointed the issue

If Wang hadn't fell to the ground, that would have been a touchdown. Oline is also double teaming when not necessary and not getting to the second level.

The only thing worse than this offense is the ACC Network. We flat out suck. Outside of 2 plays, we can't run block for shit. On one play, the ACC's awesome feed froze up and I saw Farris running to block a LB that wasn't there and Conte looking around as 3 defenders ran past him but he never got any of them. They can't block the run plays that are being called. Period. The only runs that work halfway well are the power runs with Rogers in to block. And Loeffler/SB are liars (yep, I pulled a Bill Simmons). They said they were going to focus on Marshawn and Shai. Then why the fuck have Edmunds, Newsome, JC, and Caleb all been in the game? GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE with this bullshit.

And Brewer, he's done. He HAS TO be benched at halftime. There's no excuse not to and I will be very disappointed if the coaches leave him in. We can't run the ball so it is absolutely vital that we hold on to possession passing it. But he keeps turning it over. It is a PRIME opportunity to put in Leal/Motley to see if they can do it in a live game. We're good enough to beat WMU if we just hold onto the ball so its not like we need Leal/Motley to be John Elway. Put one of them in now and see what happens.

And of course they leave Brewer in. I swear if he throws another INT I'm driving to Blacksburg today and smacking Loeffler in the back of the head.

This ACC network feed online has been shitty all game. And ESPN has our game blacked out down here in Tampa. Been beyond frustrated not only at the team, but just trying to watch them play.

As another point. How big was picking up Ford in the recruiting process last year? Funny what natural receivers can do.

So we simplified things on this drive with a lot of 2 TE running plays, some FB and we marched down the field with good runs and got a TD with a Brewer pass to Ford. Just scrap every other run blocking scheme.

I'm using Twitter to fill in the holes of the ACC's shitty network. Apparently they just played Horse on a Treadmill in the stadium and the place went bonkers, loudest its been all day.

That's the scheme that won us the orange bowl in the '08 season. I'd have no problem with that if the O-line did as well as they did back then with Evans

Glad Hodges got moved. He's a great weapon for this offense. Seems like there was a decent halftime speech by someone explaining they better be able to win the trenches this game.

More good runs out of your more traditional run sets, including the TD by Shai which was straight old school I formation (with some great blocks).

Phillips should have caught that ball. That said...we've been getting good yardage with power run plays and Loeffler totally abandons it that series and goes back to spread packages :L

My exact thoughts. Kinda like what we did against Kansas in '07. Brandon ore and that offense pound it straight to them and then abandon the run for no reason.

Defense has played fairly well today but they've had a couple of bad breakdowns that gave up big time yardage. WMU doesn't get that TD if Jarrett just goes for the hit instead of gambling for an INT earlier in the drive.
