Week 4: Virginia Tech vs. Marshall @ Blacksburg, VA 12:00 PM EST ESPNU

[hokiehi21]

That's at least three 3rd and longs they've converted already.

 

[hokiegrad]

Riley to blame on that TD?

 

[wildturkey]

Uh oh. We've sprained our Wang

 

[wildturkey]

Good drive by LT for a TD. Run game with the backs is still lacking though. No lanes, hard to get anything but 2 yards

 

[wildturkey]

Defense is a mess so far today. On this drive we've given them 30 free yards off face masks and then Cato gets a big run untouched

 

[awaz]

Bud not looking happy. Surprise of the year?

 

[wildturkey]

Do we not have anyone spying Cato? Linemen are pursuing too far upfield and he's got miles of yardage to run

 

[wildturkey]

We're in trouble today. Our defense can't stop them

 

[awaz]

This offense makes me so sad.

 

[wildturkey]

AJ Hughes mishandles the punt, picks it up, and runs for a 1st down. That's the most effective run play we've had all day

 

[wildturkey]

Beamer doesn't understand clock management. 1:25 left and he asks the refs to review a 2 yard catch so he doesn't have to waste a TO. Run the clock down! Don't give Marshall the ball back! We can't stop them you idiot!

EDIT: And point proven! Now its 4th and 10, 1:15 left and Marshall has 3 TOs left. We're intentionally trying to lose this game I swear

 

[wildturkey]

Well Marshall showed mercy on us by taking a knee and running it out. Bad coaching move by them because I would have tried to score again.

So our defense is just fucking awful this game. And we know we have no shot to win the game with them playing this poorly because our offense is not good enough to carry us. Speaking of offense, Logan started off pretty well but somewhere around the 2nd quarter he went to shit. Two really bad INTs. First was a throw to Byrn who was covered the entire time (underneath route was WIDE OPEN). 2nd one was a throw to nowhere. He tried blaming it on Knowles, saying he ran the wrong route, but he's just an idiot. He had enough time to recognize that Knowles was nowhere near where he was throwing. What really happened was he lofted a pass 10 feet over Edmunds head and it got picked off.

Everyone is shit today. It's raining outside. I'm going to sadly walk around my neighborhood.

 

[hokiecat]

Once again we have The Myth of Logan Thomas.

The guy is decent for a few series a game and then plays like crap the rest of the game. But he's 6'6" and has a cannon for an arm so he is going to play no matter what. I'm also sick of him reaming out receivers after he makes a bad play. It wasn't the WRs fault that Logan overthrew Trey by 10 yards on his 2nd pick.

And with today's picks, Logan has exceeded his pre-season limit of 5 INTs for the season.

 

[awaz]

I do not like Logan Thomas.

 

[wildturkey]

More ranting time! So we get the ball to start the 2nd half. That makes Beamer's clock management at the end of the 1st half even more stupid. We should have ran the clock all the way down, scored, and went to halftime. Instead, he did his damndest to leave Marshall plenty of time (which they didn't use but still). Wtf? This is basic stuff here!

 

[wildturkey]

1st possession, 3 and out. I'm going back outside

 

[wildturkey]

Tony Gregory miraculously healed himself, put on a jersey, and drew a block in the back. At least according to these awful ACC refs.

 

[wildturkey]

WHAT THE FUCKING HELL.

You run a 4th and short play from the shotgun? ADSDFUSFDGNURGEST{ERIUW!!!!

 

[awaz]

Really Loeffler? Really? If you're gunna run the qb with less than a yard, why the fuck would you do it out of the shotgun? Just fuckin stupid.

 

[hokiecat]

This offense is an embarassment. Lure Ricky Bustle back from whatever little NC school he is coaching at. Arrrrgh.

Seriously though, we've blown 2 conversions in 4 down territory. Either trust the line and run out of the I or don't trust it and throw a screen/wheel/slant.
