Week 4: Virginia Tech v Bowling Green (Sept. 22, 2012)

[HokieChamp]

I think if we were to somehow lose this game, I would just stop caring about this season for us. We either need to get over the hump and start playing VT football, or ride the train right off the unfinished bridge and let Frank can break up with a few coaches.

I hope he gave him a refund because its obvious whatever they did in the offseason had the opposite effect.

latest depth chart has Davis and Roberts swapping positions... Davis now at split-end and Roberts at flanker.

What are the differences between the spots? One lines up weak side and one strong side?

Is that pic from this summer? Or was Whitfield on the east coast?

edit: Never mind, per his twitter they have been talking daily on the phone.

edit2: Is the rep system gone? Or is my computer f'd up?

One (fl) lines up off the line and Closer to the center while the other (se) is a true wideout.

The flanker is often covered in some and runs quick slants and seam or post routes. The SE is often manned up and runs outside go routes in our O.

With Coles out this makes sense. We have historically put our bigger receivers at SE.

Not sure what to think of this. I haven't been impressed with Roberts blocking, so bringing him in just means a defender will be closer to making a play. Have these two receivers lined up at these spots in the past? I forget who played were before.

 

[hokiegrad]

I believe they were originally like this, but then swapped before the season. So they're just swapping back, and should be familiar with what they're moving to. I think it's a good move. I was surprised they swapped before.

Abbott will handle kick offset tomorrow

Gameday! Lets go Hokies!

Do you know how many kickoffs were directional kicks in the last 3 games? Or was Branthover just not good enough to boot it out of the endzone despite kickoffs being moved up?

Slow crowd n the burg todAy n the burg. Let's goooooooooo!!!

 

[Ragingcroc]

I guess I don't understand sitting Benedict to start Via in a spot where Via could have started for Arkema instead. Benedict has actually been doing well. Arkema was horrible against Pitt.

offense struggling and defense is hit and miss right now. gonna be one of those games i think, probably going to go to the wire.
