There's the Exum we know and love.

And again. I'm going to stop commenting for now, because I'm a little mean...

We are really missing Hosley this year.

This is one of those games where the offense is going to have to do something if we want to win

 

[VTfoozball]

Lol we've lost this game. 5 loss season at least

We are going to need to do exceptionally well on defense to win this game it looks like

 

[VTfoozball]

The defense hasn't looked all that great but look at the conservative playcalling here. It's like they're just trying not to turn it over and think giving Cinci the ball back near the 50 is a good thing. Pathetic. You've got to take some chances to win

 

[VT Bird]

so hard to win without a legitimate offense. Hopefully this year will be bad enough for an offensive staff overhaul.

 

[Ragingcroc]

Its like our offense can't get out of its own way. Hopefully, the fumble will help the offense out.

Hell, I would take a mediocre offense over this mess.

 

[m477hokie]

Great play by Taylor!

 

[Ragingcroc]

Tackled by our own lineman

 

[Ragingcroc]

Holy shit a first down

 

[VTfoozball]

Does anybody know why we've abandoned the outside pitches and sweeps when it worked so well last week? I would go outside with Coleman until they stop it. And why do we ever run a play to the short side of the field on a hash mark when the O-line can't get a push? There is no room but they still run plays to the short side

 

[VTfoozball]

Ran another play to the short side...nothing

 

[dngrcnnn]

I'm pretty astounded that Cinci didn't stop that. There couldn't have been a doubt in anyones mind that Thomas was going to take it up the middle.

Because the line actually decided to block and opened a hole the size of a truck. Safety was late getting up in the hole and got trucked.

This must be a Big East officiating crew.

 

[Ragingcroc]

This must be a Big East officiating crew.

It is.

 

[hokiegrad]

those were both terrible calls. I missed the first 20 minutes or so... has the officiating been that bad throughout?

 

[Camfantasy]

It is.

That explains a lot.

First half quick hits:

-Thomas still sucks ass passing and running some too (missing zone reads, keeping when he shouldn't, etc)

-Muscial chairs at RB, still no results

-Defense doing pretty well

-Refs are questionable at best
