LET'S GO

HOKIES!!!!

Going to miss this one. My grandmother's funeral is today. Hope they ball out for her. I converted her late to cheering for the Hokies on Saturdays from Long Island. She is taking a VT with her. Something she asked me to do.

my condolences, Pete. She sounded great

So sorry for your loss.

Thanks she had a good run. Made it to 96. She went easy too.

That's all any of us can ask.

The love of a grandparent is special. Sorry for your loss.

Sorry for your loss. Glad she went on good terms, and takes a piece of VT with her.

Not so hot take....

The maroon VT should always be at midfield and the end zones with color are so much better than without. And the whole end zone should be colored, not just the text

Warning- Filter lost.

"Look at this... This is just spectacular.... These people are losing their minds"

was thinking the same thing

I miss the temporary wooden bleachers in the end zone and the dinky little scoreboard.

Hokie Bird looks like he is ready to try out for the offensive line. Let's hope the big uglies for VT can get the job done today. Hokie Bird is counting on them.

Recovering scientist working in business consulting

I thought he was mooning the Corps.

Ut Prosim Ad Dei Gloriam

Oh great we get Herzlich again today

Watching GameDay for a moment at Indiana.
Their stadium looks a lot like Lane stadium

It is. We hiked up the East stands, and per building codes couldn't attach the North and South stands when we added them.

They never built up the sides- they bowled in one end zone and added an architectural feature to the other.

Same base stadium

No way that Clements have that up... /s

Drones loses the ball ... yet again.

Ut Prosim Ad Dei Gloriam

Not an ideal start.

Drones, c'mon man.

Clements really screwed the pooch on the first series

Not a great start Hokies

Ut Prosim Ad Dei Gloriam

glad we recovered the ball, 3 and out sucks... but better than a turnover.

let's see what the D can do

At least they got a good punt.

Not the optimal thing to have to say after the first set of downs.

Defense needs to set the tone here with a stop.

Lol yeah about that

"When I was growing up, Virginia Tech was a school that was kicking ass and taking names, and it's time we get back to that" - James Franklin

Parker Clements is sooooo bad dear lord

Hokie Club member since 2017, TriumphNIL subscriber since 2023

Football school, Women’s basketball school

APR with a nice tackle

GT gonna Rutgers us and run the same play.

We'll see if we can adjust before the 3rd Q this week

Random TEs and their big games against us.

I am getting Vanderbilt vibes so far. Team needs to turn things around here.

Recovering scientist working in business consulting

This defense is Carolina Panthers level bad

Cannot stop the run to save their lives

"When I was growing up, Virginia Tech was a school that was kicking ass and taking names, and it's time we get back to that" - James Franklin

Maybe we need to hire a 4th LB coach. /s

How is this defense still incapable of stopping that little split zone TE dump option??

"That move was slicker than a peeled onion in a bowl of snot." -Mike Burnop

this is a long drive

finally, a 3rd and long. let's hold em

I feel like we need to exclusively play night games

If you're reading this mail me West End London Broil pls

good. holding em to 3. let's get the offense going, give the D some time to rest

Would love one of those 80 yard run things here.

Fire Whit.

Holding them to 3 there is a minor win. Need to keep the offense on schedule so we can control this one. If we can get GT playing from behind I think we are in good shape.

Here's what kills me about our coordinators.

Bowen: starts the game trying once again to make this a dropback pass O

Marve: getting beat by the same basic concepts week after week.

There is just no coherent game planning

I'm ok with the play action shot off the run play that gave Tuten a breakout performance. Drones needs a better internal clock and Clements can't get whipped inside of 2 seconds.

"That move was slicker than a peeled onion in a bowl of snot." -Mike Burnop

How was that not a first?

Fire Whit.

A GT player hit Tuten when he was a full step outside the field of play.

Ut Prosim Ad Dei Gloriam

Nice spot

Just keep feeding Tuten.

Wow I feel like that's the first time we've benefitted from a spot in a long time

dang

That 1st down drop by Felton was a killer.

Looks like a Vandy replay Offensively.

They are getting pressure and nobody is getting separation.

Not a good combo

It's either come out strong or come out flat. We can't even find an in-between.

Fire Whit.

You can't say "Tech back in business" when there are two Techs.

If GT drives the field here I don't have a good feeling about the rest of the game.

Hopefully I'm wrong.

If you don't want to recruit clowns, don't run a clown show.

"I want to punch people from UVA right in the neck." - Colin Cowherd

Need to flip the field with a stop here

VB born, class of '14

Team with a sleepy start. Someone's gonna have to step up and wake us up on each side of the ball.

Damn. Waste of a great tackle by Woodson there. All goes back to a terrible first down play.

Side observation - the orange unis looked sweet and are an awesome alternate. But man the MV7 era maroon jersey and helmet combination just pops on screen.

Feels like GT is running our own offense better than us ☠️

VB born, class of '14

Big play by Pene.

Yuge

Pene with two big plays there

"That move was slicker than a peeled onion in a bowl of snot." -Mike Burnop

Looks like the ref warned him about taunting instead of throwing the flag after the second tackle.

This defense really thrives off of negative plays.

"That move was slicker than a peeled onion in a bowl of snot." -Mike Burnop

Alright offense, your turn to wake up.

Great defensive series!

Defense stepped up. Good.

First quarter summary. Total offense 17 yards. I think that needs to change.

Ask and youshall receive.

Recovering scientist working in business consulting

GT is simply more physical and looks vastly more prepared than us.

Pretty much gave away the 1st Q offensively.

This is a consistent issue in the Pry era

Blistering start today by the offense. Are the coaches and kids not getting enough coffee for these 12 pm games?

Doubled up in time of possession that quarter too

VB born, class of '14

I expect Brent Keys to cut my lawn next week.

pls god no

Lane only had 1 TD on the season?! That is a little surprising.

nice, dicey.. but worth it lol

Ayden Greene has been a really pleasant breakthrough in the WR room

Fontel Mines deserves another raise

"That move was slicker than a peeled onion in a bowl of snot." -Mike Burnop

Schick thankfully let go, really close to holding and killing that reverse play.

getting some rhythm. drones getting it out just in time

A td here would be nice.

TD!!!

THERE WE GO

The streak lives!

"When I was growing up, Virginia Tech was a school that was kicking ass and taking names, and it's time we get back to that" - James Franklin

BENJI GOSNELL TAKE A BOW

Easy money

"Why gobble gobble chumps asks such good questions, I will never know." - TheFifthFuller

Benji!!

Benji and two nice grabs!!!! LFG!!!!

That was a nice drive. Good job Bowen.

Boom. Nice drive there.

If you don't want to recruit clowns, don't run a clown show.

"I want to punch people from UVA right in the neck." - Colin Cowherd

That drive should soften up their run defense, too

"That move was slicker than a peeled onion in a bowl of snot." -Mike Burnop

Bowen says, "Oh, yeah we have tight ends, too"

Ut Prosim Ad Dei Gloriam

Too easy...
Go Hokies!!

Benji has had some GREAT hands these past two games

VB born, class of '14

Really want us to step on their throats. We can pass like that, it should open things up for the run game. Dont love a slow start, but gotta at least keep the rhythm once you find it

"Why gobble gobble chumps asks such good questions, I will never know." - TheFifthFuller

Loving those play-calls. GT is do dialed in on Tuten they are not maintaining discipline.

Fire Whit.

I think there's a decent chance our WR room is better next season and the season after, and if so, Mines deserves a big raise.

Greene showing it on the field, early reports on Keylen Adams have been strong, his recruiting classmate Chanz Wiggins was an AA game recruit, Chance Fitzgerald was highly rated from Ayden Greene's class (possible pass up candidate though), and the WR class we have coming in the coaches are really high on as well. We haven't found a the best way to utilize Heath or XTB yet, but the coaches want to, I believe.

Catching parts of the game here and there while Brewery hopping in Providence, Rhode Island.

GO HOKIES!

My wife takes the kids and leaves the house while I watch my Hokie games.........nuff said

Good close by Keller to force the 4th down

"That move was slicker than a peeled onion in a bowl of snot." -Mike Burnop

Seems to be a guy who the light is coming on for and he's playing faster and more physical as a result.

Defense showing up.

Honestly, I'm GT, I go for this here.

Recovering scientist working in business consulting

Insert Who? Gif.

I liked the play call there. Good play by 16

"That move was slicker than a peeled onion in a bowl of snot." -Mike Burnop

Oh shit I was seeing pick 6 there.

Recovering scientist working in business consulting

tuten needed to be in motion in order for that to work

Was Chaplin just not aware that was a live play?

Kyron has got to run the ball on that second and long. He had the space. Too concerned with making a big play.

Fire Whit.

Really good punt there. Prevents them from having +value field position.

Moore is doing a great job punting for us today.

Ut Prosim Ad Dei Gloriam

Again, why are we not running Tuten

Our game plan is curious this week

"When I was growing up, Virginia Tech was a school that was kicking ass and taking names, and it's time we get back to that" - James Franklin

way to respond

GT seems to be getting positive yards on every first down play (except that last one}. That makes a big difference.

Ut Prosim Ad Dei Gloriam

3rd and long, let's go

good stop boys

It's incredible how this defense is more boom/bust than Bud's defenses. I didn't know it was possible

"That move was slicker than a peeled onion in a bowl of snot." -Mike Burnop

50 yard attempt.

nailed it.

Lmao...kid has been one of the worst K in the country, now nailing 50 yd against us.

Kicking 50% on the year, and he nails that against us. We can't have nice things.

Fire Whit.

I don't know who 42 is, but I like the effort!

"Take care of the little things and the big things will come."

Tuten sighting.

That guy Tuten is pretty good. Maybe we should use him more.

Yeah, we don't need to save him for special occasions.

Great run by toot

If you don't want to recruit clowns, don't run a clown show.

"I want to punch people from UVA right in the neck." - Colin Cowherd

We blocked that play like the OL thought it was a screen pass

SWEET!

In your face, GT guy who was calling it short!

I dont mind giving up field goals if we can keep scoring touchdowns. Need to finish half strong

"Why gobble gobble chumps asks such good questions, I will never know." - TheFifthFuller

Way too long to do a QB sneak. What in the world are we calling there?

Fire Whit.

A TD here would be really nice.

Ut Prosim Ad Dei Gloriam

Drones has got to start leading the receivers on these outside screen plays. Lane did great work to gain yards there. On the last drive, he forced Tuten to go backwards for the catch which shut down his forward momentum.

Why snap it before the 2 minute timeout? You have plenty of time, let the clock run and leave GT with less after whatever happens on this drive.

Recovering scientist working in business consulting

I too was yelling that at the TV. Goes back to the consistent clock management issues.

Fire Whit.

Need to Punch it in here. Especially since they get the ball to start the next half

If you don't want to recruit clowns, don't run a clown show.

"I want to punch people from UVA right in the neck." - Colin Cowherd

Absolutely fucking beautiful

Philly Special!

Go Birds!

"When I was growing up, Virginia Tech was a school that was kicking ass and taking names, and it's time we get back to that" - James Franklin

LET'S GO

Good stuff. Time to win the middle 8 here with a stop, then another stop after half.

Nice razzle dazzle for the TD

Ut Prosim Ad Dei Gloriam

My only complaint is that, we have left them a plot of time here at the end of the half.

Ut Prosim Ad Dei Gloriam

Now it's time for the defense to make a stop. I'll take GT calling a dumb TO before the PAT, too.

"That move was slicker than a peeled onion in a bowl of snot." -Mike Burnop

Hokie special!!!!!

Man, so jealous of Mehul. Loaded, living the dream, gets to hang out with the team on the sideline every game. Has given a ton to our program and helped get a lot of stuff going in the right direction too.

Nice play call!! I'll take the TO for GT as well.

If you don't want to recruit clowns, don't run a clown show.

"I want to punch people from UVA right in the neck." - Colin Cowherd

Need a stop here with GT getting the ball to start the 2nd half

Yes - v important to grind them into dust

"Why gobble gobble chumps asks such good questions, I will never know." - TheFifthFuller

Let's be greedy and ask for a pick six.

Doesn't matter if it's cake or pie as long as it's chocolate.

Lucky Delane didn't get called for an unsportsmanlike conduct there. Fantastic effort on the stop though

"That move was slicker than a peeled onion in a bowl of snot." -Mike Burnop

I thought we only did things like delay of game after the kickoff. Is Fuente on the GT sideline?

Recovering scientist working in business consulting

Why call a timeout? Playing with fire, man. You only do that with a defense you know can ABSOLUTELY stop them.

I think we think we can stop them. Love the aggression and LET'S GO get another score going into half

"Why gobble gobble chumps asks such good questions, I will never know." - TheFifthFuller

Great physicality by Delane there, but how the hell was that not a penalty??

third and long. get the stop

Your wish has been granted

Ut Prosim Ad Dei Gloriam

Pene making some big plays

Dude is having himself a game!

92 seconds. 1 time out. we gonna do something with it?

they put more time on the clock

6 whole seconds lost because we didn't call that timeout soon enough. That's potentially a whole play that just got lost. play clock operator was a bit slow to react

Thank goodness for resetting the game clock. I was screaming TO!!!

If you don't want to recruit clowns, don't run a clown show.

"I want to punch people from UVA right in the neck." - Colin Cowherd

lol me too

I started counting the moment that play ended because I assumed the coaching staff wasn't going to react.

Would love a Lane return for a TD here or at least a solid return to setup the offense to tack on more points

Dang, nice tackle. I thought he had something there.

Recovering scientist working in business consulting

Why???? Run that 1 yd short??

Thomas played smart there to get out of bounds to stop the clock

Ut Prosim Ad Dei Gloriam

Why not at least try to draw them offsides?

Unfortunately I don't trust us not to jump

VB born, class of '14

That first down play fooled no one. Kind of lucky that they called them both in bounds to keep the clock moving.

Only change is I would have tried to come up and draw them offsides. But oh well. Not angry with it.

If you don't want to recruit clowns, don't run a clown show.

"I want to punch people from UVA right in the neck." - Colin Cowherd

Curl route a yard short of the first is a choice

Danny is always open

Would love to see a downplay field there, but I'll take the halftime lead.

Fire Whit.

Exactly. After the first 2 drives went the way they did, I'm really happy to be up at the half.

Recovering scientist working in business consulting

Eh I'll take up 8 at half. $5 says there's a student exodus after homecoming halftime.

VB born, class of '14

A slow start, but we lead at the end of the half.
The slow start on the very first set of downs can be blamed of KDs fumble; starting way behind on the first second down of the game is a hard way to start the game.

Ut Prosim Ad Dei Gloriam

When I have been able to watch while hopping breweries things seem to be going well.....will try to stay more connected in the second half.

My wife takes the kids and leaves the house while I watch my Hokie games.........nuff said

A nice start to the second half

Ut Prosim Ad Dei Gloriam

Lane has been huge for field position when fielding these punts. Not allowing the bounce has saved us a good amount of yards.

Fire Whit.

Ugh. That offensive series was frustrating.

"That move was slicker than a peeled onion in a bowl of snot." -Mike Burnop

Not a great start for the offense

Ut Prosim Ad Dei Gloriam

Hmmm, zero carries by Tuten, 3 and out...makes note in notebook!

"Take care of the little things and the big things will come."

Giving the ball to Tuten at the start of a half is too easy and too predictable. So we're going to do anything else instead.

I get the desire to switch things up, but with a lead having a 3 and out without a Tuten run seems like a bad play calling sequence.

The disconnect between Drones and Felton has has caused us to miss out on at least 28 points this year. We have got to hit the long ball eventually.

Fire Whit.

I think the DB did a good job of affecting Felton's route. If that didn't happen, Drones's throw was on target

"That move was slicker than a peeled onion in a bowl of snot." -Mike Burnop

Caleb Woodson is going to be goooood in a year or two

"That move was slicker than a peeled onion in a bowl of snot." -Mike Burnop

One good sign. Drones lead Tuten on the last play instead of throwing behind him.

Doesn't matter if it's cake or pie as long as it's chocolate.

An INT there was sooooo close

Ut Prosim Ad Dei Gloriam

Not so much on the replay

Ut Prosim Ad Dei Gloriam

ref took that guy out lol

Woodson has great LB instincts. Really good find there.

I think he has the potential to be the impact WILL that French has been saying this defense needs

"That move was slicker than a peeled onion in a bowl of snot." -Mike Burnop

First half was way too quick. These commercials are going to be unbearable.

Fire Whit.

Now let's run the damn ball, please

Onward and upward

GT has been on top of that OZ run since he popped the big gain

"That move was slicker than a peeled onion in a bowl of snot." -Mike Burnop

A third down completion ... for a change

Ut Prosim Ad Dei Gloriam

Drones should have pulled that one, hopefully he busts one this half if the defense is locked on Tuten

VB born, class of '14

Why aren't the stats showing up on espn? Any other place that show it?

Reach for Excellence!

VT Football: It'll get after ya!

Proud Hokie since 2004.

This happened last week when I tried to see what the hell was happening in the South Carolina-Oklahoma game

Special Teams! Wowza

How did he not touch that ball??

"That move was slicker than a peeled onion in a bowl of snot." -Mike Burnop

When the S comes screaming on a Blitz like that, you have to have a reciever option to that zone

They need to review that

Camera angle is bad

lol that was some luck

damn lol

It didn't touch him.

"For those who have passed, for those to come, reach for excellence."

How is an illegal touch? Isn't that just downing the punt?

Kicking team touching it first and then knocking the ball forward.

I think it will be down at the 12 instead.

Oh well. they still got a bad field position.

sooooooo close

That was almost an empty hand idk about that

VB born, class of '14

On the couple replays that they showed it seemed like a fumble to me

false start

crowd is in it now

What was that?

I'm so tired of this defense playing with terrible contain

"That move was slicker than a peeled onion in a bowl of snot." -Mike Burnop

Please do not let them escape this.

I hate to say it, but I don't think Bowen is the issue for the offense overall. I think Drones is just so limited in the pass game. It's making us very one dimensional. He also kills a lot of drives.

dropped. thank God

Very definition of Key Play

let's put this away with a good punt return, and then a TD from tuten

ok. part one complete. good return

Halfway there

"That move was slicker than a peeled onion in a bowl of snot." -Mike Burnop

I feel like that was a predictable blitz like French highlighted in his review. Lucky with a drop

VB born, class of '14

Great punt return by Lane, need a touchdown here

"Why gobble gobble chumps asks such good questions, I will never know." - TheFifthFuller

Nice Job, Lane!

GT escaped some disasters there, but they still look like a team that has lost its way

Ut Prosim Ad Dei Gloriam

OL has taken a step back today

"That move was slicker than a peeled onion in a bowl of snot." -Mike Burnop

Tuten doesn't look as good when it's clear he's the only option.

Drones has to keep one of these. GT is dialing in on Tuten

Need someone with some knowledge to explain what has changed in the run game. Is GT just totally selling out to stop it? If so, why isn't anything opening up behind the linebackers? Are we just not attacking behind them with slants and crossers?

Drones "faked the pitch to Drones. "

That is impressive.

And now "Drones split wide, out of the backfield"

"Why gobble gobble chumps asks such good questions, I will never know." - TheFifthFuller

Offense has just disappeared in the second half.

Recovering scientist working in business consulting

Can't take a sack there wow

VB born, class of '14

Jeez this second half sucks

And now out of FG range. Just terrible offensive play letting GT stick around.

Recovering scientist working in business consulting

Bruh what is happening

"Why gobble gobble chumps asks such good questions, I will never know." - TheFifthFuller

How do we look SO GOOD on exactly two drives and totally clueless outside of that

"Why gobble gobble chumps asks such good questions, I will never know." - TheFifthFuller

Bowen is our OC?

Recovering scientist working in business consulting

No rhythm on offense. None. Make some changes now Bowen.

Fire Whit.

What the fuck yo

VB born, class of '14

We just started a drive at GT's 26 and got zero points.

Started at the 26 and attempted a 55 yard field goal.

I would've rather punted there.

All signs pointed to punting that away.

Our OL is a Trainwreck

Can't run block, can't pass block, just getting whipped 1v1 every play

"When I was growing up, Virginia Tech was a school that was kicking ass and taking names, and it's time we get back to that" - James Franklin

Disaster on top of disaster.

Oof

Onward and upward

UGH. The offense is killing us here. Bowen has no ideas on how to get things going and Drones is seeing ghosts again. Feels like the September offense again

"That move was slicker than a peeled onion in a bowl of snot." -Mike Burnop

Drones has had a very rough game in the read option. Consistently making the wrong call putting us behind schedule

"When I was growing up, Virginia Tech was a school that was kicking ass and taking names, and it's time we get back to that" - James Franklin

Bowen is calling the offense fine. Drones just isn't making plays. The QB has to make a play with his arm or legs. He's just hesitant to pull the trigger consistently. It's a shame we are wasting this WR corps.

Did not like that call. GT's offense has been terrible. Pin them deep.

Recovering scientist working in business consulting

Here comes a drive to tie the game after that series of mistakes

VB born, class of '14

Textbook example of how to completely destroy a scoring opportunity

What a choke job after that great return

One of the worst play calls of the season. I cannot believe we went empty and threw on third and long when a sack was the WORST possible outcome in fringe field goal range.

Complete waste of what was an almost guaranteed two score lead after the great return.

That block is a real bad omen!
The offense is getting pushed around.

Will

I don't understand why we haven't seen any QB option off the OZ run series. We saw Drones keep it once and it would've popped if not for a great tackle. And I'm not sure if I've seen any TE flat plays since the last TD drive.
EDIT: I'll concede that maybe Drones isn't reading any of these properly

"That move was slicker than a peeled onion in a bowl of snot." -Mike Burnop

That INT has been coming for a while

"When I was growing up, Virginia Tech was a school that was kicking ass and taking names, and it's time we get back to that" - James Franklin

Bailed out by the defense and a poor decision by their QB

We needed that INT

Isn't nice to hear that?!?!

That and the pressure are the reason that wasn't a TD

Luckily you were there to dress it up.

man we really can't do much on offense

Let's at least get a FG out of this. The way the defense is playing, that might be enough.

Recovering scientist working in business consulting

sheesh, is Felton ok?

give it to Thomas here

I figured they were going to buzz down for Felton head injury, not review.

Fire Whit.

Stick it in!!

Nice

At least we get first down again.

Drones!!!

Good keep by Drones!

"That move was slicker than a peeled onion in a bowl of snot." -Mike Burnop

Bom! That is the way.

Recovering scientist working in business consulting

Nice Drones play.

let's get another turnover, D. lol

Way to convert on the turnover, much needed!

Drones finally keeps it, love a little buffer but still work to be done.

Great read by Drones, Tuten got drilled in the backfield.

Drones with the triple threat trio of TD's.

Drones with rushing, receiving, and passing tds today!

"Why gobble gobble chumps asks such good questions, I will never know." - TheFifthFuller

The students really need to learn that there's a rhythm to the stick it in chant.. not just saying the words

So Drones has a rushing, passing, and receiving TD today

GT's run based offense should help us now. Run out that clock.

Being down so much, they're going to throw.

Great a backup to the backup. Hold on defense.

It's incredible. Almost automatic that a team puts in their backup/3rd string and they hit a big play

He is throwing some nice passes.

Doesn't matter if it's cake or pie as long as it's chocolate.

The Georgia Tech defense has Bowen's number.

Going to be an interesting fourth quarter. We can't ever make things simple

Fire Whit.

One difference I'm seeing between the offenses. GT is using an RB to chip APR on long third downs. We aren't and their DE Height is causing problems for us. Lucky the last one wasn't incepted by them.

This is something I struggle to grasp. Why don't we ever help out tackles out? Especially when one is weak in pass protection and the other is hurt.

Need to hold here to at least three though it may be 4 downs for them.

Need to get some pressure on the QB. Haven't had it all day.

Defense makes a big play.
Offense poos the bed.

Heroic play.

It's a bit maddening.

That blocked FG is big right now.

Another TOD by the defense, this time with solid field position but NEED TO CAPITALIZE

Get on my lawnmower, Brent Key!

good good. let's put this thing out of reach

At least get 3 points to go up by 3 scores.

Now lets get some points, Bowen.

This feels like Beamer era taking the air out of the ball in the 2nd Half

Like that defensive call there. Let's get some points now

They also need to bleed the clock on every snap

I'm starting to wonder if the figured out our signs at this point. They seem to know every play call

"That move was slicker than a peeled onion in a bowl of snot." -Mike Burnop

I'm absolutely hating this offense today. we've got nothing lol

This offense can't line up and impose their will. They need misdirection to succeed.

Doesn't matter if it's cake or pie as long as it's chocolate.

That won't help Drones' yards-per-catch average

Run out of bounds, pass complete for -1 (out of bounds), throw

Need to BURN CLOCK and score points and we didnt really do either

"Why gobble gobble chumps asks such good questions, I will never know." - TheFifthFuller

Now its embarrassing how bad the offense looks!

Good lord.

If you don't want to recruit clowns, don't run a clown show.

"I want to punch people from UVA right in the neck." - Colin Cowherd

This offense is butt ugly now.

There is zero confidence in winning at the point of attack. No attempts to run up the middle anymore and they've taken away the outside zone or pitch runs as well

"That move was slicker than a peeled onion in a bowl of snot." -Mike Burnop

Drones with two catches on the day! At least the second one kept the clock running.

I'm lost at how the offense can't do anything at the moment.

Can't even get a first down. Bowen needs to figure something out and stop playing "not to lose".

"I want to punch people from UVA right in the neck." - Colin Cowherd

Why is our offense so painful today?

Onward and upward

Theory: we know can win so we are not putting anything else on film.

Don't worry everyone we're just getting get the bad offense out of the way this week instead of in the dome.

Right?

I mean if we could have put any semblance of a drive together we would probably be at 6 min to go instead of 9

"I want to punch people from UVA right in the neck." - Colin Cowherd

I guess Chaplin really was key. If he's gimped or not in, we look terrible.

We're lucky that even with open receivers, GT drops the ball.

4th and 1

Jenkins made him earn that catch.

No chunk plays. Cmon. Make them eat clock if they are going to love the ball.

"I want to punch people from UVA right in the neck." - Colin Cowherd

I bet our defense is pissed that our offense hasn't had a first down in like the last 15 plays

Onward and upward

I mean one of those drives just eats some clock and this game is over.

If you don't want to recruit clowns, don't run a clown show.

"I want to punch people from UVA right in the neck." - Colin Cowherd

I see the strategy. We allow GT to stay close enough. Give up 1 score late and then we can win a 1 score game. It's science, right?

And we go and ruin it by getting a stop! when are we going to stick to the strategy? /s

Odds the D plays again today? 80%?

About 20% too low.

Know it's a team without its QB1, but the D has played outstanding today

Remember when the most common complaint on this site was how bad the defense was?

At least one first down please

Tuten has 16 carries. Feed him the ball and drain the clock.

Completely uninspired Offensive performance.

The offense has been atrocious this half. I feel like that first down we just got was the only one of the fourth qtr.

One of those drives got A first down this game would be over.

Tip of the cap to the GT freshman QB. He could be trouble in the future if he gets some help.

And he can play in all of the remaining games while keeping his redshirt. Would be a great way to prep him for next year. Was definitely better than the backup they started with.

Ugly wins need lovin' too.

well .. were... 1 game away from bowl eligibility

Amazing how you can look so bad while winning by 15 points. Well, I guess a win is a win.

Recovering scientist working in business consulting

I still remember how bad our 27-0 shutout of Delaware felt in Fuente's first season. Definitely many teachable moments in that win.

Ugly wins are still wins.

A win is a win, but damn was that boring. Still have a lot of issues on the O-line that need fix in'
