Bowling Green / Saturday Open Thread

The magic of LSUfreek:

I'm at TKP Manor lurking and posting in this thread, French is out of pocket, Kevin and Brian are in the 'Burg, and the BCO is in the 757. Expect a summary of the game this afternoon and French's film sometime Tuesday.

Leave any thoughts on the game here. Go Hokies!

anyone streaming the game online?

Just thought I would ask

A new season...new hope

Yup.

Holmes is starting it off in the backfield. And on the first play Dyrell and LT3 look off, Dyrell goes inside on the slant, Logan threw to the sideline.

Three and out

But the camo helmets look pretty badass.

Akrema is starting at left guard, Via is starting at right guard. Beamer Co said Benedict would start at right.

Yeah, I don't like our effort already.

It looks like Michael Cole is playing in the Nickel package today. G-W came out on second down.

3 & out........... where have i seen this before

Am I the only one

that thinks these uniforms are pretty cool?

Nope, I like them a lot too. Great way to pay respect to our military, incorporate our colors, and look good on the field. Great job.

Incoroporating colors?

I only see the white and camo. Maybe it's the quality of my stream

Maroon facefasks and vt on the helmet

Good defensive series to start the game. Foster is sending Taylor and Tyler on early blitzes right through the A-gaps and they're hitting.

Legit helmets!

I hear the helmets are $600. A little to pricey for me, love to have one. As a former member Corps of Cadets I love the crest on the back of them too!

So, let me get this straight. We're going with Gregory just because Holmes and Coleman haven't done much/haven't really been given a chance?

Why does Holmes get to start

Why does Holmes start when he only pu$$yfoots through the hole!

Hello friends

I like watching opposing QBs get pressured. Let's see some more of that.

I was slammed at work this week, did we know we were goign to see more of TG22?

Row Z forever.

Nope. We thought it would be Coleman.

Second Series

Well, at least we got a first down. I really liked the play calls on the play-action zone read, Logan just overthrew Marcus Davis (badly). The pitch play to Gregory was pretty nifty too. Tech still can't crack the middle of the defense.

Awful coverage!!

17 was wide open near the sideline, BGSU is moving the ball anyway

Overpursuit

I like the presence in the backfield, but they need to have someone at home on the backside

in Fuller we trust

Atta boy, Kyshoen!

But who was the blitzing LB who faceplanted?

Tyler i think, he ran right by the rb

I think you're talking about the handoff where the RB ran by the blitz. I meant on the 3rd down play. There was a LB who was going to chase down the scrambing QB and he just fell on his face

Kyshoen

I think we've got a big time player on the field in KJ34. Solid tackler, seems to get the scheme, play maker.

Row Z forever.

Agree.

Another beautiful play on that 2nd and 3

UGH

We've watched some brutal offenses over the years, but this year's incarnation of the offense is just depressing.

This is worse than the 2006 edition.

Reminds me

of the terror I felt when Dave Meyer took the reins of the offense.

How they expect

How do they expect to get a running game going if they don't run the ball... and where the deuce is Coleman?

in Fuller we trust

I see no offensive improvement another 3 and out. Cant run the ball, no wr are open, logan throwing off his back foot and almost go picked on the 2nd drive

I know Davis is supposed to be fast, but I have yet to see him get behind anyone other than when someone missed a tackle last week.

in Fuller we trust

RVD was in at whip on that play! Maybe our incessant lobbying has worked?

2nd-and-14

That was Logan's best run of the year.

Row Z forever.

THE BULLDOZERRRRR....

LTrain pulling out of the station

Good work Logan

Need more first downs! TOP is ridiculous this game.... Again

in Fuller we trust

It's worse than i thought... 3 offensive scores the last 17 drives

Did Miller get benched, or are he and Farris rotating. Farris is in now, Miller had that high snap earlier in to the game.

3rd false start

Good job finding the hot read with the check down LT... keep it up. I have faith.

Gregory has some pop

Prefer him over Holmes right now.

Row Z forever.

Fo sho

Then he gets crushed on that pass play...damnit.

Row Z forever.

I LIKE THIS PLAY CALLING. THIS IS VIRGINIA TECH FOOTBALL. MORE OF THIS STUFF.

Row Z forever.

Great blocking

on the option pitch

#3RDANDLOGAN

Thank you baby jesus a td

That was the best drive of the year. Looks so familiar. Fantastic work.

Row Z forever.

FUCK YES. BEAUTIFUL PLAYCALLING AND EXECUTION ON THAT DRIVE. LET'S GOOOOOOO....

Coleman!!!!

That dude is fast as hell!

in Fuller we trust

The was the best drive of the season, great play calling and execution to attack the outside and use of Logan to gash the middle.

Hot hand

It's amazing...you let a guy touch the ball more than once a quarter, and you can find a guy with a hot hand.

Heck yeah!

Ok I like how we are sticking with 2 backs right now. RBBC can work, but not with 4 RBs. Coleman and Gregory for the rest of the game please!

Drive

Now that there was actually a solid drive let's see if O'Cainspring can not go to braindead play calling on the next series.

in Fuller we trust

How far off the LOS are the tackles?

These guys look like they're 1.5-2 yards off the LOS at the snap. How is that not illegal formation?

Row Z forever.

Holmes on the return instead of Jarrett?

2 back there?

Was it the formation where both are deep and maybe it was kicked to MH20's side?

Row Z forever.

Maybe.

Not sure.

Why is Holmes in there? Thought we were going with the "hot back"

B-E-A-UTIFUL!

Yes

Then just switched over to ESPN just in time to see a UVA interception. Cavs are down 14-0. Yay.

Row Z forever.

I've got both. VT streaming online (don't have ESPNU) and UVA on TV.

Boom sauce!!

Amazing how the pass opens up when you can actually run it!

Finally... dyrell is in the building... run opens up the pass and td

Boom

THE TERPS?!?!?! GO ACC!

Yeah and Wake is no longer losing to Army

RVD in the game

is reason enough for a "stiff breeze."

(Great tackle by KJ34)

Row Z forever.

KYSHOEN JARRETT!

I love this kid!

He's making a ton of plays today, just all over the field. Exum has looked remarkably better after his stinker last week. He's getting up in the box and sticking his beak in against the run and is covering very well.

D came to play

Marcus davis... smh, the ball hit him in the chest

Yup, he definitely needs to make that catch. Also, the play got reversed, thankfully they got it right.

Marcus Davis....please learn to catch...seriously

Anyone else think that ref is just like Obama??

JERSEY DRAG.

COME FOR A RIDE, HOMEBOY

Row Z forever.

JC Coleman reminiscent of RW's jersey tugging run

Coleman looks good today

LOGAN WAS IN

Look at the camera from the back of the end zone. His leg was not down.

Row Z forever.

Oh no thats not good

Bad hang nail?

Cut i suppose but it looks like it was bleeding pretty good

I WANT ANOTHER TOUCHDOWN

If we get the 3rd down stop.

AND WAS LOGAN'S NAIL RIPPED OFF?

Row Z forever.

This

We rule.

Row Z forever.

Looked like the coaches were going to try to push before the end of the half. Then Michael Via got beat badly one-on-one in the pass rush to give up the sack. Has Benedict gotten a snap?

So glad we decided to give it a shot instead of just taking a knee though. I can't stand that.

Lucky that pass was bad. He was WIDE open. Our coverage still scares me

Coverage is either suffocating or nonexistent

The pocket

Really happy to see the pocket move today.

Row Z forever.

Missed xp, really?

I will be interested to see how many snaps G-W got today. Hokies seem to be playing a lot of Nickel, G-W out, Cole in, and Ronny Vandyke has gotten snaps at Whip.

Brent Benedict

BB55 was absolutely smoked on that third down sack.

Row Z forever.

Marcus Davis can't catch to save his life some plays. Is he scared on the screen passes??

Bad decision by lt

Why didn't they run at all

They have a little success with the run and then move completely away... Grr

in Fuller we trust

And then they give it a go again and pick up 24!

in Fuller we trust

Gregory with a great block on the return. Not quite RVD-caliber, but it did the job.

Oh yeah!! I'm becoming a Gregory fan after today

Do we have a 5th string RB we'd like to get a TD now too?? Love the score but I want to see us start going with 2 guys (Scales at the goal line is ok too)

Trey Edmunds? Just kidding.

Hahaha well played sir. French wishes!!

Great job by the 2nd team D preserving the shutout. And great play by Frye to break-up a sure completion. Though, RVD probably would have had his say about whether that completion would be "sure," as he was in the area and likely woulda laid that dude out.

Leal isn't really impressing me here. Hope LT stays next year and Bucky Hodges steps in his sophomore year

Took too much time to make a decision on that one play. Too much dancing in the pocket, couldn't decide whether to run or throw, and almost threw a pick. I agree with you.

Go Hokies that's more like

Go Hokies
that's more like it!

fsu's defense doesnt look so invincible

and i got sunburned like a motherfucker today but we had great seats.

that is all

"That kid you're talking to right there, I think he played his nuts off! And you can quote me on that shit!" -Bud Foster

I would have to disagree with you on this. The later the game got the more dominant FSU's defense became. Clemson got a lot of big gains on trick plays not using a standard offensive sets. On a side note FSU's offense looked scary.

Don't ever let the pressure exceed the pleasure. - Joe Maddon

what scares me

are transitive inequalities here...Are we going to hang 49 points on FSU? We probably could have on Saturday against BGSU...and yes, that is why they play the games, but dang.
