Leave your thoughts on the North Carolina game, and anything else going on in college football here. Go Hokies!

Remember...
Leave a skidmark on their whiteout.
Let's go.
Kickoff!
Where's everybody at?
Antone Exum
Great closing speed on that PBU
Quite the crowd in Chapel Hill
A solid 20,000 turning out for a division game. Way to go. #ACC
HELL YEAH! THAT IS HOW WE PLAY BALL! Beautiful read option on the fly sweep
That Dyrell catch
needs a gif stat.
Awesome series for the offense.
I agree. That catch was the embodiment of the words "badass" and "toughness."
Holy cow a td
ANNNNND it was in the first quarter!
Im in shock
Gross hit on Roberts
But about as good as the O has looked. D still looking shaky - they missed a potential long pass and great Exum closing speed and pass breakup prevented another.
Wow. Just wow.
Beamerball baby wooooooo
Well, offense, time to go to work again.
Herp....Derp...
that is all.
Welcome to Virginia Tech, where momentum comes to die
Is it safe to say "Beamerball" is dead?
Quite possibly.
maybe
but Holmes just saved 20 yards of roll with a 10 yard punt return catch over his shoulder.
Of course, that was pretty risky...
Yeah, I saw a coach telling him to fair catch that one next time.
didn't realize that stat
our entire bowl streak, no kick-off TD returns...
Why not run forward on that play?? I'm sick of trying to stretch EVERYTHING to the sideline.
Logan made the wrong read
(If it was a read play)
It almost looked like a designed sweep to the right, but I guess LT could have kept.
Branthover should get the next kickoff. First 2 by Abbott have been short and terrible.
Frank is telling him to kick it short
Abbot hits 60 yard field goals in warmups. He has more than enough leg to boot it out the endzone if he was supposed to..
I thought Abbott was knocking them deep last week - but the 2 kicks so far have been low and short.
Isn't Abbot on kickoff because he gets better hangtime so the coverage can get there? Obviously didn't work on that kick return.
Defense is playing well so far.
False start?
ON THE QUARTERBACK???
5th year senior everyone
So Roberts can catch it while getting lit the fuck up but can't catch one that hits him in the facemask?
defense
is it just me or is everyone except for Bonner exactly where they are supposed to be???
Except James Gayle isn't supposed to be in the neutral zone.
Youre not going to hold this unc offense all game, offense needs to quit screwing around
Yep. Starting to get a little nervous.
Exum is playing much better today.
SENSELESS PENALTIES. UGH.
And horribly timed.
Ugh.
Goddamnit. Derrick Hopkins, you better make up for that. Stupid offside. Leads to a TD. I hope you're proud of yourself.
can we stay on side on just 2 straight plays? please?
The missed holding call on 3rd-down was absolutely atrocious.
glad I wasn't the only one to see that.
I agree, I saw that too...
#3RDANDLOGAN
I liked the sweep look instead of straight up the middle. That's a new wrinkle.
THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL. I'M CRYING.
MAR-cus DA-vis!
clap
clap
clapclapclap
Nice route the db was fooled
Dyrell to the locker room? still shaken up by that hit?
From @VT_Football
"Dyrell Roberts is being taken to the locker room by the training staff. We'll keep an eye on that for you."
What the hell just happened?
Wtf /?? Wowwwww
Was that bonnet or taylors
Was that bonner or taylors hole?
I think Bonner... There's no way Bruce could have gotten there in time.
Bonner strugglin!
Missed that gap hard..
#SCALES4HEISMAN
Liking the screen game to Coleman
Short gains here and there, but he'll break one eventually.
Was Logan going for Fuller or Coleman there? And did he just not follow through? You've gotta make that play.
Coleman i believe
3 is better than 0... at least the D got to rest
True... That was a 7 minute drive. Would have been nice to get 7 though.
Scissors on the field? Better than a grenade!
Nice snap....
HUGE MOMENTUM SHIFT. TAKE. ADVANTAGE. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.
Only down one possession at halftime? And we get the ball. Let's go guys.
3&out
This is such a beatable UNC team. No reason we shouldn't get this one back under control.
The flood gates are opening
Dimitri new straight burner?
And then going for 2? Say what?
It was too early to go for 2...
you kind of kill the momentum from that by failing to convert..
HOLD THEM!
Or not.
Defense
looks tired….
Credit
Got to give them credit for that stop though.
Nice
Sums the season up so far perfectly.
Wow that was quit total quit
That sound
was the wheels coming off this season.
Do we really think they have any motivation to throw the ball with an eighteen point lead and almost the fourth quarter?
Apparently we do since we cant seem to focus on the running back
wow...loss of contain....we could have 12 in the box and it might not matter
So worst defense in years, no running game and inconsistent passing game, big plays given up on special teams. Any positives here?
I suppose minus the drops Logan has looked better and Knowles is awesome. Not much else to build on.
We seem to have a decent punter this year.
Welp unc has no pass defense but it doesn't matter now
And somehow it's an 11-point game with the thick-side of 8 minutes to play. We need a quick stop, and it looks bleak, but there's a chance we pull it out.
Pathetic, if you touch a receiver its interference
Yeah
That was weak
Lol the intermediate and short routes are working so lets throw a screen that hasnt worked all day and waste time
And it's over... FSU and CLEM might hang 50+ on this D
Like showing some fight
But short of a Foster miracle I don't see how we compete in the division. FSU/Clemson are going to be a nightmare capable of laying 40+ on us, Miami not much better, and Duke/UVA won't be easy. Maybe we pull a Clemson and look terrible against everyone but them.
I have to keep telling myself that this season has to continue to go this way for things to change. If we somehow managed to win the ACC Beamer would talk about how far we came this season, and would praise the coaches. I just hope we don't embarrass ourselves against Clemson and Fsu.
It's going to take more than one season for things to change (or for him to change anything).
GIF
After the ball got ripped out of Holmes hand's, the GIF up top isn't as funny anymore...
Well at least FSU lost?
That actually sucks
We need somebody (freaking ANYBODY) in the ACC to put together a Nat Champ run. FSU was (WAS) the only team that could do that this year, and I don't see how they could now, unless they steamroll Florida. Their conference schedule is going to be a liability, including whatever terrible Coastal team manages to finish 5-3 in conference and wins the chance to get thumped by FSU.
I know it would be good for the ACC, but I didn't want to see them go all the way. They didn't seem to deserve it after we've worked hard to win the ACC since joining and they've pretty much stayed silent. They would have one year with a good team and an easy schedule to get there where we've worked hard since 2005 to compete in the ACC and win it. Their national title game would mask all the hard work we've put in for three ACC titles when they were sitting silent year after year with top 12 recruiting classes.
I agree, although we as a conference always provide SUCH exciting games for the national media to dissect and laugh at after our NC contender has a pathetic showing (Just glad that it wasn't us getting laughed at for once... We're comfortably in the mediocre background.)
I know it looks bad, but I was getting sick of FSU fans talking crap about the ACC and how it was "ruining their strength of schedule" when they can't even get through it undefeated. I still think we should be proud of how well we've done in the ACC since joining despite this year.
Just makes you hate 2010 season, doesn't it? If we don't lose two WHATTHEFRIGGINHELL games to Boise and JMU, we're in the National Championship game after going undefeated in ACC play.
I've never been so angry at a football game as that last Boise drive and how we let them score. I was basically numb by the JMU game. Tyrod deserved better than that after how much he matured and had given this team.
I agree...
The way that we fought SO DAMN HARD to come back and lead in that game after being down by 17 (I think?) and all the special teams miscues (blocked punt, personal fouls on punt coverages, etc) and then to lose it like that? Terrible.
He had the best game of his college career against FSU in that ACCCG though. That was beautiful... I'll always cherish that one in my heart. Was watching that one with FSU fans from my high school in Jacksonville. Man, was that a sweet sweet victory.
Hmm, dunno, I don't remember that FSU game as well as I do both Nebraska games...
I remember those better too, but I enjoyed the FSU game because I could make fun of my FSU friends while I was watching it.
