Best. Analysis. Ever.

We just need to keep momentum in our favor and keep the crowd out of it. From home it sounds just as loud when they are on offense as when we are (except 3rd down for us)

A lot of football left to play, but I love it. Our guys look like they're feeling it right now, and if we can maintain this intensity on defense and the same level of consistency on offense (minus that sequence in there when we were backed all the way up), then I like our chances. Go Hokies! Shock the Shoe!

"Exit light..."

You could kind of tell field position was huge in the first half.. really moved the ball every time we had good field position, but didn't do much of anything those few drives we were backed up (I'm sure some of it was just not wanting to make a mistake with the lead)

And why can't we upvote posts?

Just need to stay strong. Lots of hands on the hips on BOTH sides.

That will be me in the morning working on the hangover and/or the fact I never went to sleep

I'm so glad this is happening with Josh Sweat getting a close look, let's hope we maintain it in the second half and make a good impression on him.

If anything this should be indicative of what we can do with chips and walk ons. Imagine what bud could do with 5 stars

I thought we weren't putting it all on the back of the QB anymore? Too soon for "3rd & Brewer"?

-What we do is, if we need that extra push, you know what we do? -Put it up to fully dipped? -Fully dipped. Exactly. It's dork magic.

My reaction to the game so far... Especially after Sam Rogers TD

My Mama says that alligators are ornery because they got all them teeth and no toothbrush

Joe, you are the best!

Two big keys to our success thus far - 1. Field position is helping us a LOT. 2. OhState is horrible in the red zone. Some because of us, some self inflicted. It's nice seeing our D rise up to stop them time after time. Last thing - Brewer is one cool cat. I cannot remember a QB come in and immediately show such poise since... oh THAT's why he's called Vanilla Vick!

With second half as good as the first half, VT will bring the W and maybe some high ranking recruits to Blacksburg.

My film review is going to suck if I have any more strokes like when Rogers caught that TD.

Five star get after it 100 percent Juice Key-Playing. MAN

French, we'll take a bad film review for a victory.

Yeah man, that was great. We have so many of our friends that look for him now. I got so many texts after his TD it's almost like he's bean assigned as an honorary relative or something.
It was a great TD, they did everything correct to make that happen.

This is going to be great for the ACC.

JOEY SLYE WITH THE HIT

Someone needs to get an image of this one. He really did nail that returner.

Kid is pretty diesel, too. He and Hughes are a good pair.

He also popped up screaming "Let's GO, let's GO!!!!"
VT...home of the butt kicking kickers.

Just watched the replay for a second time. It's like spaghetti. It just tastes even better the next day.

Has anyone noticed that we're playing a 3-4? I mean it's working...

I've seen the 30 package on 3rd-and-long situations, but haven't seen a 3-4. I have to rewatch the film, but it looks like Bud is using a TNT 8-man front with the other end lined out wide.

I may have just seen 4-3 over/under fronts and confused them with a 3-4.

BEAUTIFUL DEFENSE. PRESSURE PRESSURE PRESSURE LAST EIGHT PLAYS, THEN DROP 7 AND GET A PICK ON THE OVERTHROW DUE TO BARRETT'S CONFUSION!

(Three and out is no good though)

Gotta keep from making a mistake first, Brewer will find something sooner or later

WE'RE GONNA WIN!!!!!!!!!!

Wat

I can't even remember the last time I saw our redzone stats look like this

They'll really get after ya
