Virginia Tech earned its second shutout of the season, secured College GameDay, and remained undefeated. Cue GIFTORY.

SEXY SCREEN.
That feeling when you realize College GameDay is coming to Blacksburg.
LOOK WHAT I FOUND.
Wait for it. Wait for it. ... There it is!
"See in my opinion, I thought it was a one-on-one matchup with Cam," said Josh Jackson of his Phillips-to-Peoples touchdown pass. "So I just threw it up to him, and saw it got tipped, I think it hit Cam in the hands, and Peoples caught it. I just kind of laughed. Then I saw Fuente and I like, 'Oh crap.'"
Consider your GIFTORY request honored, Charles.
GIFTORY, out.

I love the girl in the white brimmed sunglasses (second to last gif) that's looking down her shirt and is like "Yup, they're still there" then proceeds to lick her lips.
She's just checking out that 2nd half airplane bottle of bourbon.
I completely missed that when I created it.
The woman farther up is licking her lips too. What is going on over there?
For some reason everyone forgot the sun worked that day, and chapstick was nowhere to be found. I was guilty too. There wasn't one cloud that day and the sun was brutal.
Funny you brought up "there wasn't one cloud that day"
As one does, I was drinking.... and during a lull or time out (I forget) in the 3rd quarter, trying not to heat stroke, I randomly blurted out "I JUST WANT ONE CLOUD!"
Apparently the neighboring fans thought it was funny.
Chicks dig it when Frank drops the mic!
The Wyatt Teller shrug when Jackson throws that TD tip is awesome.
Teller to JJ "Better lucky than good!"
Better lucky than good.This is what I get for not refreshing the page before posting.
^^ Both of y'all can take a two-day-old drink. :)
Hadn't seen the mic drop, so that made my morning. I'm convinced Frank could do damn near anything and it'd be amazing.
I haven't seen much talk about the Lets Go Hokies "tradition" this time.... how was it? Did they change up anything from the first week?
Yes. They had a music video start blaring and cut the crowd off right in middle/end of "Let's Go" and before "Hokies".
It was much improved this week. Frank did the first "Let's Go" and then the crowd took over in the usual cadence.
Now let's do that again against Clemson. Drop the mic, With the win!
Jackson and Teller's reaction to that TD is my favorite part of the whole play, lol
Now figuring out a way to gif Kyle Chung picking off the corner on the Cam screen
Pop quiz time: what coverage was VT in on the INT (first gif?)
I have no clue, idiot at football other than what you've taught me here, but I am going to guess man free. Seems like everyone is man to man except Diablo at free safety. Amirite?
Robber?
Defensive
Man free? Looks like only one guy deep with four guys in coverage.
I think I counted a 5-man rush with one of the D-lineman dropping into a zone. Means we sent 2 LBs on a blitz, so maybe out of a dime package as well?
EDIT: Dime package makes sense on 3rd-and-long in an obvious passing situation.
#LPD coverage
is there a previous post or information session I can attend to learn more about defensive schemes and packages?
been watching all my life and know the basics in man vs zone, but since I never played I don't know the ins/outs of particular nickel/dime, etc schemes.
Cover 1 Press Man #NCAA14
Cover 1 robber? Or spy?
Edit: it's cover 1 robber. I see the LB drop back into coverage
You are correct. I missed that LB dropping when I posted my guess above. Have a leg.
Thx. LBs show blitz and bring the heat with the boundary LB dropping back as the robber.
Do we get an "A", French?
Isn't robber coverage where the safety covers the zone closer to the LOS and the corner covers the deep zone. This way the safety is considered the robber since he is jumping the WR route on his way to intercepting the pass (ie robbing). Looks like Deablo is the deep zone the entire time.
I thought robber is where the DE drops into coverage after showing rush so the QB assumes that space is clear.
sometimes its referred to as the DE dropping into robber coverage on a zone blitz, but more often it's simply referred to as a zone blitz where the DE drops into a short zone coverage..
when I think robber I think a safety coming downhill or moving laterally at the snap to undercut a route that the QB might expect to break open over the middle based on linebackers vacating the area they'd normally drop back into by blitzing or following an RB out of the backfield.
I think you are correct. I think we drop an end into coverage on quarters some to take the zone of a blitzing linebacker to prevent the QB from making the hot read pass into the zone left by the blitzer. It looks like man with a single safety (man cover 1 as said above) to me, with Mihota spying the QB, though he might have the RB.
correct... 'robber' coverage generally refers to a safety coming up and playing short zone, often by sliding under an expected post or crossing route. They either rob the offense of the route or rob the offense of the ball, depending on whether the QB notices them... Linebackers or linemen dropping back and playing under short routes can be considered robber coverage as well.
Single high
Looks like cover 1 with a spy on a fake blitz.
Thing I love about that screen play:
Things I hate about that screen play:
I don't know the ODU player crumpling to the ground in front of the line of blockers screaming "not in the face" was my favorite part of that screen.
That's what she said.
I personally think Jackson could have sold it a bit more while rolling out. He only rolled out a few steps before opening his shoulders to go to the opposite side to Peoples.
Against a better D, they might sniff it out?
You can tell this is the son of a coach. More concerned with the response from his coach than the crowd.
From JJ's comments, it sounds like Cam was supposed to be there. Does that mean Peoples was supposed to be somewhere else?
People's postgame interview noted that he was running a wheel route so it was where he was supposed to be. Fuente stated that normally the play doesn't go for that long so the overlap doesn't normally happen... jus goes to show The wheel route is always open
Just like Danny Coale, the wheel route is always open.
Yeah, except Cam didn't catch this ball.
I think Peoples was running the right route. Fuente said they don't usually hold the ball for so long on that play before throwing, so that's why the spacing was messed up.
Edit: Beat me to it
Peoples looked to be on a wheel route. Play design probably expects a good bit more separation between cam downfield on a deep corner route at 30+ yards and the wheel route at 15-20 yards. Maybe designed as a zone buster (deep safety stays with Cam = Peoples open, deep safety crashes on Peoples = Cam open) but ODU was in man-to-man.
Jackson held the ball a little long before realizing it was man-to-man and Cam was in single coverage... then he put a lot of air under the ball, which allowed Peoples (who played FAST against ODU) and the DB covering him to catch up to Cam & his defender in the endzone.
In rewatching the gif though I think Cam catches it if Peoples isn't as far downfield. The DB covering Peoples disrupts the ball Or at least Cams vision causing the bobble
Thanks Joe!
New life goal here.
The man himself...
Nicely done!
I gotta ask...how did you know? No one else in the frame had any idea.
The camera man is an assistant principal at the high school I teach at. My brother (sitting to my right) and I had been posing and throwing up the VT hand signal right before this shot, thinking we were live then. I threw the thumbs up after that when the camera man waved at us, thinking that we had been on tv. Not realizing that I was live at that point.
Random, but Tom Fornelli hitting on a few key trends here - the fact that Narduzzi is a douche and that Pie worth ranking over cake.

What do you use for GIF creation? Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere, like 800 times.
