I hope we come out playing with our hair on fire, knowing that (1) Duke is no pushover and they have a lot to play for and (2) some guys are going to have to step up because of the injuries.

Last two games, I've gotten in my car with the game on the radio as I drove. The first half against UNC I was driving for our first two scores and that dominant first half. Against Pitt, the only touchdown we scored occurred while I was driving. I shall be driving again today, even though I don't have anywhere in particular to go this time. LET'S GO!

I'm nervous about this game and BC more so than I am Miami...
I really hope we come to play today. I don't think they're looking over Duke but the thought still scares me. Especially with the defense down a little bit today.
Let's go!

I've been nervous for the better part of all of our games outside of WCU. Wouldn't be Hokie football 2013-style if we didn't have reason to be anxious.

Was supposed to go to a Halloween party tonight so I was supposed to miss part of the game. I somehow found a way to not go. Now I get to watch the whole game. Yes!

#Hokies scoreboard has Dadi Nicolas starting at DE instead of JR Collins. No sign of Collins or LB Deon Clarke during warm ups.— Hokies Journal (@HokiesJournal) October 26, 2013
Seems like initial report was true. Also seems like Exum and Kendall are starting at corner even though Kyle was out for warmups. Let's see how deep this defense is.

Dang, I thought they were making a statement with that 4th down conversion. Sad that the by week appears to not have made much of a difference for our offense. This might be another close one.......

We're having trouble because of shadows. Not used to seeing those on the field. Yea, let's go back to noon. This game is starting to scare me a little.

Calm down...i am about 90% sure now the wind is killing both offenses. Anyone see how long that Duke ball floated past Crawford? Every LT pass has been off (even in his worst days, that wasn't the case). This is on the wind right now.
Log in or register to post comments about the Virginia Tech Hokies
this looks like the offense from 2012, this is garbage. aparently the off week did nothing, were getting decent chunks running but lt3 is back to his old ways wtf

the wind has been constantly increasing in velocity and it is worse in lane--we all know that. Until mother nature stops, the throws that are caught deep, will be luck.

We need some power in the backfield. JC is doing fine, but running between the tackles is not his strength. Bring in Trey and Sam or Trey and Caleb for the right strength/speed combo.

I just feel like our offense can't be this bad on accident. I mean I know you don't intentionally try to suck, but I just don't see how a team with Tech's talent can be so bad on offense.
Log in or register to post comments about the Virginia Tech Hokies
We need to come out a better team after halftime. I'm sorry, but this isn't the Virginia Tech that is good I've seen. This is the Virginia Tech that misses opportunities and sucks.
Log in or register to post comments about the Virginia Tech Hokies
Sorry guys, my frustration got to me. I just thought that he would play a little better after playing so well the past few weeks before the bye week. Hopefully he will play better in the second half, which I think he will.

I got excited after watching a very beatable Miami team play today. That is until I watched our 1st half performance. This is what I get for trying to think past opponents.

Logan's play is as up and down as a geriatric on Viagra. We had the ball near the red zone on a 2nd and 8...How do you miss a drop off pass to Byrn? He was literally 5 yards away from Thomas and he throws a completely uncatchable ball.
Log in or register to post comments about the Virginia Tech Hokies
The offense needs to hit a few big plays..the run game has gained yards inside. Makes you think Duke isn't allowing anything over the top and will live with the 3 - 5 yard ground gains.
Log in or register to post comments about the Virginia Tech Hokies
Hard to determine which is more painful. The clown-crew announcing the game on EPSNU, our offense or watching their kicker blasting 50+ yarders like Janikowski while our idiot kicker blasts the post.
Log in or register to post comments about the Virginia Tech Hokies
I don't know why anybody was considering that in the first play. Who in the world thought this team actually deserved a #14 ranking? The offense is fucking bad. Like, worse than last year bad.
2013 Scoring - 96 (23.1 ppg)
2012 Scoring - 83 (25.1 ppg)

so Logan's clearly not as good as he's shown, but this is unreal on offense I get our d just gave up a sloppy Td, but if our o was competent we would be in this
Log in or register to post comments about the Virginia Tech Hokies
I wouldn't be surprised if we lost this game. Logan is our entire offense, and if he has a bad game then we don't have any offense whatsoever. Couple that with bad play calling and Duke not making anymore mistakes, and we have a recipe for disaster.
Log in or register to post comments about the Virginia Tech Hokies
Hard to figure. He's probably short, but is it indisputable from a couple of angled shots? Nothing is straight down the line. I'll take getting a break, but I doubt we get it.
Log in or register to post comments about the Virginia Tech Hokies
I'm convinced Logan just throws the ball as hard as he can with no regard for where it'll end up. So when his arm was dead the previous few weeks was why he was so accurate

Thomas has flashes of greatness, but he is not a consistent QB, has no vision, does not go through progressions, indecisive, has no touch on he football... all have been on display this game

I want Exum to make a big play here. Just like he did against UVa, just like he did against Rutgers. I want a senior leader to step up and say, "Not in my house!"

I'm fucking sick of Beamer making excuses for Journell. The first and second time, yeah, okay. But now there are no excuses. Get him out of there. Two missed kicks is ridiculous would've been 16-13 now.
Log in or register to post comments about the Virginia Tech Hokies
You know Duke will not pass now. Not with our DBs playing well, and not while they need to run time off the clock. Straight-up running now. D-line and LBs had better be ready.
Log in or register to post comments about the Virginia Tech Hokies
Good stop right there but I bet they're going to go for it.... But as far as offense goes, this is it. If we don't score right here we can say hello to being 6-2 and not ranked.
Log in or register to post comments about the Virginia Tech Hokies
Yeah. This may be the worst I've ever seen Logan play. After several weeks of good decisions, he has just completely gone off the rails.
I can not wait to see a QB with a couple years of Loeffler coaching have the reins. Not looking for superman. But you have to find the open receiver. You CAN NOT force passes into double & triple coverage w/ the regularity Logan does.
Log in or register to post comments about the Virginia Tech Hokies
Game. This team just lost to Duke! Hahahahahaha. So freaking pathetic. There is no other way to put it. Honestly, how long will people make excuses for this offense?
Log in or register to post comments about the Virginia Tech Hokies
Worse offensive game I have ever seen. Duke threw 4 picks and converted NO 3rd downs and will beat us at Lane. Can't wait to hear Beamers excuses for this garbage
Log in or register to post comments about the Virginia Tech Hokies
We scored a big 10 points against both Alabama and against Duke. Let's play Leal some (at least just some?!?) to get ready for next year. I can't believe his decision making is any worse than Logan's and I really think any QB can score 10 points on Duke (for example, Pittsburg). Also, new kicker please.
Log in or register to post comments about the Virginia Tech Hokies
Besides, Logan needs to get some game reps at tight end, because its a pipe dream he will have a solid career in the NFL as a QB, that would be a Tebowesque move if he trys it
Log in or register to post comments about the Virginia Tech Hokies
For all the LT 3 haters out there he still had 300 Yards of offense 214 yards throwing and 101 yards rushing. He was rusty and made bad throws and reads the four ints show this but he was still our leading rusher and he completed 21 out of 38 attempts.
Dukes QB Boone for comparison had only 151 yards of offense 107 yards throwing and 44 yards rushing. He was his teams leading rusher and also threw four ints and only completed 7 out of 26 throws.
Statistically the better team lost today. I know that means nothing but it is a long season and we can still make it to the ACCG if we win out.
Log in or register to post comments about the Virginia Tech Hokies
It just never ends...4 INT's, two of which were of the completely inexcusable, "what-the-fuck did I just see?" variety. The other two interceptions may have been off deflections, but they were balls thrown into heavy traffic that should never have left his hand.
So yeah, he had 300 yards. He also threw it nearly 40 times, and ran it another 24. 5.6 YPA.
I just can't fathom how any rational person watched that game and honestly thought to themselves that Leal would have worsened our chances.

Let's Go!
Hokies!
Not trying to rain on your parade here but couldn't we have just started the game day thread?
Looks like it started doode
There you go boss
Thanks guys!
Ha, 69 is giving him the business. #imimmature
This is probably my favorite referee moment of all time.
I'm guessing we don't needlessly go for 2 against d00k.
LET'S GO, HO-KIES!
LET'S GO, HO-KIES!
LET'S GO, HO-KIES!
Today, I'll try muting ESPN, and have Bill Roth provide the audio.
can you stream the audio somewhere?
Local sports radio on VT IMG network
Is there any other way to watch the Hokies on TV? ;)
GO HOKIES!
Really hope VT plays better than Miami is right now.
I hope we come out playing with our hair on fire, knowing that (1) Duke is no pushover and they have a lot to play for and (2) some guys are going to have to step up because of the injuries.
JR Collins not playing today. From what I have seen he violated team rules.
smdh.
Last two games, I've gotten in my car with the game on the radio as I drove. The first half against UNC I was driving for our first two scores and that dominant first half. Against Pitt, the only touchdown we scored occurred while I was driving. I shall be driving again today, even though I don't have anywhere in particular to go this time. LET'S GO!
that is dedication at it's finest. props.
Undefeated when crock potting. Here is today's game day pot roast:
I'm nervous about this game and BC more so than I am Miami...
I really hope we come to play today. I don't think they're looking over Duke but the thought still scares me. Especially with the defense down a little bit today.
Let's go!
We'll still win.
Of course we will. I may be nervous but I have no doubt ;)
I've been nervous for the better part of all of our games outside of WCU. Wouldn't be Hokie football 2013-style if we didn't have reason to be anxious.
Yeah, I'm concerned about not having three starters on defense..
Was supposed to go to a Halloween party tonight so I was supposed to miss part of the game. I somehow found a way to not go. Now I get to watch the whole game. Yes!
Seems like initial report was true. Also seems like Exum and Kendall are starting at corner even though Kyle was out for warmups. Let's see how deep this defense is.
Damn..the offense needs to be on today.
ALLSTATE GAME OF THE WEEK! LET'S GO!!!!!!!!!!
LETS GO!!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Greetings fellow Hokie Fans let do it to it now!
What the heck... I have no picture on espn U right now, just audio.
Attack of the Killer Pumpkins!!!
Let's GO!!! HOKIES!!!
Wish Jr was playing
LETS GOOOOOOO......PUMPKINS!
Going deep early
anthony exoom?
But he pronounced Facyson right lol.
Who is Anthony Exhume?
Man, Exum just got his entire name jacked up
Did that commentator really just call X "exhume"?
3-and-out
Anthony Exume?
DIE!
Got lucky there. Nice coverage by the DBs on the first two plays, busted the third one.
Who got beat by 5 yards on third down?
3 and out! Good job D!!
Three and out
Hope the O line looks better today
ugh chop block
Man, we finally have a nice gain from under center and it comes back on a chop block...
OH IT'S FUCKING RON CHERRY! MY DAY JUST GOT 30% BETTER
Stupid chop block by Benedict.
He probably was giving him the business.
I hate Ron Cherry...seriously.
This announcer needs to get exhumed
Optimus LT3 Prime: Hokiebots...ROLL OUT!
oh no ron cherry
Zone stretch!!! But a chop block :(
Ron cherry got kindy chubby
C'mon offense...
Nice gain out if nothing right there JC
CRISCO, SET HUT!!!
Managing to a doable 3rd down after 1st and 25.
thats right milk them short passes
I can't stand listening to these announcers.
Sigh, 3 and out.
damn, trey was wide open
4th down QB coming up
Are there Hokie fans in the crowd????
Good ability to move the ball, but the 15-yard penalty was too much to overcome.
A Punt is not a bad play #goacc
These commentators... "AJ Uuuuuuuse"
Are garbage
F-k them!
'A punt is your friend' = VT offense since 1872
We got 21 yards in 3 plays. Its not like we sputtered. Announcers are a little harsh
Short 37-yard punt by Hughes - hope that was his worst punt of the day.
I don't mind some shorter punts if it contains their returner. He is explosive
Yea, the fact that he quickly called for a fair catch was good news.
We also had JC matched up with a LB out wide on the 2nd down play. I hope we take advantage of that later.
KENDALL FULLER!@
YAY KENDALL FULLER!
KENDALL WITH THE PICK!
YES KENDALLLL
HELL YEAH
KENDALL!
Ke FULLERRRR
I SEE YOU NO. 11
C'mon Offense!
BOOM KENDALL FULLER
That will help your Fuller Adjusted Interceptions stat
That was one heck of a job with coverage and with the pick. Played that like a receiver.
Run the ball. Run the ball. Run the ball
Nice little run by Trey
Yes! Positive yards on the ground
One Fuller? No problem.
Ohhhhhhhh taste a FULLER motherf-krs!!! =D
1st-and-Logan!
A 5 yard run!
LT3 faked the camera guy out, LOL
TURF MONSTER!
The paper boy thing really cracks me up
OL is run blocking well so far
Is it just me, or does the field look kind of shoddy?
And just like that...wham! Bam! We'll take momentum. Y'all won't be needing that thank you.
Would have been an amazing run if Edmunds kept his balance there.
Crossing route or LT up the middle
GO FOR IT!!!
TREY 1ST!!
thats nice to see
1st down Hokies!
Nice run by Trey to convert on 4th down! I like the "run from under center" concept.
Nice 4th down conversion!
Nice blocking.
our ruching game seems on point today
Our what game?
I mean it is Duke, we should be able to run it!
Impressive first down on 4th and 1
Bad throw decision there
wheres cline at?
bummer
ok WTF Logan
Logan doesn't seem to be seeing the underneath man in coverage...
Ugh - two LT passes into coverage.
Duke is sitting back in zone coverage
...going for it on 4th and 11?
It's windy.
I don't necessarily disagree, it's just such an un-Beamer move.
Going for it on 4th and 11?!?!?!?!?!
I would've tried for the field goal personally...
If we were in 4 down territory, I wish we would have tried to cut the yardage down some on 2nd and 3rd down with runs.
Dang, I thought they were making a statement with that 4th down conversion. Sad that the by week appears to not have made much of a difference for our offense. This might be another close one.......
Two un-kickable 4th downs on one drive. That's weird.
Loss of a yard and a bunch of bad throws. The run game was going fine from under center, it all went to hell when we backed into the shotgun.
wtf cline was about to be wide open
Okay, three straight head-scratchers by Logan. Hopefully he's getting them out of his system early...
Make that three passes in a row into coverage - what up, LT??
im speechless after the last 3 passes
3rd times the charm...guess d00k doesn't know how to catch
I don't get that. If we're going for it on forth down always, why not throw a short passing route on 3rd so 4th and 11 turns into 4th and 6?
Logan, our guys are wearing orange today please
Duke has all the deep pass plays covered high and low..that's Tampa two I believe. Throw it short and run between the tackles.
Time for another big defensive play
Cutcliffe seems to have done his scouting.
Your move, Lefty.
Tech needs to make Duke pay when they turn the ball over. I hope they aren't "playing to not lose" when Tech doesn't even have a lead yet.
Yeah we can run it if we stop the freakin east west runs and run it north south!
Dang J.R.! Missing 3 starters on defense....
Boone got too many yards there
Who is spying Boone?
Yay, they pronounced Exum right!
And then they promptly say it wrong again...
Someone get this guy a press guide!
False start! Go Lane Stadium!
I think Logan banged his head pretty good on his run....looked a little slow getting up...hope the effects are temporary...last 3 passes not good.
Running QBs always seem to beat us up. No bueno :( I hope they make him pay every time he thinks about running!
Dadi was going full steam there, haha!
Crowd doing there job
Duke is the first team to come out and respect the pass. Gotta run on them now
Two Dook penalties in a row... beating yourself is bad, mmmk?
Beep beep beep... back it up
Almost picked off
Almost another for Kendall!
Man, Kendall was inches away from his second pick on that tipped ball.
Aw, Kendall almost had 2....
Exhume again...
3rd and way long KEY PLAY!
ok EXUUUUUUUUM is starting to get on my nerves someone needs to smack that commentator.
Good stand! Do your thing, Logan!
Great D Hokies
Game break: UVA is a GT victory formation from being 0-4 in the league.
Block that punt!
Are we playing nickel?
Yes, #19 Chuck Clarke is nickel today
These procedural penalties are ridunk
I see Kyle Fuller out there on ST
Duke is rushing to get rid of the ball..worried about the rush but their online is playing well thus far..
Calling the Edmunds long run here!
I don't know but a certain angle from this broadcast is killing me. My eyes don't like it.
HE THREW THAT RIGHT TO HIM WTF?
Who the fuck was Logan trying to throw to there?
Wow LT sailed that ball and Stanford got lit up
Dammit, Logan with a horrible pick. At least Kendall offset him on the FAINT metric...
Well crappppppp.
what just happend
What is LT seeing out there?
stanford was wide open, just overthrew him by a mile
Well....nice tackle by DJ
What is Logan doing? Talk about an overthrow
what a bad throw
Uhmm, Logan? Wat?
Can we get back to running the damn ball please
Yeah, kind of looking like shit after that bye week.
Telling ya...weird feeling about this game
rough start LT. Let's get it going. . .
that was a horrific int.
does it look like the glare/sun is throwing Logan off to anyone else?
No, and rain doesn't make you lose.
thanks for the reminder.
KENDALL FULLER!!!
FULLLLER
KENDALL WITH ANOTHER PICK!!!
There we go Kendall!!!!
I love the Fullers
Fuller adjusted INT: -1
Already was, that makes it -1.
yea caught myself as soon as I hit post and tried to make an edit...
Kendall x2!
KENDALL YOU ARE FREAKING AWESOME I LOVE YOU
How many does that give him on the year?
Four I believe!!
At least 4...
Logan is now going over to Kendall Fuller and saying thank you sir for bailing me out
The defense is doing their part, your turn, Logan!
Damn, he's having a great game thus far!!!!
Go D!
Ahahahahaha, Kendall gets #2.5... he should have gotten that last one!
They were holding Dadi bad on that Int too.
dont worry offense, the defense will carry the day... again
Keep running the ball, please.
Maybe the bye week just really stalled our momentum...
And this is what a stalled 110 total offense looks like!!
Coleman is running hard
Fuller saves the shut out
Duke does always play us hard.
What is wrong with Logan today?
WHYYYYY. We have run for 3-5 yards a pop. WHy not run the fucking ball
Duke is the first team to respect the passing game and it's like we don't know what to do with ourselves.
Now Logan is thinking to much
Now Logan's really worried. That Int got in his head.
Bye weeks suck. It is our worst enemy
Gotta shake off this slow start. Getting a little ridiculous, but we can still adjust. D is staying strong.
Thomas looks unsure out there..it's like he doesn't know what he is seeing
Decent punt.
Can't even get a good bounce with no returner..
Logan, I love you, I really do, but you are disappointing me today... Ugh, that great interception and we have nothing to prove for it.
That game clock, it'll get after ya!
Logan started the game well with the short passes, complimented with a decent running game. Let's get back to that.
I'd agree, except if history has shown anything, it's that Logan can't reliably complete short passes.
Well, at least we should be back on top of the national interceptions standings after today...
One can only hope we add some other big turnovers, too
Maybe Logan just plays better when he's beat up? He mentioned how much looser his arm is from the bye week, maybe that's a bad thing.
LOL maryland beating clemson, and i guess taj boyd is out?
Loeffler needs to calm Logan down.
"Two interceptions BY Duke"...?
glad that was overthrown
Really could have used some safety help there.
Damn Kendal dropped another
Almost another for Kendall!!!!
Man, Kendall dropped #3. This kid is all over the place!
Kendall could easily have 4 picks...
Crowder is wide open yet again..got to make an adjustment on him. Jam him or something..no deep safety either over the top
It may not be much of an excuse but it looks pretty windy there.
Hot damn, Kendall almost got another... Have they not figured out that they should throw the other way yet?
Kendall WILL get that 3rd pick today. Watch.
Oh gosh, that one and the last one. He could've had 4... That's crazy. I love you Kendall.
I'm calling it... Hokies score a TD on this drive!
10 yards running in a circle for #34. Let's go score 7 now.
Another indecisive Jarrett return.
Okay, the offense needs to put a methodical drive together here! Drive down the field and punch it in!
I think we need someone else to return punts. Jarrett just isnt getting up the field
Oh Man I gotta be to work at 5 I was hoping it would be 14-0 or 10-0 by now.
Pound the rock!
YIKES!! TOO CLOSE
Did the offense practice at all the last two weeks?
Lucky that wasn't a pick-6.
Throw it away! Way farther than that!
i take it all back, lets play every game at noon please
I think Logan and Duke's quarterback are having a contest.
Stanford needed to catch that.
Why is LT so off today... The bye week did not do him well
I just want to bang my head into the wall on these passes
Is the wind so bad its affecting both QBs?
They said it was 5 MPH NE. That's a light breeze. Probably cooler temperature more than anything, affecting their ability to control the ball.
We're having trouble because of shadows. Not used to seeing those on the field. Yea, let's go back to noon. This game is starting to scare me a little.
I'm liking the shadow theory. Let's hope this sun moves one way or the other soon.
LT is so off. He mentioned this week his arm feels live again. Somebody beat his arm til its dead again please.
Okay, defense need to get us on the scoreboard 1st!
Calm down...i am about 90% sure now the wind is killing both offenses. Anyone see how long that Duke ball floated past Crawford? Every LT pass has been off (even in his worst days, that wasn't the case). This is on the wind right now.
No third down conversions yet for either team... UVA's D must be on the field for both teams!
can we atleast swing field position in our favor? boy i dont like this at alll
this looks like the offense from 2012, this is garbage. aparently the off week did nothing, were getting decent chunks running but lt3 is back to his old ways wtf
Only a matter of time until Duke starts hitting those wide open receivers. What will the offense do then? 3-and-outs won't work when you are behind.
the wind has been constantly increasing in velocity and it is worse in lane--we all know that. Until mother nature stops, the throws that are caught deep, will be luck.
I am gonna buy some DULUTH FLANNELS FOR SURE
So frustrating to watch. LT is lucky at the moment with some of these Duke drops
The bye week might have been the worst thing to happen to us. I'd like to see Loeffler lean on the run, and specifically Edmunds on the zone, more.
Yeah
we need too, so far we've gotten some ok yards running lets get back to it
3 straight good runs. Keep it rolling
AJ Hughes not helping his Ray Guy chances today either
Too many yards there
lol. This is great. And by great, I mean shit.
Kendall does his best impression of Dkembe Mutumbo (sp?) on that one.
+1 for an almost correct spelling.
can't avoid KeFuller's tyranny even when you beat his corner blitz.
How did we have a BYE week to get HEALTHY but ended up with Facyson with a concussion and Kyle Fuller with a groin injury
WE ARE GETTING OUR HANDS ON THE BALL! At least there's that
51yd good. Wow
Wow he curved that in
Well shit.
What an ugly, ugly game. This is not looking good.
Wind had zero effect on that freshmans 51 yarder, LT needs to nut up
Need to answer with a score. Seriously, please score this time, Hokies
Why didn't Beamer kick the FG..the wind wasn't a factor from 51
maybe we should have kicked that field goal too! Let's start scoring.
Yup, I'm wondering the same thing
Someone is having issues posting a pic...
I am going to calm down now. But you know your O has issues when being down 3-0 to Duke at home is concerning
YEAH LOGAN!
Need to score this drive
That was good, but I'm forgiving him just yet. C'mon!
theres a confidence builder
nice 9yd gain by Josh Stanford
Keep it going, O!
Edmunds with the 1st! That's more like it!
Nice pickup from Trey. First down!
Looking much better on this hurry-up drive!
Edmunds is grinding them down
Run it Scott..just run it!!!
Edmunds looks decent today. Let's keep this rolling.
JUST POUND THE ROCK!
same play 3 times in a row, I like it
POUND THE ROCK!
Nice set of plays right there.
Run blocking does look noticeably better.
I say this, but then zero holes open up on a critical 3rd and 2.
Heyo, check this drive out!
I don't know what the read was but Edmunds should have gotten that handoff
very true
I really wish we could get the running backs going. I thought that was the point at the beginning of the season.
Bleh.
3rd and short Hey lets give it to our smallest RB
Going for it on 4th down again...
why do we give it to coleman on a 3rd and short?
Idk that I wouldn't try a field goal... We'll see.
1st and logan!
1st down!!!!
First down LT3!
...and another mention of his height/weight - drink!
NEED A TOUCHDOWN!
um what?
First down HOKIES, nice running LT
4th and Logan :D
4th down, I don't like the read, It takes time to develop. Luckily LT can run through a middle linebacker
I'm glad we converted, but am I missing something? Do we not have a kicker today?
I'm glad they're being more aggressive today. It shows trust in the defense.
Wow the lag from my phone is ridiculous...
Paper boy!
1st Down! Love that Power-I!
3rd and Logan
4 plays to put it in. We need 7.
Somebody tell that girl in the stripped shirt and white vest that she can only sit during commercials, halftime, and when she graduates.
please score a SIX
I like that counter play
J.C so close
on the 1, nice job J. C.
Coleman with a nice run!
Someone but Logan needs to step up and punch it in.
I vote for #45. #14 if #45 is feeling generous.
MANBEARPIG AS FB!!!
Ha, Hopkins in at FB? Interesting, but that didn't work out at all...
Smallest RB up the middle..trick play alert!
Hopkins at FB but we need Edmunds running the ball
C'mon, punch it in!
Ahhhhh please please please get a TD
Heh, i did like Hopkins there.
Gotta punch it in here, especially after a timeout.
timeout, Hokies. We absolutely better get a touchdown here. Defense is getting lots of rest
We need some power in the backfield. JC is doing fine, but running between the tackles is not his strength. Bring in Trey and Sam or Trey and Caleb for the right strength/speed combo.
Duke defender very obvious holding Trey's head on the ground for a LONG time after his third run....where were the refs looking?
Wtf stop giving it to JC on runs up the gut.
TOUCHDOWN! But what is the flag?
OH NO!
Damn DJ.
Dag. Dumb penalty...
TD called back. Dammit.
COME ON!
Stop the music..Ron just gave us the business.
Damn it.
Run the same play
DJ, giving us the business
Premature and illegal, DJ.
sweet baby jesus
TERRIBLE DECISION.
NOOOOOO! NOOOOOO! NOOO!!!1
Damnitttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt
Grrrrr....
Are you kidding me. I hate this.
Smh, 10 minute drive..
Tell me you didn't know 100% Logan was throwing a pick on that play
Damn it again.
I don't get it. Is Logan incompetent of making a read today or is Duke just dropping alot more defenders?
This can't be happening!
OMG................................................................................
Damnit!
Come on Logan. You can't give up the opportunity for 3 points.
Unbelievable. Best drive I've seen in weeks and then that crap happens.
DjgdghvhjjgbnhfryivdrsshjtdRIVF
Did Glennon grow 6 inches and change to #3?
2012 looks all too familiar right now...
THE ONE THING YOU CAN NOT DO IN THE REDZONE IS THROW AN INT.................................. WTF
Even when our offense looks good, it looks like shit. You can only be "so close" for so long before it just becomes perpetually bad.
Hopefully the D can stay strong here.
Defense needs to make something happen here.
Kendall, get your third INT here so we can try to punch it in again...
I've been so high on Logan all year but this is one of his worst games ever that was a horrible int and bad bad decision
Why do we always struggle against Duke.
Sometimes I like Logan. Sometimes I just...
That's not how you tackle at all.
When your DT is 40 yards downfield making a tackle, something awful happened.
Why did our DT make a tackle 40 yards down field
WELP.
Missed tackle... missed tackle... missed tackle...
I'm so pissed off right now. Where are we today?
We are going to be down 2 scores at the half...#goACC
and a facemask on dadi
WHY?! WHY?! WHY?!
And facemask gives Duke first and goal.
WHY DO U GRAB THE FUCKING FACEMASK! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH DADI
This is becoming ridiculous. Come on guys.
Terrible play today. Terrible.
now the wheels come off
Edited bc I'm ignorant.
Then they come up big. I look like an ass. Tis okay, the team plays better when I look like an ass.
This feels like the marshall game all over again
intercepted by DADI! !
THANK YOU DADI
Annnnnnnnnd a goddamn facemask.
YAY INT!
This defense is awesome
DADIIII
Dadi with the penalty, then Dadi with the pick.
Sure, I'll take it.
Facemask then an Interception.
ALL IS FORGIVIN DADI, WHOS YOUR DADI AND WHAT DOES HE DO!
praise the lord
DADI'S HOME
As I say that...WHOSE YOUR DADI
PICKED BY DADI! Sigh of relief for now...
Another Interception!
Anyone notice how the announcers keep saying how great our defense is in between commenting about receivers being wide open?
At least it keeps them from scoring again. NOW RUN TO THE END ZONE!
Logan is missing wide open guys
I'd love to have two FGs on the board right now
PI!
there you go, Stanford!!!
Nice throw and catch right there..
Big gain by Stanford! First down!
Yeah, I'd love for it to be 6-3 right now...
Edmunds can catch, too
Yeah Stanford! You are an awesome player to rep my #5 jersey
There we go Logan
LT is finding his stride some finally
Kalvin Cline!
FG range off of Cline
Nice catch Cline! Got hit and held on to it.
Yeah, we need to get on the scoreboard before halftime.
The story on offense so far this season is all the points left on the field.
can someone explain to me why we dont always run the hurry up? logan and our offense always look best when doing so
Time of Possession:
VT 20 - minutes, but no points. Let's take the lead into halftime.
I enjoy highballs during happy hour but not down 3 to Duke..
Crap.
That drag underneath to Byrn is becoming REALLY predictable now. I wouldn't be surprised if Duke put someone in a flat zone to take that away.
Please make this Cody...
Smart play from Thomas there.
hope clutch Journell showed up
Again, looked good...then looked like shit.
Are you fucking kidding me today
Oh shit...
wow
Missed FG...story of the game.
I swear we can't do anything right on offense
This is why we don't have any FGs on the board...
L O L
*Sigh*
This football team doesn't deserve the win. Hopefully they wake up during halftime.
meh, neither does duke. This game is rough.
i want to hurt that commentator
i laughed when he said "inept QB play"
Most sensible thing the commentators have said all day.
They're right, we're serving up a win to them on a silver platter. This is a pathetic showing.
Have you ever seen a more pathetic half of "offensive" football?
I knew I had a reason to be nervous.
This game is looking kinda of like 2008.
Wake me up when it's over.
At least we get the ball first after halftime
Apparently our team is feeling logy from getting to sleep in today...
I just feel like our offense can't be this bad on accident. I mean I know you don't intentionally try to suck, but I just don't see how a team with Tech's talent can be so bad on offense.
We need to come out a better team after halftime. I'm sorry, but this isn't the Virginia Tech that is good I've seen. This is the Virginia Tech that misses opportunities and sucks.
BLOCK THAT KICK!!!
Does anyone else feel exactly like they did during the Russell Athletic Bowl?
I feel we win in an ugly fashion, yeah.
wow.
WTF WTF WTF OKAY
How can Duke have a kicker who can bomb it and we dont?
... at least it's still just a one-score game?
at least duke has a kicker
This is bullshit.
Not enough booze in the world for this fucking game.
alright everyone, is 6 to 0, not like 20 to 0 like last year. We cannot possibly play any worse on offense can we?
Not hard to see why we went for it. Cody has to make those.
And now I have to leave for work worried and stressed. Have a good evening fellow Hokie fans.
Negative Turkey leg because I have to leave for work... Not Cool stop the Hokie on Hokie hate.
Tip your hat to dook..they have out played the Hokies in the first half but thanks to the defense it's a one score game.
I hate everything
Hey Frank, how would you rate the offense in the first half?
This is Russel-Athletic-Bowl bad. What were we doing all off week? This is a disaster.
David Cutcliffe's Duke team is playing us tough. Our offense is stagnating. What else is new?
I won't be sad when Logan leaves.
Whoa guy.
Sorry guys, my frustration got to me. I just thought that he would play a little better after playing so well the past few weeks before the bye week. Hopefully he will play better in the second half, which I think he will.
Turkey leg! I'm sure LT is just as ticked off but we need him to play well in the second half to win this game.
Are we really doing this again?
The disadvantages of being 8 months away from 21 and being a commuter to your school.
D is playing good. Holding a very good Duke offense to just 6 points.
The offense needs to carry their share of the load now, too.
I was hoping this would be less losing at this time, now all the TCU people are making fun of me
Does anyone else agree that we are channeling LOLUVA football with the orange uniforms?
I don't really know what or why it happens, but we don't show up when we wear orange--no matter how much the recruits love it, we just don't show up.
We score one TD, and it will be a different ballgame again. We need to just run that ball early, and often.
Kinda sucks for the recruits to watch
And we've converted more fourth downs than third downs. #whatoffense?
This just in..FSU is nasty
I got excited after watching a very beatable Miami team play today. That is until I watched our 1st half performance. This is what I get for trying to think past opponents.
That was a painful first half, but on the bright side, we're one play away from tying.
Yeah, it's not as bad as what it feels I guess...
Trick: 1st Half, Treat: 2nd Half!
Logan's play is as up and down as a geriatric on Viagra. We had the ball near the red zone on a 2nd and 8...How do you miss a drop off pass to Byrn? He was literally 5 yards away from Thomas and he throws a completely uncatchable ball.
Would be nice to see a big kickoff return to start the second half for a change.
Going to try fullscreen. Maybe that's lucky.
C'mon Loeffler. You can do it, Logan
Knowles with a pretty ok return. Still looked tentative, but he didn't run 20 yards sideways.
The offense needs to hit a few big plays..the run game has gained yards inside. Makes you think Duke isn't allowing anything over the top and will live with the 3 - 5 yard ground gains.
Hard to determine which is more painful. The clown-crew announcing the game on EPSNU, our offense or watching their kicker blasting 50+ yarders like Janikowski while our idiot kicker blasts the post.
Let's try that great hurry-up again and score a TD!
3rd and short..play action time
1st down Trey
Trey willed that first down
Bad decision there Logan.
Okay, plays aren't developing well.
Big tear on Logan's jersey. Means he's having to run too much.
LOL.. huge hole torn in LT3's jersey
CLINE!
#93.
Easy pitch-and-catch there.
What is up with Loeffler calling first down Logan runs that go for 3 inches.
Kline scared me there for a second on that last pass.
UGHHHHGASDIGMSIPDGM
Terrible blocking has resumed. A lineman should never be standing around at the line of scrimmage.
Duke's defense shouldn't be allowed to get this kind of pressure on our backfield.
It seems the other team always guesses #3 has the ball. It would be nice if he gave it up once in a while.
Lot of juggled catches.
Tired of seeing these {expletive} sweep options. We're not Oregon.
yes, and these time outs...i wish we could have 3 left in the middle to end of the fourth quarter.
Timeout. Touchdown. Please?
Looks like halftime didn't help.
Wasted TO. Bad play calls...when did we get back to last season
REALLY?! 3rd and VERY LONG and you're going to burn timeouts?!
Got a bad feeling about today.
I'm looking at the danger/upset button. Please don't press it.
6 minutes of the third already gone..
I'm pretty much convinced now that Logan isn't reading anything on the read option.
Just guessing.
Got to go for it.
Geez. Gotta go for it again.
Go for it.
I'd pin them deep here..
Are we trying to set the record for most long drives in a game with no points?
SERIOUSLY?!!!
Seriously? *Sigh*
Terrible playcall. Need four inches, put the ball five yards back.
I hate our offense. Down-vote me if you'd like.
We have a 6 FT. 6in. QB and we do that....
No kidding. He could just reach that far if he wanted to.
WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?!!!
Can we stop with the LOLUVA? LOLVTO
I'm convinced, we're playing to lose.
Is this a fucking joke?
Should have punted..what was that? 9 guys in the box so we trick play them outside.
we literally had >| |<
this far to go...and instead of just throwing LT under center, like every normal team does....we pitch to a running back...great call
Question #1: Will our Offense score today?
Question #2: Will our Defense score today?
Please score, defense.
This is our ONLY hope. Seeing how incompetent our offense looks and lack of special teams
What the heck was THAT play on 4th and less than 1????
i wasnt surprised
Is it basketball season yet?
If VT Basketball is your fall back...ugh, it's going to be a very cold winter.
I'm going to use the mute button soon..
Is stinespring calling plays today
This announcer's voice is so annoying. And his lack of football IQ makes it that much worse.
reminds me of dodgeball and jason bateman.
Hey guys, we have 6 inches to go. What should we call??
I know, go east-west and run parallel. Fuck manning up and getting it.
At what point does the offenses ineptitude begin to crush the defenses spirit?
Had to switch TV's cause I thought I just saw Coleman try to go around the end on 4th and Logan's C#ck
We'll probably see a whole lot more running now by Duke. Come on D.
of course.
Duke scores a TD this drive and ends this game. Shoot, a FG probably ends it
I don't know how to describe how I feel. I have a feeling Duke was highly over-looked today... Plus, Logan Thomas didn't show up.
Can't ask the defense to pick off a pass on each scoring threat.
holding. of course.
We are more than capable of 7 points against Duke at home. Come on guys!
Well, at least we won't have to think about hypothetical situations where VT would make the championship game.
I don't know why anybody was considering that in the first play. Who in the world thought this team actually deserved a #14 ranking? The offense is fucking bad. Like, worse than last year bad.
2013 Scoring - 96 (23.1 ppg)
2012 Scoring - 83 (25.1 ppg)
2013 Total - 112 (328.4 ypg)
2012 Total - 83 (376.8 ypg)
They were both holding..coach K and Ron go waaaay back
Well it's getting ready to become more than a one score game.
Well hopefully we are a 4th quarter team b/c we're almost there.
STOP THEM, DEFENSE!!!
Even our defense sucks today. Fuck it.
haha...haha...haha....haha. lol.
Down-vote me? Seriously. You're sad. That was a nervous laugh at the situation, not at our team.
I picked you up because I understand.
If we don't laugh... we'll cry.
this can't be happening.
Ran right where the whip should be..
I cannot even with this game.
Well, now - that sucks out loud.
Seriously, now or never, offense!
13-0 looks like 130-0 right now
13 pts down feels more like 42 pts down with our offense.
We're about to lose to Duke people unless Baylor or Oregons Offense trots out for us on offense the last 20 minutes!
Time for someone to become the hero.
I wouldn't blame people for leaving early today- the football team isn't putting an effort on the field that's worth watching.
25 mins TOP and 0 points
Sigh.
Those one or two field goals we should have right now would make things a lot better.
so Logan's clearly not as good as he's shown, but this is unreal on offense I get our d just gave up a sloppy Td, but if our o was competent we would be in this
This game is over. What a debacle this offense is
Please someone make a play.
No mistakes, just a touchdown right here.
I wouldn't be surprised if we lost this game. Logan is our entire offense, and if he has a bad game then we don't have any offense whatsoever. Couple that with bad play calling and Duke not making anymore mistakes, and we have a recipe for disaster.
It's time to air it out with up tempo
I'm starting to feel like this
3rd and short... again.
either the team responds or it folds and loses
What Logan should think in his mind:
If Duke can score on our defense, then I should be able to score on Duke's defense.
Then, he should actually do it.
Virginia Tech offense, worse than last year.
2013 Scoring - 96 (23.1 ppg)
2012 Scoring - 83 (25.1 ppg)
2013 Total - 112 (328.4 ypg)
2012 Total - 83 (376.8 ypg)
Too close.
He didn't get it.
I doubt he made it. Damn.
Shit, they're reviewing it.
Why not put some time back on the clock while the refs stand around with their thumb up their azz
hes short, 4th down
He didn't get it. He has shown terrible decision making today
Hard to figure. He's probably short, but is it indisputable from a couple of angled shots? Nothing is straight down the line. I'll take getting a break, but I doubt we get it.
Zero effort from our team.
Got to go for it.
Go for it.
oh my, this just keeps getting worse.
Second time LT has thrown himself on the ground short of a first down. WTF.
Yes!
FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS HOKIE, GET A FREAKING TOUCHDOWN!!!!!!!!
all that work just to get 10 yards. yet, duke just cruised down the field on us.
Great play call, bad execution. Overthrew Byrn badly.
I feel like I am watching Jmu game again
Exactly
LMAO now the sneak
Just wtf did this coaching staff & team do during the bye week!?!? You'd NEVER see sh*t like this on Saban's staff or even from Klempsun.
Beamer had some guts right there..come on Hokies!
Shew, that was a relief. If he hadn't gotten that think of the field position Duke would have had awesome field position. Crap, over-thrown.
I'm convinced Logan just throws the ball as hard as he can with no regard for where it'll end up. So when his arm was dead the previous few weeks was why he was so accurate
terrible qb play from the 5th year senior
That's game.
Game over.
LOL
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR...............
DAMMIT TO HELLLLLL!
That pick damn near seals it. If the D allows any points here, I hold little hope of pulling this off.
What the fuck is wrong with this team
If we don't score right here, it's over.
it's like he is throwing at people that don't have a chance to catch it.
Ugh. I'm throwing up in my mouth - a lot.
They just did a shot of our recruits faces. Great display of Hokie football NOT
GG duke you earned this one
think we need a pick6.
Logan Thomas has zero vision. Down vote me all you like
Thomas has flashes of greatness, but he is not a consistent QB, has no vision, does not go through progressions, indecisive, has no touch on he football... all have been on display this game
I've been breaking my superstition during the game.
I'm gonna stop grading right now.
Good call. Everyone, whatever you're doing - do the opposite!
I'm superstitions with the jersey I wear during games..I started with 3, at halftime I changed to 28, but now changing to #7 lol
Must force 3-and-out...
Pass rush!!! Finally!
I feel bad for our defense. They have done a decent job holding them to 13 points, yet absolutely no help from logan's crew.
SOMEONE STEP UP, AND SCORE A TOUCHDOWN!!!!!!!!
I need more bourbon.
I'm so drukc....
Gayle baby.
Touchback! Finally, a break!
Why did you have to say that!!! Just kidding.
FUCK YOU, REFS!!!!
If they overturn this...
This would be one giant shit sandwich if they overturn this...
Why...just f-king why?
Screw you refs.
Well only 99 yards to go for the greatest QB in school history.
Honestly, that's a terrible rule.
Ron MF Cherry, and I don't mean that in a respectful way.
But a player who's out of bounds can't be the first player to touch the ball??
{expletives}
KNOWLES CATCHES IT!!!!
It seems to me that the player has an unfair advantage by being out of bounds to save the touchback..
i thought the rule was a player not forced out of bounds couldnt be the first to touch a live ball, how is that different on punts?
THANK YOU KNOWLES
KNOWLES!!!
I knew they were going to run that play!!
A HUGE BOBBLING GRAB BY KNOWLES!!! THANK YOU GOD!
Finally, thank you!
DO SOMETHING HERE, HOKIES!!!!!!!!
Knowles!! My heart stopped on the bobble
DEMITRI KNOWLES YOU GLORIOUS MOTHERFUCKER!
Me: OH MY GOODNESS!
My 2-year-old daughter: OH MY GOODNESS!
My wife: Something good for once?
Me: Yes!
My daughter: Yes! Go Hokies!
That's what I'm fucking talking about
HOKIES PLAYING ANGRY NOW, MAKE DUKE AND THE REFS PAY!
I can breathe for a second. Now please. For the love of all that's holy. Score. Please.
WE'RE GOING TO THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!!!!
...let's see what happens first, guys.
getting my hopes up again; hopefully not to be crushed.
Woah there, hold your horses.
WE MUST GET SIX
LOGAN!
Edmunds needs to run harder.
I was so happy on that completion to Knowles that I scared my dog.
great snag, Coles! 1st and Goal!!!!
Coles!
PLEASE! I'M BEGGING YOU!
I like #18 in the red zone. Now I would like a touchdown followed by a defense pick 6.
Yes, that would be lovely.
Preferably picked off by Fuller the youngest.
TOUCHDOWN LOGAN!
Stick the damn ball in the end zone!
LOGAN STUCK IT IN!
LOGAN THOMAS TD!!!!
The longest drive in VT's history!!
TD. I like that play - we should do it more often.
Finally! 99 yards because of course
I call it "the subversion of Ron Cherry."
Thank goodness we all changed what we were doing to affect the team's luck!
!!!!!!!WE HAVE A PULSE!!!!!!! AGAIN, IT'S DUKE!
Logan stepped up on that drive big time.
miracle in blacksburg
A little premature...
Yea, the miracle still belongs to Tyrod.
So, I'm gonna enjoy the rest of my bottle of gentlemen Jack, ...I had to leave the only place where I could watch the game.
So I'll have to follow stats on my phone.
Anyway, when I wake up... I hope things look better
Were you thrown out, or did you leave voluntarily?
Touchdown Tech!!! 17 13 Hokies!!! Wait, we didn't make the FG and the TD was called back :(
It only took 45 minutes but TOUCHDOWN!
TOUCHDOWN YES! DON'T CELEBRATE THOUGH. WE'RE STILL A TOUCHDOWN BEHIND. DON'T CELEBRATE.
THAT WAS A GOOD OFFENSIVE DRIVE. NOW I NEED TO GO BUY WOOD TO KNOCK ON.
Giggity?
Sorry.
TIME FOR A PICK 6.
We can't let Duke leave with the win. 4th Quarter needs to be all Virginia Tech
Ron CHerry really is the worst
Come on, defense! Keep this momentum!
The last time there was Zombie Nation was at Miami wasn't it?
A defensive touchdown would do nicely here, Bud
If we can score on a 99 yard drive, surely we can score on anything less than that.
One can only hope.
This word, "surely", I do not think it means what you think it means.
These ESPNU announcers are really, really bad.
false start!
Caught a break there.
That was one very interesting false start...sure looked like it was on the defense...
Move'em back..those false starts will get after'ya
HUGE HIT ON BOONE! INTENTIONAL GROUNDING!
Now THAT is Defense.
Momentum! I love it!!!
Hope it's not a horse tackle
YES SIR BABY!
Good, a sac and a penalty on them. I was scared. Love how they've done the key play on every down.
Luther Maddy... he'll get after ya.
We lucked out on that false start call. Gayle definitely looks like he encroached when watching live
Does that count as a sack?
Someone please make a GIF of Ron Cherry deciding not to throw the flag just so he could walk over Boone to drop it at his face
Hahaha! That would be fuking funny..he looked down at him when he dropped it in his face lol
Just Ron Cherry being Ron Cherry
Possession Duke 13:20Virginia Tech 31:40
Are we winning by 40 points?
Boone is out
LET'S GO!
Let's get the ball with good field position, no roughing the kicker here.
GREAT STAND!!! Time to score!!!
I love how the ref just casually dropped the flag on Boone as he took the fetal position
Great defense Tech..block this kick!!!
Major defensive stand. Come on, Hokies!
Huge play there
This is the most important time for our offense. Ever.
Come on Jarrett.
Can Kyshoen please take the punts up the field at least once?
We need a freaking touchdown here
It should be 55/99th's as easy as last time.
Oh how confidence has turned in this one.
FYI, Logan now has VT QB rushing TD record.
I think Jeff Grimes is trying to be the next DeChristopher. That is one wild goatee he's got going on, there.
Big yardage up the middle..can we call something else on first down?
We've been in quite a few 3rd-downs today. Not sure I like it so much.
They go through these downs sooo quick D: I almost can't look
We're killing ourselves by not getting positive yardage on 1st down.
3:15 on 3rd down now. I would rather us avoid them.
Didn't get it..
Line judge disagreed wholeheartedly.
I stand happily corrected
1st down!
First-down
Got it by a ball length!
I thought the spot on Logans 3rd down scramble was really lousy...
These 4th downs are threatening me with a massive coronary.
Good spot, yay!
Nice lil gain by Coles
Play action lives! Keep throwing short on first down!
I would love to see #3 and #18 step up and be leaders here and take us to the endzone.
This playcalling is f-king bullshitas is the execution!
JC 1ST!
JC with a nice pickup. First down Hokies!
Coleman has 9 rushes today? When did that happen?
THAT WAS FUCKING PASS INTERFERENCE.
That defender never turned around
Thanks a lot, Ron Cherry
I seriously hate that man.
The ball was late and that could have been called
Where the fuck's the flag on that one?!?!
That's an easy pass-interference call...
100mph fastball to #5.
Definitely a PI. Bad throw, though. If he leads Knowles just a bit, it's a TD.
Hosley got like 8 pass interference calls for doing just that. Such bullshit.
oh man
I... don't know how I feel about this
FGs are going to help here guys...
Cody's FG is good. We needed a TD there.
Defense really has to hold them here. BADLY.
What was the difference between Tyler's PI call and the non-call on the Duke DB in the end zone?
Referee bias.
Made the FG, but that's a bit of a disappointment. Should have had a TD on that drive.
Can they go back to check his first field goal attempt one more time? (just to triple check it didn't go in)
It's good!!!
Defense needs to stand strong here again.
Lets go defense! Come up big for the team, yet again!
I want Exum to make a big play here. Just like he did against UVa, just like he did against Rutgers. I want a senior leader to step up and say, "Not in my house!"
THIS! 1000x this!
Time for a turnover.
I guess Beamer is still expecting the defense to get one score too; hence the reason for the field goal. Come on D!
so close!!!!
DAMMIT. I thought we had that fumble. Just the kind of play I was hoping for...
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Dammit NO
Oh my goodness, that would have been huge. Darn it darn it darn it
Damnit!
It would've been awesome to recover that fumble.
Son of a bitch, Duke got it back
WHO'S YOUR DADI??
HAHAHAHAHAHA! WHO'S YOUR DADI?!
D
Who is your fucking Dadi!
DADI'S HOME!
DADI!
That's OUR Dadi!!!
DADI!
THAT'S 3 FOR KENDALL!!!!!!
KENDALL WITH PICK NUMBER 3!!!! OH MY GOD!!!
That was a clean block.
BOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM
KENDALL FULLER! but a block in the back.
FULLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER!
YES KENDALL BUT WHAT IS THE FUCKING FLAG ON?????
Fuller! Some ppl got smoked on that return..I mean lite up
flag on the return, of course.
Damn, block in the back. At least we get the pick.
Some intelligent dude said that Kendall would get his third INT today. I wonder where he went...
He could have 5 too. Insane.
THERE WERE ZERO BLOCKS IN THE BACK ON THAT RETURN. ZERO.
BS calls. I didn't see a single bad block.
Both of those calls were bogus..
Need a touchdown here
WHERE THE HELL WAS THE BLOCK IN THE BACK????????
I hope someone can show me where the block in the back was, because I didn't see one.
Need a touchdown BADLY.
Horrible decision by LT3. Come on...
STOP throwing the balls that are impossible to catch.
Much better throw!
No logan, don't do that.
The offense better not fucking sputter here. Seriously, just better not.
COLES IS CLUTCH!
Both of those "blocks in the back" were more like "blocks in the side"
DJ Coles with a huge first down. Come on, senior leaders!
Coles!
I don't like Ron Cherry. I can't stand him. Thank God for that first-down.
THAT DB WAS HOLDING ONTO COLES!!!!
ugh.
Looked like holding
WHERE THE HELL WAS THAT PASS INTERFERENCE!?
Please score
3rd and 10.... again.
Sigh, FG attempt coming...
Cody has to make this.
can never be easy
Nice run LT! Come on Cody..make this..
Please don't screw up Journell.
Missed FG.
Journell is terrible.
My heart hurts.
i can't take this
I knew it. Cody is a 50% kicker, trying to kick across his body. Just crummy football.
F.......................!!!!!!!
gotta make this
Son of a bitch
Cody it's been good. We will not be needing your services any longer.
lol, and the offense sputters. So bad, it's pathetic.
So frustrating.
God no. C'mon LunchPail, do your thing
*sigh*
Has Journell ever made one from the right hash? Someone remind me because I can't recall.
Beamer had better not blame that on some small defect. He straight up shanked the hell out of that ball.
JESUS
so Cody hasn't done a thing all year plus his suspension he's on my shit list
Once again, please make a play defense.
So, they can pick up some yardage, but fall completely apart in the red zone.
just go for it on 4th from now on
I'm fucking sick of Beamer making excuses for Journell. The first and second time, yeah, okay. But now there are no excuses. Get him out of there. Two missed kicks is ridiculous would've been 16-13 now.
The sad thing is the staff claims there's no better options.
There can't be many worse ones...
You know Duke will not pass now. Not with our DBs playing well, and not while they need to run time off the clock. Straight-up running now. D-line and LBs had better be ready.
And Duke passed twice.
Thank you, Cutcliffe? We hope.
I was stunned at the 2nd down call. A pass to the outside that would have stopped the clock? Crazy.
The 2012 offense not only gained more yards on average than the 2013 offense, but it also scored more points!
How much more can we ask of our D?
Before the kick we all knew was going to go left... 3 down lineman force Logan to scramble... WTF?
I mean -- I could have miscounted... but I could swear it was 3 rushers vs 5 blockers.
Two missed FGs that would have put us ahead by 3.
I'm sorry guys, I sneezed right before the snap. I take full responsibility for that missed field goal.
Can we retro-actively boot Journell from the team for his past transgressions? Never should have been re-instated in the first place.
KEY PLAY, KEY PLAY!!!
4 interceptions (almost 6) and we can only score 10 points!!!!
GREAT STAND!!!
3-and-out. Need a good return, KJ.
Stopped them yet again..can we get a touchdown please..just one on offense.
Duke timeout. We must win
Good stop right there but I bet they're going to go for it.... But as far as offense goes, this is it. If we don't score right here we can say hello to being 6-2 and not ranked.
I know the angle wasn't the best, but Cody, seriously
Touchdown or bust, ive seen enough of this weak sauce-play-for-the-fg-only-for-journell-to-miss-it playcalliing
Let's replace LT with Boone and put our DB's at receiver. It has worked all game!
Don't rough the kicker!
Ball on the 44 of Tech.
Well, folks - this may be our last chance to tie or win the game. Defense has done a great job today.
This drive is it, right here.
It is physically impossible for VT to lose to Duke in football. (we are this close right now)
And a pick. Of course.
FUCK! FUCK! FUCK!
LOL
400mph fastball
It's over. Thanks Logan. Thanks a lot. You and Journell deserve the freaking game balls.
Ugh
Logan looks just blind out there.
Four picks today. Just ridiculous.
oh god he was wide open and WTF
Logan with 4 picks. Absolutely no excuse for that garbage
Defense really must score here.
I think I'll go play in traffic.
Total Ron Cherry move. Signal delay of game and switch to timeout.
!!!!!! Logan interception!!!! Damnit! Get Mark Leal up...
if they had a competent QB who has been coached up for his 5 years on campus, this team would be dangerous
It looks like Logan blew off Moorehead on the sidelines too.
I finally had to mute those idiot announcers.
And the announcers just called us "Virginia".
We're doomed.
GEEZE NO!
They got a freakin' first down. Crap.
We lost to Duke....LOLVT
Be careful, I got down voted for saying the same thing. LOLVTO
ballgame
Call on the field will stand, because that's just how this game is going.
Was wrong. Come one defense, come up big! Again! As always, we rely on you.
Sad, just sad.
I can't wait for next year simply to see a different quarterback I don't care who it is!
4th down.
Can't believe it
Don't jump offsides.
Yeah. This may be the worst I've ever seen Logan play. After several weeks of good decisions, he has just completely gone off the rails.
I can not wait to see a QB with a couple years of Loeffler coaching have the reins. Not looking for superman. But you have to find the open receiver. You CAN NOT force passes into double & triple coverage w/ the regularity Logan does.
STOP THEM.
Had him and let him go..
Dadi almost had him
JARRETT.
Can't be mad at the defense. They simply can't do EVERYTHING for the offense.
Defense can't make every play. This is all on the offense and special teams.
Jarrett...c'mon buddy.
Game. This team just lost to Duke! Hahahahahaha. So freaking pathetic. There is no other way to put it. Honestly, how long will people make excuses for this offense?
That's the game..to many mistakes today
Slip sliding away.
Wow.
wow
Speechless.
Miracle time
Logan..I am giving you a very slow round of applause right now...FUCK
Two missed FGs and 4 INTs. You simply don't win games like that.
That's it. I'm surprised, but not. I was worried all week.
Worse offensive game I have ever seen. Duke threw 4 picks and converted NO 3rd downs and will beat us at Lane. Can't wait to hear Beamers excuses for this garbage
Man.
I blame the orange jerseys
We scored a big 10 points against both Alabama and against Duke. Let's play Leal some (at least just some?!?) to get ready for next year. I can't believe his decision making is any worse than Logan's and I really think any QB can score 10 points on Duke (for example, Pittsburg). Also, new kicker please.
SERIOUSLY! Pitt scored 50+ points on Duke. Our offense led by a 5th year senior should at least be able to get 20 points.
Besides, Logan needs to get some game reps at tight end, because its a pipe dream he will have a solid career in the NFL as a QB, that would be a Tebowesque move if he trys it
gameballs to logan "interception machine" thomas and cody "whiffleball" journell
Hats off to Cutcliffe. Much respect.
After the Marshall game I made a thread suggesting that Logan perhaps was a mediocre QB and got treated like a fucking pariah.
I'm all ears apologists. Let the herp, derp logic fly.
but he can throw it 100mph at his receivers when they are 5 yards away. so frustrated!!
anybody who looked at the body of work knew deep down you were correct
How about giving it a little time before acting like a total
...ironic
For all the LT 3 haters out there he still had 300 Yards of offense 214 yards throwing and 101 yards rushing. He was rusty and made bad throws and reads the four ints show this but he was still our leading rusher and he completed 21 out of 38 attempts.
Dukes QB Boone for comparison had only 151 yards of offense 107 yards throwing and 44 yards rushing. He was his teams leading rusher and also threw four ints and only completed 7 out of 26 throws.
Statistically the better team lost today. I know that means nothing but it is a long season and we can still make it to the ACCG if we win out.
Really you posted this twice?
It just never ends...4 INT's, two of which were of the completely inexcusable, "what-the-fuck did I just see?" variety. The other two interceptions may have been off deflections, but they were balls thrown into heavy traffic that should never have left his hand.
So yeah, he had 300 yards. He also threw it nearly 40 times, and ran it another 24. 5.6 YPA.
I just can't fathom how any rational person watched that game and honestly thought to themselves that Leal would have worsened our chances.
