Let's Go....
HOKIES!!
Krogering!
Definitely feeling McFarling this week.
#nojinx
On my way to watch Oregon-Washington. ... It's rainy and cold. I'm not too thrilled because I'm not a fan of either team. ... BUT... The tickets were free. Game is the same time as our Hokies game.
I say that to say this... I'm gonna turn my phone off around game time, watch ore-uw, then turn it back on AFTER I get back home and watch unc-vt. Nobody would be looking for my deep input otherwise, but just letting you guys know.
LET'S GO HOKIES. FUCK UNCHEAT
At least you get to tailgate on a boat.
*Sailgate
I'm worried about Hooker forcing it to Hazelton over and over and over again. Willis did it last year a few games in a row until it burned us and he was forced to distribute the ball. After last week, I'm concerned Hooker is going to fall into the same pattern.
Hopefully he can also force it to TT.
Yeah, it feels a little dirty using TT for anyone but Tyrod.
In honor of the Heels wearing their stormtrooper outfits (watch that exit from the tunnel!):
Sold out
All maroon jerseys
Maron fans
Sideline full of recruits
30 mins to kick off and fans are already filling up Lane
Looking good so far
Act like you give a crap! So disappointed
I've never been so wrong. They believed and turned it around and cared and left it all out there. That's Va Tech! Can't help but think the recruits were impressed if they had a heart beat.
Fantastic - my local provider is YES network, and they have decided to tape delay the game until 2am so that they can show Yankees rerun coverage. I detest RSN.
Why is it so hard to stream this. Any help would be appreciated
Try YouTubetv
Orange smoke on sticks gets me so excited ... /s
What channel on directv? Duke/uva on accn
Friendly reminder ESPN streams game of the week in 4K for direct tv customers. It's the Washington game this week. Been watching tnf and the alcs in 4K and its amazing.
not sure of DTV channel, but I have the logo of NBC Sports Washington showing up on my YTTV broadcast
Got it, 642
Forgot to answer your question. It's on nbc sports Regional in the mid Atlantic, or your friendly rsn provider.
UGH, can't watch with my Sling subscription *again*.
Pollard was being held bad
sure did look like it. there was nobody between him and the QB and it made it look like he was standing still.
Wayyyyyy too easy
Deablo suppose to help over the top there?
Zero safety help. DBs have been disappointing this year.
Just found the game. Glad to see the defense is playing to form.
Conner was bad on that play but that hold on Pollard seemed so obvious I don't know how you kiss that
"Kiss"
don't judge, some people choose alternative lifestyles.
Welp this is fun
Dang, this is about to get ugly really quick isn't it?
Looks like Washington-Oregon is on. That sounds like more fun.
We need a pass rush.
Whelp, there is his first TO. Let's see if it breaks this team.
Well this team sure looks ready to play in their most important home game of the year...
We suck again. Nice.
Our best defensive play so far, UNC is offsides.
Bruh.. did you really just say that the offense was offsides?
How do I watch this game? I have ACCN on YouTubeTV but it's not on. I'll I get when I search is a replay on Fox sports south
My YTTV broadcast has the NBC Sports Washington logo on it
My broadcast is on Fox Sports Ohio, but you can also watch it on the espn app using the youtube tv login. I tried that first before finding it on Fox sports.
Thanks. Tried that but the ESPN app isnt working for some reason
I'm streaming on espn app, but I live in San Francisco, not sure if it's available in other areas of the country
Me too...
Our defense (CPI security redzone) needs to step up (CPI security redzone). We need a big stop (CPI security redzone) and then a score (CPI security redzone).
and I can't watch since I need a VPN to hide the fact from Youtube that i'm overseas so I'll just look for the hokietapes version on youtube later. Saw the score update though. Not great bob. Go Hokies though.
Farley looking so much better this year.
Who needs a game clock anyways?!
My buddy just texted me from inside Lane saying that the game clock is also frozen in the stadium.
Farley is ready to play.
One of the first stops (preventing a TD) after a turnover all season. Let's goo!!
0-10 before the first media timeout. Not hatin but nice to just watch some football without interruption.
Finally put in McLease to try and figure out the complicated kickoff return
Well, we basically started with a 10 point deficit, hope we can crawl out of this hole...go HOKIES!!!
glad to know that Fuente dismisses his fumble rule for all QBs
Giggidy
Hooker would not be denied
Best player coming field! Oscar!
Man we really struggle making the tackler miss.
Lol. Top DBs out, let's run 18 times in a row. Someone called that in the DB thread.
Cornhole was afraid someone at UNCheat read our thread.
Jerry said we gotta run the ball. We can only do one thing at a time at VT.
They should give us ten points for that punt.
I'd settle for 2 and the ball.
If only we had a pass rush. It seems to has eluded us.
I'm not sure how anyone on this website still believes in this coaching staff. UNC has a bus full of injured DBs and Hooker is basically our only effective weapon on offense? With Turner and Hazelton both available?
????????
Our offense is based off of play action. You have to run to setup this offense up.
Well it's a good thing our interior rushing ypc has been the worst in the Power 5 for the past 3 years.
People have been saying that they are "setting plays up" and to an extent, I get that. But when 30% of your plays go for 0 to negative yards, it's no longer cunning and is just shitty ball.
I know it's early, but this team has shown such a turn around over the past couple weeks, especially considering the year they were coming off of. Even down 10 I feel confident and the team looks like they're having fun.
I don't know why I was downvoted lol
Chatman really showed effort keeping the ball out of the end zone there.
Great D. Tucker drops one in his lap
We have the worst defensive line ever. They literally never get pressure.
this didn't age well
D blows
3rd and 9 and we let them walk right up the middle . . .
Maybe our O calls the delay or qb keeper on 3rd and long bc it confuses our D so often?
That's tragic. But so accurate.
After failing virually every other time this season...the 3 man rush is bound to work at some point? Bold strategy.
Hmm...a loss now puts us in the Coastal cellar at 1-3 with GT and Miami......wow would that be an embarrassment. Better shape up quick in this game or the pitchforks are coming out again..........
The first quarter isn't even two thirds of the way over yet lol
Guys tailgate too early today?
D-line has no pressure
They are shredding our defense
How may 10+ yard plays will we give up...more like how many will be less than 10.
Waller is not good
Hot take
Wait.....we're losing and Curly of the three stooges is calling their offense?......I swear that's him......
The defense is just putrid today. We are blitzing the safeties regularly because there is zero pass rush from the line.
That is a pathetic call.
At least Farley looks solid
On defense he is the only player to look decent.
Are you seeing Ashby?
Man, this could be a long afternoon. That UNC QB is very talented and we're giving him tons of time to throw.
Gotta give it to Bud for at least knowing the game is past him and its time to step down. This is torture.
The middle has continuously been wide open.
Our LB's without Tisdale are liabilities in pass coverage
Oh look another huge gain right in the middle of the field...
We could use a little of that Hokie magic right now.
You can tell the UNC plan is to take advantage of our weak secondary. The previous films speak for themselves. Just like how Miami smoked us in the second half. UNC knows and they are taking it to our secondary
Wish our offensive coaching staff knew how to develop a custom game plan as well.
Farley single handedly keeping this defense together.
Why on Earth is Dax playing over Tisdale? He is killing us.
But but Dax is such a true Hokie... somehow some people seem to think that make him deserve the starting spot.
Put. Tisdale. In. The. Game.
Why do they keep throwing at Farley? Literally the only one doing anything right now...
I do love how well Farley has played this season!
Looking like ass so far. Let's get it together team!
If we can pin them inside their own 5 yard line every time, we might be able to get some stops today.
My god this is putrid! We forced a punt to give our offense its third drive, down by 10 points.
Pathetic! Burn it all down! This team is horrible, they lost to Clemson of all people by 1!
Would love to have us get right back within one score right now.
Looks like we entered bubble screen mode. It's gonna be a long game
Omg turner sucks! Couldn't even score on that play! Putrid!!
This aged poorly. Even with the sarcasm
Turner missed your "/s" and took it personally.
Are we EVER going to throw it downfield???????
Yes
Yeah lol
Big play Tre!!!!!
Way to fucking go Hendon!!
Hi Tre, missed you
Hooker made the wrong read there! Thank god foster knows cornelson is horrible and is stepping down gracefully!
Putrid!
Bro, do yourself a favor and put the bottle down and slowly back away from your phone/pc..
Huh!!
LET'S FUCKING GOOOO BABBYYYY. HOOOKER CAN SLING IT
Nice pitch and catch!
Geez, a throw downfield!!!!Geez it's successful!!!!!!
What the heck took so long to do that?
That was a beaut
Big play tre only cut the deficit to 4!! How horrible! This is the worst we've looked in a long time! Putrid!
chill bro
No, everyone saying the sky was falling 5 minutes ago broke me. I wasn't the first person to say "putrid".
I'm the guy up towards the top that said the team has shown such a turn around and looks like they're having fun.
I'm pretty chill. I'm making fun of the people that thought the sky was falling
Touchdown Hokies!
The big play Trey show bitch
I'm drunk, but I think there needs to be a comma in there somewhere. Either way, I like the enthusiasm. Have a leg.
I'm so glad the announcers know about big play tre
Can we do that drive again and not the whole runs up the middle to nowhere thing? Thanks in advance, Brad.
Let's do the force a punt one as well.
So it's 10-7 end of first. Given how poorly we have played I think this result is good. The 3 points UNC has was on the offense. The defense is still very porous and that will be the issue going forward
I really don't think we've played that poorly. Foster is well known for adjustments, it's just the start of the second.
This game could be a lot worse after 1 quarter
I notice the N.C. wide outs block
That's on Deablo ......
Diablo has constantly been out of position today and has been very passive when he has been in position to make tackles. He needs to play with a little more aggression.
Now this defensive stand is looking good on the pass rush!
That did not get to the los
Foster seems to be letting them get to the iron curtain at the 50 to force a touchback. Bold strategy bud!
Turning up the heat.
Believe it or not a pass rush makes a big difference.
I'm a believer.
Cant get the game anywhere...blacked out on espn App and not on youtubetv
NBC Sports App
R/cfbstreams use an adblocker
No wonder we got a stop, Terrell is out there.......
So UNC has 16 passing plays and 12 running plays. They have been pass first given the weakness in our secondary. However in the last possession UNC balanced it more and the defense held them. A good trend.
Did he say "Big Stone Geaap, Virginia?"
One of those should have been caught. But at least we got another Bradburn punt inside the 20
Man, Hooker looks brilliant. Need to axe the drops.
If we keep catching the ball, we'll score.
Hooker looks great. Crazy he didn't start the year. Gotta catch those balls.
2 catchable passes....Mitchell gave little effort and Smith just had poor concentration....smh
Dude Farley is playing great today
Would love to see Farley take one to the house.
Holding, please. That was so obvious.
Made Hunter look silly....gotta make that tackle...
Holding call and it's second and four?????How does that work?
Yeah wtf is going on here??
It was a spot foul
Defense is going to cost us this game today. Can't tackle, no pressure, constantly out of position.
Our defense is so bad
All they have to is run the ball we can't stop shit!
In fairness, I dont think it matters if they run or pass. They will score bc we cant tackle or cover, and we are slow.
While I would like to see a very hard legal hit on Daz, I would actually just settle for a touchdown to get right back in this thing.
I honestly wouldn't mind if someone just laid the wood to him. Obviously wants to come in and talk trash since he's too good for VT.
I guess the best statement we can make is to simply score more points than them. Hopefully it pans out.
Defense needs some luck.
All this comes from a dropped pass that would have kept momentum on our side.....
This defense...smh
Hunter is...not very good.
It's hard to tell who, individually, is not very good. Seems like we are less than the sum of our parts.
Omg a player makes one missed tackle bute been playing well and in position the rest of the game. Let me hop on an internet forum from my couch with my Busch light in my hand and tell the world he sucks. Our fans are...not very good.
I'm going to blow leaves for awhile.
UNC with 15 1st downs
This defense has not progressed from last year, Bud
I think it's worse
SCORE AND BALL BACK
Very poor series for D. These guys just are not that good. Corners playing soft. Linebackers unable to get by blocks. Poor pursuit. I never thought I'd See this day but here it is
I saw this day about 6 or 7 times last fall and a few times already this season. The defense is lacking talent and is broken in so many different ways. There was no way that group from last season was going to progress very far over a single offseason.
I think the back end is a lot better but we don't have the horses up front....dline recruiting has to get better or someone has to outplay their ranking...
Farley has been decent in coverage (tackling is still awful), but there are just so many plays where the camera pans over to the opposing team's WR and we don't even have a db on the screen with him. The lack of pass rush contributes to that, but a lot of the busted coverages have been on relatively quick passes.
A little Air Jordan perhaps 🥴
We get the ball first in the 2nd half. Can we score a TD before the half?
Almost feel like Bud going is going to be a good thing for everyone. The program and Bud. Nothing lasts forever.
Yep. Perfect time to turn the page.
Holy shit where did McClease get that shake from?
The fry store
Mitchell made up on that one....great catch...
If we can just literally do everything right all the time, we'll win this game.
Great drive!! Do that again!!
Fuente took over playcalling and ain't told nobody...
Offense with Hooker is not the problem. Cornelson is not the problem. QB play was and defense is, the problem.
I'm not going to lie, HH has exceeded my expectations through the air. He's really got potential to be something special in Blacksburg.
I lied. How much smoother does this O run with HH!?
A NRV country mile
Folks we have an offense!
McClease having a JC Coleman break out year?
Man Howell has struggled when we can actually get pressure on him.
Definitely saw this called in the halfwits thread I think.
We'll have time to take the lead at half....let's go...
First 3 and out by the D? Pass rush makes a difference
Here's hoping for a score to end this half, and start the second half (and many more)
McClease is gonna get himself drafted...
Haze blocking downfield!
Hilgart Hype sighting on that Keane catch
Is hooker as accurate as 2010 Tyrod?
Is it just me or am I seeing our O line opening up holes for our runners?
I know wtf?
I don't like that call....
Are playing for a FG?
yeah and to not give them the ball back with any time on the clock
Ouch......that is a limp
Shut shit
That replay of Hooker's leg was not great
In fact it was ugly
Ankle or knee?
Looked like knee to me
Dont watch the replay if you have a weak stomach or past knee injuries. My knee is sore now...
Please God be ok.
VT football has some sort of voodoo curse.
We can't have nice things....smh
That....that sucks.
It's almost like this Hooker guy that was on our bench was a highly recruited 4*
Please let Hooker be okay....
Omg can't believe the game is over now because of lightning!!! We won!!!
Are you fucking kidding me!
WOW!
FADEzelton
That's throwing into double coverage with Hazelton bailing him out....I'm nervous about the 2nd half...
Maybe we just throw a fade to Hazelton into double coverage on every play now?
Scared money, don't make money!
Wtf, did not expect Willis for the fade to Hazelton at the end of the half. Love it
UNC did and still couldn't stop it!
From Downtown!!
I'm listening to the radio broadcast and I think they said the Hooker injury is a knee injury but they'll give an update at halftime
I NEED AN INJURY UPDATE!!!!!!
Could be up 7 if not for the first fumble. Defense getting their senses back. Offense was clicking. Probably Willis to finish the game.....hold on to your butts boys and girls
I feel like I'd let Hooker borrow my ankles for the rest of the day if I could. Just saying.
I would as well, though he probably wouldn't want my old ass ankles
Now I'm really worried about the second half...
ThIs TeAm FoLdS aT tHe FiRsT sIgN oF aDvErSiTy...
A good offense is like a tetanus shot against that
That is a hyperextension at best. I am very nervous for the 2nd half.
Hooker has been a revelation for our offense.
Aren't bad ligament tears in the knees cart off type injuries? Is there any hope at all because he got up and walked? Grasping at straws so hard right now.
I had a teammate in high school tear his ACL and meniscus all in one play and finish the 4th quarter. It feels like a pain you can play through at first sometimes
Not necessarily. I completely tore my ACL on the soccer field and was able to walk off. I thought I just sprain it and tried to play again the next week. Didn't know until I had MRI
You can walk on a torn ACL. Lateral instability, but def not carting off for a ligament tear unless you did something else with it like a meniscus or Patellar tendon.
"Good play to stay at home and knock down the dangerous Hooker." Unfortunately this ain't GTA.
.
Something tells me Hooker knew while he was still on the ground after that play but didn't want to accept it.
Crap Farley gone for the day
Wat?!
What happened?
Is this coming from the radio broadcast?
What what the hell????
Klay walked off against Toronto.....with knee injuries you never know.....but the way he was walking like the 🐧 didn't give me confidence that we'll see Hooker again this season....🤞🏾
Also, don't know if it's been said but McClease is playing well so far
I really hope he's OK. For 1 half of football it felt like I was watching my Hokies again.
If that ends up being what I think it is, I just feel sick for Hendon. He's played better than anyone could have expected and to have it derailed by a non contact injury just sucks!
If Willis plays smart football in the second half, this will all come down to the defense. If they play like they did on the last drive, we'll be fine. If it's like th rest of the first half, we'll...
Time for the D to step up and play with some fire! Bring it home boys!
The hell!! Farley and Hooker questionable
Those are two tough halftime losses. Would love to see the team pull together and go all out and play an inspiring second half.
Umm wtf happened to Farley?
Okay wes mcelroy on the VT radio broadcast- Caleb Farley out the rest of the game. (Damn it). In his interview with Fuente- Fuente just said Willis is ready. Willis the only one warming up. Hooker on sideline but does not have a helmet.
Good sign that Hooker is still on the sidelines...
Well we're fucked.
Did Willis give up to quickly on that play?
Yes
Yes he did. He is playing scared
I wouldn't hate Patterson here. We need to play for the future.
We need to win this game
Patterson might just give us a better chance.
Willis in. Flat offense. Three and out. Our defense is going to have to step up to win this.
Might as well play Patterson
Willis looks like a giraffe with cement galoshes on after being used to watching Hooker
Well 1st series.....
And we suck again
We'll it was a fun second quarter
Look for the ball.
No Hooker, No Farley....no bueno
Willis ball is back.........
Is he still hurt? Time for QP?
Already 0-1 on his reads
Defense was close to a stop. That's improvement.
Don't like our chances in a shootout with Hooker out of the game.
There is no such thing as a shootout with Willis as QB
we keep trying to fit a square peg into a round hole and not configuring the offense to Willis's strength
Same tape same story. Secondary gets torched.
Doesn't help that Farley is done for the game
When did Farley get hurt? I don't remember him being looked at.....
Nobody knows
Which one of you asked for a shootout!?
Willis sackability
McClease!!!!
Where was the McClease for 3 seasons?
All Clease on that one
McClease is having a day.
Anyone hear anything about King though? I don't think I've seen him.
Out with a shoulder...that's why Keene has had some carries
I guess that works... but we also have Gary and Wheatley. Coach must not trust them.
Willis designed run😂
Is our OC a moron? Willis can throw the ball and we have receivers. That is our chance to win this game.
Now that's the Willis I love
Jesus willis.
Should have called TO on 2nd down....loss a great chance to grab back momentum...
That play right there deserves a benching. Why why why would he blindly throw a ball behind his back?
Radio guys are roasting Willis for taking us out of field goal range
Deservedly so. Willis is spooked. He is playing scared. Any sign of pressure and he collapses mentally
Willis has ZERO awareness under pressure.
Taking points off the board.
Brace Hooker the best you can or this game is over
That punt never reached the goal line
We had a guy standing in the end zone and he touched the ball. In NFL you can do that but not college.
False, college you can be in the end zone but it can't break the plane. NFL you can't be in the end zone, but it is only a touchback if it hits the ground
Dude's holding the football for an eternity.
Willis in and the contrast is amazing. I am no fan of Willis. He needs to sit. He absolutely cannot lead the offense. Put in QP. There is nothing to lose.
Our play on offense and then standing in the end zone trying to put the ball at the 1 yard line...that stinks like piss right there!
Willis is a bad quarterback
Willis has negative football IQ. The most important thing there was to not take us out of field goal range. So what does he do...
Fuck it get QP in there...I can't watch Willis anymore
Fuente; give up on this QB. He is scared to death out there.
I just don't think Willis has the decision making skills. Throws a great ball but isn't savvy enough to be a consistent player.
Watching willis play QB makes me suicidal
Willis is the best QB on the team. -Fuente the first four games.
If Hooker is not coming back in the game, give me QP. I'm done with Willis. He makes some pretty throws, but terrible decisions.
Yup. 100% agree.
QP time please
Agreed. Willis is pathetic there is nothing to lose
Fuente, you didn't believe in Hooker and you were wrong. Please put in QP.
It's beating a dead horse to mention how a 5th year senior can't take a sack there. Anyone other than a high school kicker in at QB shouldn't take a sack there.
Willis problem is in his head. He cannot read the field. He panics under pressure. He gives up on plays before they are over. This guy is spooked. Bench him.
Hooker sighting!!
We can't play Hendon today.....he loses what makes him special....give Willis one more series and if we get more of the same play QP.....QP can run and hopefully make a few passes
Is it time to wonder about Patterson if he can't get on the field ahead of Willis?
Took the words right of of my...fingers?
Sacks from the DT position... lovely!
Both sacks today have been from the DT's
Pollard gives me hope for the future
Needed that sack.......that was big.....
If I have to watch Willis the rest of this game and we lose, frankly I want Fuente gone tomorrow.
We probably lose with QP in there for all I know, but at least act like you care about developing players
Patterson on the way.... Let's go
For real?
Yes. There is nothing to lose.
We need QP to invent the future
Is Fuente on this thread?
This made me laugh
Okay here we go QP
That can't be the O
Why doesn't Fuente consider Gary in lieu of Keene at RB?
Why the fuck are we playing Keane at RB? Do we not have any other RBs on the roster that can play?
Playing Keene like a fullback is how that happened. How often does he practice maintaining possession with hats all around him? Fuck.
The football gods are against us in this one
Brutal
F
That wasn't holding; his hand was simply stuck in his jersey. /s
Get Floyd out of there...edit: that was a shitty call
If they wanted to throw a penalty it should have been on both sides. No call should have been needed on that.
Agreed, once I saw the replay I realized that wasn't all on Floyd....I'll own my bad
It didn't look like Floyd hit him intentionally.
LOL @ Floyd... what?
That's bogus.......that player ran right at Reggie
Agreed. Terrible call. Thank goodness it was after the play.
That call sucks ass
Floyd... hit the showers, brah.
Fu grilled his ass!
QP!!!!!!
Sup, Quincy. Stay a while.
Gotta give Q some easy throws to give him confidence....
Our offense simply doesn't work without a mobile QB
Having an identity is a good thing and that's what Blacksburg knows and does
Trash bag refs. Let's gooooo QP
FTFY
Really stupid of UNC to go for the fake punt. We are on our 3rd QB and the O looks shaky. Should've punted and made us go a minimum of 80yds....thanks Mac
That was a bad call on Floyd
Let's GO!!
Fourth quarter with #4!
Any updates on Hooker?
QP in Willis done for season. Finally
Where are y'all able to watch the game? A streaming service?
Hulu TV
Fox sports south
I found it. For some reason it didn't start till 5:50 and I had to fast forward.
We are now running the triple-option without the wing formation. We will have fewer than 5 passes the remainder of this game if QP stays in.
Nice blocking by Hazleton there /s
If it works I don't care...run the Wing T for all I care as long as we score
Now we need a play action pass
With one of them coming from Tavion Robinson.
Establish the QB run, hit em with the pass
I'm like what?!? But it's working so far
Waiting for the pop pass ... Come on Corny, please
Our wide receivers, ie decoys, have to be very well rested by now
Gotta keep em honest with a throw eventually or they're going to put 8 in front of him. Need to let him open it up here.
If QP can make a accurate pass we'll score so easily. Fake to McClease, pull it out and hit Hazelton/Turner wide open....I know Fu/Corn ain't gonna do it tho....
Let QP throw!!
Did I hear Stick it in?!?!
It's baaaaaaaaaack!😁😁😁😁
🍆
I was at the game for my 50th reunion and yes I heard the chant before and during the game.
Pretty ball QP!
Haze QP !
I just cannot believe that the coaching staff put Willis above HH and QP for so long this season
Absolutely crazy. Still probably would have lost to Duke; however, at least they would have had a few more games of experience/confidence by now.
they have 10 in the box and QP still gets 5 yds. that man is a truck
Barn burner!
I heard Stick it in!
(Well, sorta)
He's happy with his kick
When in doubt...jet sweep
How do you not throw it up to Tre once with single coverage?
Yep thanks Brian thanks for your service
Why would you run a qb rollout on 2nd and goal
Because you assume the defense is assuming you're running it up the gut
Was supposed to be thrown to the TE running to the corner I think
It's too bad we didn't just bypass Willis. QP could have had this defense worn down by now.
Post game comment (I was at the game): I know that Willis is not a favorite on this site, but give him credit for the touchdown throw at the end of the 1st half. You can argue about his skills and judgement, but, without that score, we would not have won the game. Has another QB on the team demonstrated the ability to make that throw (honest question, I really don't know the answer)?
Oh no I agree I was just speaking in hindsight based on the whole body of work. I had no problem with the decision to go with Willis second. When I said this late in regulation it was just based on what had objectively occurred.
Leg
QP4 did make that almost same throw on 4th down in OT. But I agree with your premise, Willis fights hard for us, disrespecting that is unacceptable.
Now would be a great time for a pick six
Come on Defense! Get a stop
KILL!
Vintage D there...hell yeah
Vintage drum cheers, vintage defense, coincidence? I think not. I swear to God, when they banned stick It in, the program started declining.
Fuck yeah!!!
Edit: both dogs are now spooked
Defense was getting downhill on that series!
Alright 4 yard gainers every play by QP to end this game
D line dudes losing their minds out there. You love to see it.
LETS GO
Hooooooooooooookiiiiiiiiieeeeesssssss!
I love this team right now. Thank you Hooker and QP.
And a big thanks to Hendon and HH too ;)
The bourbon is strong with this one.
Edit: aw he edited it.
I see 🦃 everywhere
Let him throw!!'nnn. Shit
Damn, the pitch looked good there.
Needed to let Q throw at least once in that series....
Should have pitched
They have to let Quincy throw. There will be white jerseys all over him until they fear the pass.
Can't win late with shriveled up playcalling.
our secondary sucks
Connor needs another year of seasoning... Deablo has no excuse to be biting on that.
Come on O!
Something about these Triangle teams having to use trick plays to score on us...
You can't let that fool you like that. Killer.
Crushing
And that's what happens when you tuck your dick between your legs and call plays not to lose instead of playing to win. QP running is great but it's not sustainable.
Our OC also plays scared. Need some magic now.
Definition of CornFu, so we've learned.
"Heh."
-- QP
Deablo bit hard on that
On the plus side, we got more time to work.
Hopefully now there is enough time to stop them and get a FG to win this thing.
Our defense was looking confident and swarming. Was starting to maybe look like the defense of old. Then they shit themselves.
Beaten by a flea flicker with a little window dressing. Fuck.
Strong arm....
Q!!
QP just had his Logan Thomas moment!
ARE YOU KIDDDING ME LETS GOOOOO
Willis sucks
That's out of nowhere. And uncalled for. And also obvious.
QP, the wave of the future!
QUINCY "LT3" PATTERSON
He'll be better
QUIIIIIIIIINCAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!
I like to think that that (very obvious) QB run was set up by the previous pass to Robinson.
And a great block by Mitchell.
Let the kid run
One pass loosened the D....now let's get a stop and win this game....
QP3!!!!!!
This game is going to have Enter Sandman play near the end, won't it?
Quincy Patterson. Loneliest man in Blacksburg
Quincy! Quincy! Quincy! Quincy! Quincy!
The running QBs give you a whole other type of threat that makes your offense click. Hopefully our coaches see that now.
Yo why were either of these QBs on the bench? I'm going to have an aneurysm trying to figure it out.
Damn, he's fast
The Defense has to get pumped and eat unc damn lunch
Let's hope that puts the defense in full "fuck em up" mode. Listen to that crowd baby
Lol poor Willis will never see the field again.
Remember how much we played Ryan Willis this season? And that is not a knock against Willis that is a knock against our coaches for talent evaluation
It sounds really loud there on TV. QUINCYYYYYYYY
LETS GO HOKIES!!!!!
3rd down fuckers! Get loud Lane!
Post-game comment (I was at the game): Lane was loud, the loudest and most animated I have ever seen. I think the visiting recruits had to come away impressed. That may be an even bigger positive than win in the longer term.
Love the crowd noise. Keep it up!!!
Rayshaaaaard! 25 magic!
Bud!
ASHBY!!!!!!!!
Ughhh this feels like old school Lane right now.
DENIED!
I bet the croots are loving this atmosphere and game
This is how it should be. Hokie Pride
That's the hard nose shit I miss from our defense. Let's fuckin do this shit
Disappointing that the coaches rushed that 3rd down play.
Why...
Play for the tie on the road or win at home!
Edit that's backward
Drinking now
Dammit man, that 3rd and 1
QB draw?
Why is UNC calling TOs? Thanks Mac....
It looks like Mack keeps calling timeouts to his OC's dismay.
Old age, it'll get after ya
"Careful now, you young whippersnapper", said the member of the class of '69.
Mack Brown was class of '69. 1869.
Mack Brown calling that timeout he didn't know what his OC was doing there.
Pollard again!
Don't give up a big play here
I have not felt this nervous in 3 years!
Set up a return....a fake kills you or a roughing
Why isn't there more time?
I don't get why they didn't review the touch and reset the clock to the proper time. Bullshit laziness!
I doubt a HM was practiced with QP
Because it doesn't need to be? It's just throw the ball far...he has the arm. I hate not taking that chance
Edit: it's really the players who are downfield trying to catch the ball that need practice. Some should be going up and some should be in front for the tip or the tackle in the case of an interception. Seems to me all you have to do is tell QP left, right, or middle and deep...
Downvote for this? 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
Not sure why coach didn't fight for more time on the clock. With 6 or 7 seconds, you might get lucky and get two plays. Oh well, let's win this thing.
And with Willis the big arm but him taking that sack and the grounding I wouldn't bring him in either. So while many won't like the kneel I'm good.
Is it just me, or does Mack Brown have pink eye?
busted blood vessel
Looks like a terminator eye.
HM with Willis then! WTF
Why didn't he let QP or Ryan throw it to the endzone? It's like a .0001% chance of a strip and return for a TD
If the refs didn't call that terrible deadball personal foul that field goal could have been a TD
Man Willis has gone from QB1 to QB3 in 3 weeks.
I am nervous.
That was beautiful throw.
Yea perfect D sadly.
That drop hurt my soul
It's too bad half our student section leaves during the game now although it seems better this game
You knew when he dropped that we lost all shot at a TD. Fuck.
Shoulda run the same play again
Won or lose we found our future. Finally
Mack gonna use tricks.
Hewitt, player of the game
Have to get a stop here. That drop is looming so large right now.
Cue enter sandman! Stadium is crazy!
What is this shit? Sandman dumb fucker!
They'd be crazy not to...
Now they are definitely passing (captain obvious i know)
Looks like Lanr again
It's no longer a chippy
Ladder teucked
Ladler got run through like a fucking scarecrow
horrible. Need to turnover desperately.
Fuck man, how can you be that soft on 3rd and long??
Coverage sack!! One more play D!!!!
How looked like willis
They gotta get louder
Tough angle...
Knuck if you buck is a vibe for sure
Go for it, Mack!
Couldn't ask for a better crowd showing for all of the recruits on sight for this game
Alright defense. Need another stop here!!!
Hopefully the adrenaline keeps them from being gassed.
D has to get a quick 3 and fg/att....
Mack is going to mix something up with some trick play. He has been doing it all year; and probably feels he has nothing to lose.
I'm gonna throw up
Same
I haven't been excited and nervous watching a VT Football game in a while... Didn't realize I missed that so much.
Secondary is ballin
Somebody who was supposed to be in ten alley fucking stumbled what luck
Nice, Ladler!
Fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Should not have allowed him to post you up.
Man fucking farley should have been there on that play
Sads
This will be a horrifying heartbreaking loss if we can't answer here
But....moral victories!
That's why you have to make that pick....you can't give teams extra plays...
Corny I hope you have a trick play in your back pocket because we're gonna need one right here.
They've got to let him pass!
Who is calling this shit
Man fuck we gotta find some magic here
After all this, it appears the coaches are letting us down with these play calls in 2OT...
What in the hell is this playcalling??? Acting like the game isn't on the line. Absolute freaking garbage.
Horrible play calling
you stupid idiots with this playcalling
Welp.....
Lack of hail mary is inexcusable
QP run incoming
We definitely have a nice future on the field; but nothing at all up in the OC box.
Word down on sauce avenue is that his ass is gone no matter what.
I think the coaches let the players down on this drive. Useless.
What a weird up the middle play on 2nd down
HOLY FUCK!!!!
HAZELTON
HOLY SHIT WHAT HAZELTON WITH THE ALL THE WAY ONE HANDER WHAT AFUCKING SAVAGE
QP with a dime! BALLS OF STEEL!
He's not ready though......
GREAT BALLS OF FIRE!
holy Quincy
Welp, QP can throw the ball. Confirmed.
QP!!!!!
Can we use the word ballsy for CornFu?
Mygodit'sbeautiful.gif
How sweet is the future?
Un F'ing bbelievable.....perfect pass and a 1 handed catch....
that was a dime!!! HOW WAS RW starting this entire time????
Apparently the push-up robot doesn't function past 20
You know what...
If Hooker ends up healthy, we have a true QB controversy. And no, I'm not involving Willis.
When was the last time a team had 3 seperate QBs throw for a TD in a game?
I actually tried to find out. Google wasn't helpful.
Corny given more life and....
We need the pressure to call decent offensive plays. That drive was sad.
Just fucking kill me
We deserve to lose....just horrible...
oh well . . .
Awful. Game over. Playcalling In OT cost us this game. What a joke.
Letting Stout go...looks great now
uhhh... Howell lined up in the neutral zone
ballgame
Fuck Corn
Corn should be sent packing tonight. Just pathetic how much he went into a shell in OT.
I am almost in shock that we haven't seen the roll right throw it back to the TE all game......only one of our most successful plays all season
Willis & Corn sitting in a tree
On the cobb, popped, running our offense. Fuck all the corn.
is it just me, or does Mack look a lot like Pennywise with his eye like that?
Players worked their asses off, may have been let down by the coaches. Hard to excuse the playcalling in the 3rd OT. In fact it looked pretty shitty.
Players played hard tonight. Proud of them.
Did he just ice his own kicker?
Mack trying to freeze his own kicker.
He iced his own god danger kicker! HA!
No reason to hold the TO but I may have let him kick
Sucks when these guys play their nuts off and the coaches put them in a position to lose.
MY HEART
That was a freebie, we got to win this now!!
can our secondary come up with a pick 6 and put this to bed please?
I've aged 50 years in the last 45 minutes.
Wow
I sent some of Tropical Storm Nestor up there to Blacksburg.
I can't take this shit, lads.
Needed a miracle. Got it.
wow... dangerously close to a personal foul there.
edit: that was clean... looked much worse in realtime from the front.
Eli Adams sighting........
