Dude was set up to fail. Might also be a bad coach (I haven't watched OrST since Peterson left), but had no chance at being good.
I just disagree. For all the infighting at auburn, they've proven over the last 15 years that you can win a national championship there.
Do you honestly think that in 2025 VT is closer to a natty than auburn?
Trent Bray fired at Oregon State
That is tough to say. I think there is an argument that Pry's numbers we're inflated by ODU playing prevent defense for a whole half and allowing a lot of positive plays with no risk.
Overall, the offense has done better getting chunk plays under Montgomery but isn't as consistent down to down. If anything there is an argument that the last three weeks they've started to figure out a running game, especially when Stewart is healthy - they just don't use the backs enough. Every game starts super pass heavy and then evens out, which is not and has never been Drones strong suit.
*edit: I do think there is an argument that Monty is basically playing HC, OC, playcaller, and primary QB coach which is a problem.
134th ranked defense (ahead of only Georgia Southern and the Air Force Academy)
And that is after the marginal improvement.
I'm curious if part of the decrease in offensive performance is due to our OC being the HC now and not really having an OC.
As Richard Pryor once noted, "That's right, we're bad...."

ASU also was starting Jeff Sims...yeah, the same guy who started at Georgia Tech in 2020---wasn't good there, then went to Nebraska and was even worse there.
Now has somehow found his way to ASU and a 6th year of eligibility.
This is why the current system is broken---these "professional college athletes"---Sims has zero professional prospects, zero actual NIL, yet he's getting a paycheck and a scholarship just because.
In other news ODU got it handed to them by Marshall 48-24 yesterday. Guess we would lose to Marshall by 100
Fireworks at halftime of their Homecoming game. No air movement to blow it away and it was overcast which held it low to the ground.
USC finished the job 31-13.
top 4 in the SEC is so hard for Auburn. In addition its ran by a number of different boosters that you all have to get on the same page, at VT its just the AD, we dont have a ton of big name boosters who run the show. I dont think the infrastructure is there because its so fragmented.
Utah boat raced #21 Arizona State 42-10. ASU just never looked like they came to play. It wasnt even as close as the score. ASU's lone touchdown came after Utah had all their backups in. Utah effectively stopped running their offense mid way through 3rd quarter and just ran the ball from then on. I think the backup QB threw one pass and comically it went for like 30 yards with run after catch.
Thanks that's what I saw too which is why I was confused
I mean, from a composite perspective it was. The high end wasn't as high as last year, but the floor was definitely the highest it's been.
But I'm picking nits... toxic positivity seems to be a trend in the last 2 years of the pry era.
Yeah Pry probably had the locker room hanging on by a thread this offseason. No way they just quit like they did that quickly if things weren't already iffy. Pry's comment that this is the best roster he's had at VT in the offseason..wow talk about coach speak.
Yep, we definitely split the loaf in half. Would be 7-5 in the two weeks I've kept track.
I'd say Pry's has been in motion for a while now.
But it does seem like both lost the locker room
2 this week which is better than 1
some one remind me to stop picking Tennessee

if Luke Fickell makes it through the day, ill be shocked
