The Orange Curse strikes again!!!
End of the first half was so bad in so many ways, but I thought that 3rd - 19 catch was going back towards the line and should have been a running clock. Refs weren't great, as at least according to Bill Roth there was no one covering the longsnapper on the missed field goal called back.
But at the end of the day, this team is just not good and teams know that if we get to obvious passing situations we won't be able to move the ball. Just frustrating to know we have to play with an early lead to have any shot, and that we blew plenty of opportunities to do that.
As easy as it was last week to get swept up in the romanticism of rallying behind an interim to get some wins, I think today was necessary to bring us back to earth. No one in any radius of Merryman deserves to feel good about football in any way, until they do their fucking jobs, and do them correctly. I want the search committee, BoV, and Sands to feel every ounce of pain and pressure possible to ensure they don't fuck up the HC hire, and I want them to have no moral victories whatsoever until they accomplish that.
New offensive coordinator this week for UCLA...have to wonder if it's strictly that
We've got a decent amount of money to spend now, and the search staging seems to have shifted from GM then HC to HC then GM. Screw it, call up Nick Saban and see if he still wants to coach. Hire a GM to manage the NIL/retention part he didn't want to fool with at Bama. Go big or go home.
Snaps have to get better. Hitting the qb at shin level over and over starts the play in such a bad position. Eyes drop immediately when he should be reading the d. Not giving anyone much chance doing that.

Florida with a safety to go up 12 on Texas late in the 2nd quarter.
A QB who isn't complete and utter trash would be a good start
If Montgomery doesn't trust Drones enough to go for it on 4th and short, you need a new QB.
Got away with it last week. Either less penalties or 4th down conversions is a win this week and VT had neither
Guess the books were right
New QB with actual P4 ability cannot get here soon enough as well.
It's hard to pass much judgment on our receiving corps because Drones just can't get them the ball. We don't really know what we have because the QB is so ineffective. Just so slow.

# | Virginia Tech vs Wake Forest Game Time, TV Info, and Open Thread Holds onto the ball too long, gets deer in headlights against any pass rush, and can't hit the broad side of a cruise ship on any route. He doesn't have help, but he's absolutely terrible. There's a reason our offense looks as awful as it does when we can't run the ball
There are a decent number of drops, but Gosnell was pretty much automatic last year if you got the ball near his hands. Where have the passes to him been? Plus, the receivers can't catch balls at their feet, it's way harder to catch when it's a fair amount over your head or behind you. Drones isn't doing our receivers any favors. It's not like he's hitting them in the hands or chest every time and they just aren't making the catches. That's true some of the time, but I'd say 2/3 of the time, the ball isn't well placed. That's a Drones problem, not a receiver problem.
Agree. There are some other overall issues, but a better QB could make this offense more functional. Drones is just crap. He's by far the biggest thing holding the offense back. Just play Rangel or Pop at this point.
That's what we hear.

# | Virginia Tech vs Wake Forest Game Time, TV Info, and Open Thread I do most of my best work in 10 seconds.
I hear ya, but Drones needs to be able to throw a good pass for that to really matter.

# | Virginia Tech vs Wake Forest Game Time, TV Info, and Open Thread Agree. But, in fairness, it's not like he gets a lot of help. Terrible pass blocking, terrible coaching, mediocre receivers at best ... I'm no Drones fan and have been begging for someone else to get a chance, but it's not all his fault.

.... I wish we had a new offensive coordinator
