It'll be our only loss of the season
Well we play 4 or 5 teams better than them so if we get a performance even close to this one, it won't be enough to beat any of those teams
I think we got out talented today. You saw it on those missed tackles in the backfield.
Are missed tackles being out talented? On several plays out guys had their arms around the ball carrier and still missed it. Finish the tackle, that's fundamentals. Another one I saw was receivers dropping the ball when it was right in their hands. To me that's not talent, it's guys being soft. Not rising to the moment, not making plays. That's an attitude and coaching issue. Maybe guys are thinking too hard about assignments, maybe they're being over coached. Either way it's a problem, and most teams don't have that issue
What's crazy is clock management is the easiest part of the game to understand. I've seen kids playing Madden that are miles better clock managers than Pry has shown
I was hoping that Montgomery being a former HC would be able to help in these situations and give advice but today's clock management screams that Pry was still 100% in charge
Hate to be the bearer of bad news but Montgomery wasn't the nest clock manager while he was at Tulsa either
Please no. Two decades of futility has been fun to watch. Schadenfreude confirmed.
The Takye Heath is definitely one, I seem to recall one to one of the Greene's that was VERY catchable, and I thought I remembered one other as well. And yes, definitely a couple below the knees - even if someone could catch those, they aren't likely to pick up much yardage afterwards.
Same here. Just finished watching the 2nd half at 1230 am after getting back from a wedding and I gotta say this team is different than last year. I see peices that give me hope that I never saw last year.
Why do you think we'll lose to Vandy?
Yes, that was infuriating. And half the defense failing to sack Sellers on that 4th quarter run
Quarterback recruiting and development has truly been one of VT's biggest failures since the Tyrod Taylor era. Logan should never have been converted into a QB despite his strengths, Brewer was too fragile and threw too many picks but sure was a tough young man, Hooker was never properly developed but should have been a Heisman contender with an O-line and receivers to compliment him, and Drones is just not accurate enough. Others have had similar but usually worse liabilities. It's the toughest job on the team, I know, but I sure hope Coach Montgomery can stick around long enough to competently develop a QB1 with the requisite skills to complete over 60 percent of his passes while throwing less than 0.5 picks per game. I can dream...
Da U back?
I was kind of pulling for Miami (blech) over Notre Dame, but it's just so satisfying watching them fall apart in the 4th quarter
I thought the offensive play calling was fine. But ultimately the offense scored 0 touchdowns today and you can't win that way. That has to change quickly if we want to have a decent season. We shall see
roth and burnop pretty much said the opposite. they pointed out lots of empty seats on the socar side
he has largely been playing like randall, pre wake 04
offensive coaching looks to be fine actually. it's looked like Monty was trying to herd cats out there today
I'd say it has already cost us a game this year.
They have to deal with being Miami though, so we've got that going for us
I'm numb to most of these losses at this point now, we just are who we are and I don't know how that changes. Honestly, we played better than I expected and I agree with those who are more optimistic about the rest of the year. I don't know how many games we win but I think we might make life hell for some of our opponents and at this point I'll take that, I guess.
But goddammit did it make me irrationally angry that we gave up a special teams touchdown. I love Shane, I'm proud of what he's building at SC, and I hope he does well. But the one thing I told my family coming into this game I didn't want to happen was something like that. I didn't want beamerball thrown back in our face and then it happened (and Shane capitalized on it, well played). And it happened because of yet another careless penalty where the gunner wasn't lined up correctly on a punt formation.
I'd agree. Other than Donavan Greens personal foul penalty, both Greens exceeded my expectations.
If Drones puts up another stinker of a performance next week against Vandy, you have to wonder if you make a switch at QB and give them ODU and Wofford to get reps before ACC play. I just don't think Drones is going to take this offense anywhere at this point. He plateaued in 2023 and hasn't developed since.
Do we know that South Carolina is much more talented. Outside their top 4 players I'm not sure we can say that at all
Yeah, exactly. Makes me angry. Why can't we have nice things? The tables are unfairly slanted and we're losers
South Carolina is not a top 15 team, preseason rankings don't mean jack shit. I'd be surprised if that team finished with more than 7 wins this season, and we could've easily won by 2 scores if we cut out some ridiculous mistakes that most decent teams don't make
Underrated comment. The defense was markedly improved.
