Drones moves to 0-6 when attempting over 30 passes in a game. Very clear they need to figure out some kind of running game, which may have been Bowen's strength (if we're not giving all the credit to Tuten).
There were some bad throws and worse drops. Also some incredibly placed balls and even better catches.
Overall, with the way the defense played, I still come out feeling better than I did after the Vandy loss last season. Feels like there is a path to a good team if we can hold a superstar led offense to only 17 points.
Edit: took my dog on a walk and thought about this a little more. Feels like this was a reboot to the 2022 season, with a better roster and slightly better coaching... but a lot of the errors still feel the same. I'm still a little higher on this team because of Siefkes and Montgomery, but I'm worried we will be stuck in 6-6 hell until we can develop a true identity. If Bowen could find one with Drones and Tuten, I would hope Montgomery can find one this year. But it might take until October once again.
I was actually encouraged with the large exception of Drones. Im afraid he ain't the one to lead us to the promised land. That was yet another winnable game we lost more than I felt the other team won. If the team was ready on the first drive we mightve had a chance

# | Virginia Tech vs #13 South Carolina Game Time, TV Info, and Open Thread He called the right plays but the guys failed repeatedly to execute. Most of it was on Drones accuracy. Guys were open. Running game was hit or miss but the SC DL is really good.
Only thing I might fault was not much misdirection but may have felt those plays were too high risk to develop.

# | Virginia Tech vs #13 South Carolina Game Time, TV Info, and Open Thread We won the TOP battle 34:17 to 25:43 even with them burning the last 4 min. The defense shouldn't have been that tired. They just got whipped at the point of attack and were probably more focused on forcing a turnover than getting a stop.
SOUP OR SALAD?

# | Virginia Tech vs #13 South Carolina Game Time, TV Info, and Open Thread End of the day, it was a very winnable game that going into, we thought we had no chance at winning, so I'll take it. We beat Vandy and we'll feel good about the team.

No idea how the fourth quarter, or season, will end for #Hokies. But this much feels certain: Sam Siefkes is an XXL upgrade at defensive coordinator.— David Teel (@ByDavidTeel) August 31, 2025

# | Virginia Tech vs #13 South Carolina Game Time, TV Info, and Open Thread Well, there has been bright spots today. Kinda like the sun filtering down on a patch of toadstools in the forest. And you know what they grow in, so...fitting.
Week 2 is already a must win

# | Virginia Tech vs #13 South Carolina Game Time, TV Info, and Open Thread Well, it's a loss. We all knew it would be a loss.
The defense looks improved. More speed, more pop, more winning a the line. The bad, tackling. Nothing new there.
The offense looks like I'd expect. The good, receivers catching the ball, the bad, all the drops. The line looks lost or is just extremely outmatched by better and mid players.
Also, I hope Shane never comes back!
This is the best defense we will play this year by far. And lots of self-inflicted wounds. Let's see how we look next week.
Our defense looks legit (well, except for tackling).
Honestly really happy with our defense in this game and our wrs made some insane catches that we never made last year... running game had bright spots... we better win next week
Total hold by the running back there but doesn't matter.
Welp...
What does it mean to score 11 points in a game.
11 points.
How do you... end up 11 points

# | Virginia Tech vs #13 South Carolina Game Time, TV Info, and Open Thread No need, we let them walk all over us
So, if we stop them and get the ball back and score, will the story line here be we can't win one score games under Pry?
Also kind of him to spare us having to see Drones and this ass offense again.

# | Virginia Tech vs #13 South Carolina Game Time, TV Info, and Open Thread Beamer smart enough to not risk a FG or punt giving us momentum
Defensive line looks like the strength of the D. The Double Greens looked good if Drones gets them the ball.
Overall it was better than I expected. Maybe USCe is not as good as ranked.
