35-0. Fourth and 15 at Tech's 32 yd line and they're going for it. False start and now it's fourth and 20 and they decide to punt. What?? You're down 35 zip and you punt? What difference did 5 yds make at that point?

Good to know. Thanks Joe. I always really enjoyed Mason's stuff, and he was engaged and passionate in the comments without being a dick. Hope all is well with him.

More teams than just ECU will have to devote time to scheming against us. Could shake up the whole division. UNC had their hands full with a fired up squad last year, surviving on a call that should have gone to league headquarters for review. They haven't been consistent yet this year.

As bad as the BC offense was yesterday, I was amazed by the amount of dropped passes.
They had several good plays where a guy got open and promptly dropped the ball.

You know people who claimed the earth orbited the sun were considered a cult at one point. Truth is truth man. Give it up.

In for Team Donut!

Those must be the brownie points.

Exactly. Let's not pretend for a moment that without high quality mobile QBs with the ability to improvise, we ever would have become the contenders we learned to expect to be.

Ricky Bustle was decent at working with what he had. IMO, Stiney and Loeffler were very similar in terms of game-day play-calling: dependent far too much on their idea of what should work, instead of what actually was working on that day. As such, while their playbooks were much larger than Bustle's, they were much worse on calling the actual plays for a consistent offensive performance.

The only coach I thought we had, briefly, that was worth the title was Kevin Rogers, and while I don't know if we could have kept him for long anyway, it is a shame that wasn't recognized at the time by Frank Beamer.

Now we have Fu and Corny, and it was unbelievably gratifying to see plays that they found were working called over and over again. Granted, the scheme allowed that to occur because a whole lot of things were working out of the same sets, but this was true for Loeffler as well -- receivers were often open, but the read progression depended on more than most College offensive lines could give, much less Virginia Tech's.

The turnaround in my mind truly started with Coach Grimes resetting the expectations and mentality of Offensive Line play, and was cemented with Searels' continuation of that passion and coaching acumen.

Without the changes in offensive philosophy that started way too late IMO, coach Fu would have had far less to work with, and this year would would likely be chalked up as a probable breaking of the bowl streak.

I would leave my spot on Team Cookie for Team Doughnut. They are my fav. Chocolate glazed Krispy Kreme.......

Tempting as that might be if you throw in powdered donut holes with the crispy creams, I've got to stick with team pie.

Haha, yeah. VTCC has to learn all the words freshman year before football starts. I definitely remember realizing that we were the only ones singing the words.

A leg for that.
