# | Virginia Tech vs. Tennessee - Battle at Bristol Game Time, TV Info and Open Thread Looked good, turnovers are just comical at this point. But it's way better to be turning the ball over on fumbles than it is because Jerod is forcing passes and getting picked off. Once we start hanging onto the football we'll have a shot to compete for the coastal for sure.
Hot takes abound. We will be fine. Realize UT had 2 TD drives of less than 10 yards. That will kill your shot at winning football games. We lost by three scores and literally handed them 2 of those. Everyone needs to take a step back and realize this isn't the end of the world. Fumbles are correctable.
Good point especially with as well as our defense was playing.
I'm not excusing the fumbles. They're inexcusable. But as you watch this game, it's obvious that they're happening when the ball carrier is fighting for extra yards. Right now, the skill position players on O are trying almost too hard to adapt to the new scheme. They just need to settle in, secure the ball, and carry a ball every damn place they go this coming week. This offense will slow down for these players the more they play in it, and unfortunately you can't simulate game speed. They have to learn how to do this live, and right now they're too into their own heads.
The deal with the snaps just has to get fixed. When we take 95% of our snaps from shotgun, that snap needs to hit Evans in the chest every damn time. Vance Vice needs to address that yesterday.
The scheme is awesome and im excited. We gave away a game tonight, but even after that loss all I can do is dream about what it will look like when we are firing on all cylinders.
Get yourselves right, guys. The future is bright.
The sad part is the fact that I believe we are every bit as good as Tennessee. The stupid turnovers and penalties ate us up tonight. And who knows if we'll ever see Teller again.
I like the "Champions" hats. Those are about as tacky as possible.
I agree. I can understand some coaches are more low-key, but the only time I really remember any emotion from Fuente was when Teller was flagged for the first block low block.
A team is a reflection of its coach. There needs to be more energy and fire there.

# | Virginia Tech vs. Tennessee - Battle at Bristol Game Time, TV Info and Open Thread would you rather fumble then go three and out consistently on conservative play calling for 2 1/2 quarters? or keep going with what has been working and conserve time on the clock by going fast even with the fumbles?
We need to caulk up the hole at LG when Teller is out. Or is it a turnstile?
When 0-0 happened my expectations were so low that was kind of a joke. Tonight we came out with intensity and purpose and when the first negative thing happens we crumbled. This team is not disciplined or mentality tough, it hasn't been in a long time. Fuente has a lot of unfucking up to do.
How are we going to not try for an on sides kick? It's all part of the message and kicking it away even down as we are is a decidedly piss poor message about competing. Just like the end of the first half. Goes to that lack of fire people are talking about. Completely unimpressed by the new staff right now.

# | Virginia Tech vs. Tennessee - Battle at Bristol Game Time, TV Info and Open Thread You've got to be kidding.. They have earned every one of these post..
Bring back techtalklive call in show. I can almost promise this will be glossed over like only a few things to correct. No hard questions
I actually think we look promising, minus the insane fumbles. Work on protecting the ball and we can win 8-9 games this year.
But dangit...

# | Virginia Tech vs. Tennessee - Battle at Bristol Game Time, TV Info and Open Thread "Dominant", my hairy left nut, Rece Davis. We handed them the game. Literally placed the ball on the turf 6 times.
it's game 2 of Fuente rebuild and he produced 200 yards in the first quarter. that has me excited.
what doesn't have me excited is how our defense consistently gets shredded by mobile QBs. People can say it happens to everyone but it happens to us ALWAYS.
anyway, wish we could have won. if only for Hokiegirl's sanity.
Upvote for your optimism :)
He didn't play. Chung was the one chucking the snaps all over the place.
Glad no one out here gives a shit about the ACC, or I would have to change my license plate after that one

# | Virginia Tech vs. Tennessee - Battle at Bristol Game Time, TV Info and Open Thread Doesn't matter when you get your ass kicked by the vols.
I was thinking the exact same thing. They will get destroyed in SEC play.
I've never been so encouraged by a blowout loss. I hate the game went this way after such anticipation, but you can see glimpses of what this team can be.

Did you go to the Liberty game? This team has more energy and team cohesion than I have seen in some time.
