# | Failure to Execute the Basics Hampers Hokies' Offense Against Tar Heels And if your case is to show how bad the O was this game, then you need to pare it with the successful games we've had this year DESPITE not having Brewer for a third of them!
Please don't tell Mason how to write.
His article is an analysis of the offense's performance against North Carolina amidst the themes of Loeffler's tenure. Mason did the fair thing, he noted both the successes and failures of the offense against the Tar Heels with regards to those themes.
We get it from both sides: 1) "You're too critical of Loeffler, Beamer, etc..." 2) "You're not critical enough of Loeffler, Beamer, etc...". At the end of the day there's what happens on film, and Mason, French, Et al. do their best to interpret it.
If you want to counter Mason's argument, then do as substantial an evaluation and share your conclusion. This isn't pissing excellence or convincing me to take you seriously.
Did we not move the ball at times? Sure. But it's not like we weren't moving up an down the field others.
Don't ask Mason to make your argument for you.
RichRod to UVa!
I got a feeling he's gone to UGA if it's a commitable offer
I'm not at all saying he is to blame for the whole season. The defense definitely gets their fair share of the blame. But the defense has had plenty of attrition this year, and we're playing with a very green secondary and a weakspot at linebacker. Lefty has had everyone, sans Brewer, for the entire season. It was the 11th game of the season, and mistakes that shouldn't be made at this point in the season were being made. And that was the difference on offense. We have a second year veteran QB in Brewer, no losses on the OL, a great RB in McMillian, and the same receivers and tight ends as we've had all year. If anything, this offense has regressed as the season went along. Why are we still not lining up correctly and making mistakes? Why are they not executing consistently? Why is the line still not blocking correctly? That is what is frustrating - the fact that we can't seem to get the little things right. Those little things make a big difference in big games.
Complaining about student athletic fees at Virginia Tech shows ignorance. Virginia Tech has some of the lowest fees in the country.
Hope all goes well with your family. That's the most important thing.
Appreciate the commentary on the defense. Hard to see these types of things from where I was in the stands, and I haven't had a chance to watch the replay on my DVR yet.
Bringing up the crap helmets from a few years ago is so tired. Everyone has seen them. Everyone knows they sucked. Move on.
I did like both the LSU and TCU helmets.
Also awesome Gilbert has us in his final two.
This is awesome. Not just that he's trying to sell other recruits on VT. It's looking like he's close to a lock right now.
I am not a Loeffler hater. I wrote a completely reasonable article stating that in the third year of Loeffler's reign as offensive coordinator, he has fielded his third consecutive offense which fails to execute his game plan. I even provided the evidence.
If Loeffler's offense was overmatched athletically, that would be understandable. It's not. It's an offense that simply doesn't execute. That's on him.
Liberty didn't have a very good season this year record wise finishing 6-5 and missing the FCS Playoffs after making our first appearance last year, but we did beat two FCS playoff teams (Montana and Coastal Carolina) and one of the FBS teams we played (Beat Georgia State, lost to WVU). I plan to do a more in depth insider look at the Flames post as the 2016 season approaches, but I expect the game to be close early and VT to pull away later in the game unless Tech's players have overlooked the game in anticipation of playing UT.
Good news on the Jackson front:

Let's just say that yes the O wasn't up to snuff this game. But are you really going to blame Lefty for our losses over the course of this season? Not his fault our Mike LB couldn't do jack against a Duke RB who put his ass on the ground. And not his fault the D couldn't stop anything against a few of our other opponents too.
Rail at Lefty for this game, but using him as a focal point for your anger for this year's performance is completely ludicrous.
Interesting... especially when you consider HokieHistory's comment above in the thread:
Many of us know him and his family. It's not.
Forde did break the news on Buzz. I am surprised though that he didn't devote an entire article to Fuente though. Maybe he knows that the contract is on the table and he is betting on Fuente taking it???
you keep tossing phrases like "only 400 yards of offense" out there.. 400 yards is pretty good for a pro-style, ball-control offense with limited big-play capabilities.
THANK YOU!
I'm kinda sick of all the Loeffler haters out there. Again, its not the offense's fault we are where we are this year. In fact, i'd argue we are as successful this year (and not worse off) BECAUSE we have Lefty's offense!
Did we not move the ball at times? Sure. But it's not like we weren't moving up an down the field others. And if your case is to show how bad the O was this game, then you need to pare it with the successful games we've had this year DESPITE not having Brewer for a third of them!
Yeah we're not going to have Lefty around next year, but the amount of arm-chair QB'ing and hating on him is frustrating. He deserves some criticism, but not to be the entire scapegoat.
This is a nice review, fills in nicely for a film version. Hope all goes well your way.

Welp. Somebody will definitely snag him. I'm still not going to buy it 100% until it's a publicly done deal. I agree it doesn't look good, though. He's going to be a brilliant coach IMO. It's not surprising he'd be willing to take his chances in the SEC. South Carolina has a much easier route to the SEC Championship game than Miss St. South Carolina will be in good shape if they're able to land Herman.
