Bowling Green whipped MD badly, 48-27.
The end of that game was fantastic!

# | QBs Brenden Motley, Dwayne Lawson Strut Their Stuff, Hokies' Offense Roasts Furman 42-3 Was incredibly impressed with Motley today. I was really concerned about whether or not the passing game could flourish with him at first, but he really came out and seized up the QB1 spot today. I think he really came into his own today and will be a great leader for us.
Lawson is going to be a great QB for us. He has size, speed, strength, and a great arm. Made some nice throws today, but as expected, was more comfortable running than in the passing game. Will be interesting to see how the QB rotation is handled going forward, but I think Lawson sees the field a lot.
I don't know how, but I'm telling you right now: Chris Durkin has GOT to be on the field somewhere for us. That dude runs with an attitude and delivers an angry blow. He also has a great burst and some nice quick cuts/jukes. Whether or not he is a QB going forward, he needs to be on the field for us. Really loved what I saw from him.
I also hope we see a lot more of Travon McMillian. He is a game changer.
Thank you Oklahoma
Thank you. The fact that I can't get espn3 drives me freaking crazy. And the fact that the work around can be this simple only makes me even more mad. FREE ALL ESPN NOW! I liked the old game plan better where you could at least purchase the game.

# | QBs Brenden Motley, Dwayne Lawson Strut Their Stuff, Hokies' Offense Roasts Furman 42-3 Some thoughts...
It will sound strange to say after only giving up three points, but the back 7 of this defense really worries me. In particular the Mike and our corners. I think facyson is still playing timid, which will be a problem against a good passing O. And I hate to pile on the kid, but Moto again had a tough game IMO, pick six notwithstanding. He really seems to have trouble reading plays, and gets caught up in the wash way too often. Unfortunately, I dont see Huelskamp as an upgrade, so I'm hoping for the light to come on for 54.
Chuck clark's a bad man. So is Ryan Malleck. Those kids are gonna be playing on Sunday's.
O-line seemed to do well, as they should against a I-AA squad.
Travon McMillan is our best TB. Kid just knows how to play the game. Has a nice blend of speed, size and wiggle. The more carries he gets, the better he's gonna get. Did Shai look slow and hobbled in his gait to the rest of you? I know he's not going to, but he should probably redshirt and fully rehab that knee, b/c he sure didn't look close to a 100% to me.
I have been very strong in my opinion that I think you go with Lawson and build for the future, and that first half only strengthened my opinion of that. But I will say this, Motley looked like a different QB in that second half. He was reading the field, stepping in to his throws, and delivering with some zip. The biggest difference b/w a Brewer and a Motley though, and really any green QB, is the ability to see the field and anticipate with his throws. Motley still waits for receivers to come out of their breaks, which leads to his throws being late and has him throwing in to coverage way too often. Brewer anticipates where the receivers are going to be and makes his throw before the receiver breaks so it's delivered at the optimal point of separation. If Motley, or Lawson, can pick this up, they should be fine, especially with their run threat. If they can't, gonna be a lot of three and outs and INT's when they play against the big boys.
Overall, I felt good about our performance today, coming on a short week. And I feel a lot better about motley after that second half, if he remains our starter for the rest of the year. Need to further build on this next week against a subpar Purdue squad.

# | QBs Brenden Motley, Dwayne Lawson Strut Their Stuff, Hokies' Offense Roasts Furman 42-3 I'd like to see an analysis of all the big penalties.
I know after the PI call on the pick, the crowd had had enough of it.
The booing went on for an entire series.

# | QBs Brenden Motley, Dwayne Lawson Strut Their Stuff, Hokies' Offense Roasts Furman 42-3 I saw that and immediately thought of the impact TKP is having on the media.
Joe has something here to be proud of.
Correct. ESPN3 is online only, but if you've purchased a cable package that includes ESPN, usually that means you can log into ESPN3 via your credentials with your cable provider. Cox should be on that list.
He ran angry as shit. I enjoyed it.
ESPN3 is on no ones TV as far as I know.
Late game update:
Mizzou down to a surprisingly effective Arkansas State
Oklahoma narrowing the gap
Sparty up 7, already picked Oregon twice
Baylor letting Lamar stick around. Lamar didn't have a football team from 1989-2010.
Nevada hanging in there against Arizona. Worth monitoring.

# | QBs Brenden Motley, Dwayne Lawson Strut Their Stuff, Hokies' Offense Roasts Furman 42-3 I said all along Mcmillian was the best RB and Lawson should play if you intend on him starting next year
Well, McMillian had 98 yards. Pretty close.

# | QBs Brenden Motley, Dwayne Lawson Strut Their Stuff, Hokies' Offense Roasts Furman 42-3 KC had some good runs. Trey was ok. I like what McMillan has and thought I'd see more of shai. I'd be surprised if shai hasn't moved up the depth chart with a full week of practice in the game
Motely looked as about expected. Slow at first but then started to get rolling. Seemed a little slow in his reads to start but didn't seem to make bad decisions which was good. Also seemed to stay in the pocket a bit longer after the half which I liked. After seeing Lawson's passes Motely is definitely number 1. Lawson has an ups wide but he's not ready to take the reins yet.
Couldn't really tell about AMs play today. His pick six was nice and almost had a second on the next drive. Still surprised I haven't heard Dadi's or Ken's name called. Not sure but I don't think I saw them a ton on the field today. Figured bud was trying to get in game reps for his backups mostly today. Could be wrong.
Anyhow, good game overall. Slye was booming it. Ready to see the game against purdon't.

# | QBs Brenden Motley, Dwayne Lawson Strut Their Stuff, Hokies' Offense Roasts Furman 42-3 I agree with the result today. I still think if we play a better ACC team like GT and have a sluggish first half like that we're in serious trouble. Overall though, a great showing by the good guys.
Well, great! We're all wrong!

# | QBs Brenden Motley, Dwayne Lawson Strut Their Stuff, Hokies' Offense Roasts Furman 42-3 I'm not sure how many folks were in attendance that might have seen, but they basically took the "Welcome to Sacksburg" shirt and put it up on Hokie Vision and added a sack to it after the first sack.

# | QBs Brenden Motley, Dwayne Lawson Strut Their Stuff, Hokies' Offense Roasts Furman 42-3 Durkin's the emergency guy, or maybe short-yardage (although the term "Lawson-dozer" was thrown around on more than one occasion). It's Motley's show for now, but Lawson showed a heck of a lot of talent today. Exciting stuff.

# | QBs Brenden Motley, Dwayne Lawson Strut Their Stuff, Hokies' Offense Roasts Furman 42-3 Yeah, if Lawson or Motley ever get things down to where Loeffler really trusts them to run all the nifty things at the bottom of the playbook (like throwbacks to the fullback) and those timing routes to Malleck (both Lawson and Motley were a bit late on throws over the middle), this offense could be extremely difficult to defend. As it is, I'll take 580 yards and 35 offensive points against an inferior opponent, considering we went in with no clue what our QB would be able to do.

# | QBs Brenden Motley, Dwayne Lawson Strut Their Stuff, Hokies' Offense Roasts Furman 42-3 My take away is that the coaches are praying for an accelerated learning curve for Lawson. They want him to be great but he's not yet. In the mean time motley is going to be serviceable and maybe even pretty good, but he hasn't had a stellar injury record either. I don't know where Durkin falls in this shuffle. I want to see him more, but how?

# | QBs Brenden Motley, Dwayne Lawson Strut Their Stuff, Hokies' Offense Roasts Furman 42-3 with the exception IMO of the odd QB subbing in the first half.
I thought it was odd at first as well.
But then I thought about it and I think Lefty was putting in Lawson, situationally.
Its 1st & 15, let's see how he handles being behind the chains. Motley just ran this play, now lets let Lawson run the exact same play, now that the D has seen it.
If Lawson comes in this year for "real" playing time, it will be in an odd situation.
Trey confused me. First few carries he all but broke down and ran in place before contact.
