# | QBs Brenden Motley, Dwayne Lawson Strut Their Stuff, Hokies' Offense Roasts Furman 42-3 Ahh man! Guess he won't be on next season "Ballers"
Bingo, we won!
Well not quite the 63 points we were looking for but if you add up the 2 numbers from our score and put it with the 3 from Furman we get the 63 we wanted! Happy Birthday Mom!
Yup. The read option is going to be a potent weapon for us.
I love Brewer, and wish he hadn't been injured, but he is never a real threat to run the ball. So very excited to see Motley or Lawson adding that to Loeffler's arsenal.
Call me old fashioned. I just don't think that was the play you put your green qb in on.
I'm not going to belabor the point -- just my opinion, and all's well that ends with a Win.
He could be a gamechanger now. I wasn't a big fan of how Trey was running, but McMillan was quick and decisive. He got to the hole and busted through it. Him and Lawson (when he actually knows what the heck is going on) in the backfield will be a whole lot of fun to watch in coming years.

# | QBs Brenden Motley, Dwayne Lawson Strut Their Stuff, Hokies' Offense Roasts Furman 42-3 I loved and I mean loved the rb duo of Edmonds/McMillan. I know jc went out with an injury and I hate that, but damn McMillan really impressed me. this kid could be a real game changer in the next few years.
It was a starting point. The offense looked worlds better midway through the 3rd quarter than they did midway through the 1st. Got a lot of good stuff to build on as competition ramps up.
Why? It wasn't ideal, but hey, you're probably not gonna find an "ideal" spot to put him in anyways. The kid picked up a few yards and then Motley had a manageable 2nd down to work with. They wanted him to get his feet wet when the game was still "undecided" (I doubt they would have played him there if they weren't confident they'd win), and they did. In the moment, I wasn't sure how I felt about it, but I think it was the right move. See how he responds to a bit of pressure without putting the weight of the world on his shoulders.
LT didn't even have time to take a piss at Dolphins facility let alone being evaluated. That said nothing about LT' s ability as a QB. Maybe Miami hasn't really forgiven LT for abusing the U as a college QB.
I dunno. I can see your point, but putting in Lawson on a 1st & 15 at that point in the game to run a QB keeper was just... mindboggling is the only word for it.
Motley impressed mightily.
Ford & Philips looked good, with room for improvement. Asante & Knowles looked good as well I thought.
Lawson definitely looked like he's got a high high ceiling, but he needs work.
Durkin looked pissed off. Seriously. Put him in the I with Rogers and Peoples, and let R&P lead block on a keeper, and you may take out the entire opposing D on one play.
Loeffler impressed as well. Very good game plan with the exception IMO of the odd QB subbing in the first half.
RB's looked lively, although I thought Trey wasn't quite hitting the hold as hard as he should. I think that most likely goes away with game reps.
DBs looked better than last week. I think the PI on Faycson was ticky-tacky. Not sure why we seem to get so many calls against us in those situations.
Chuck Clarke is a man playing among boys. May be too dangerous to be on the field. He hits so hard our own players get collateral damage from the shrapnel.
Malleck looked like he should be starting for a pro team. Big. Great blocking. Great routes. Great hands.
Cline is definitely looking like he's back, and better than ever. Looked bigger, stronger, and still fast.
Our O-line is obviously much improved.
If we could get our mike LB situation squared away, we still have a good chance for a special season.
One more thing: Red zone offense so far this year is spectacular.
Sum bitch Cox. Bought this big sports package, every ESPN except ESPN 3. Thanks man...freaking need this, after last Monday...
Furman is not D-II. FCS is I-AA.
Sad Virginia fan is sad. Lmao
'cept that wasn't a ESPN commercial...

# | QBs Brenden Motley, Dwayne Lawson Strut Their Stuff, Hokies' Offense Roasts Furman 42-3 Nice gAme but it was a div II school, will not board the hype train unless we boil some blood next week...
I know a lot of people on Twitter were upset with how Loeffler handled the Lawson-Motley duo ("put him in for the series!" "They're running the same plays, so what's the point!" etc, etc). However, I was a big fan of it. Get the young guy in and let him get hit and see how the game's going without having all the pressure of getting the drive going all by himself. The running game did some great things, Motley got going, Lawson had a couple nice moments, and overall I feel much better about the offense than I did three days ago.
What a difference the new offense coaches have made on recruiting. I'd like to see us do better on FGs (though no complaints about the kickoffs), but solid performance by all 3 sides of the ball. Our team needed this win badly. I hope those who left the game banged up, will return soon.
Biggest takeaway from today...
On 5 days prep we smoked a team easily... That's better than we did in 2010. So look out, ACC.
This is clearly a fake. If it were real they would both be falling off the horse.
Doubtful. Asante and Knowles each had one catch. Behind Phillips and Ford were the TEs and Travon McMillian in terms of number of catches.
Lwould think not. Applied liberally, I think sufficient rub would adhere to just bark it over. Mmmmm.
Glad the second half made me put away my #FullerForQB campaign materials. Motley looked pretty good once he got past the jitters, Lawson looked like a freshman with a butt ton of potential. Let's keep the momentum going.
Also, why isn't Travon McMillian playing a LOT more? Dude is good.

Clark was seemingly in on every tackle. Very smooth move to safety
