Not sure if anyone already said this, though I have seen a great many comments on how the game would be different if Brewer didn't get taken out of the game as soon as he did.
I have no doubts it would have been a close game, and potentially VT wins it by not much. See, the thing is, with Brewer in the game, our offense was clicking, and it was keeping us in the game longer. The defense had their issues, but the biggest thing is, the pressure would have remained on OSU. Maybe it's a back and forth scoring for a little bit. Maybe it's not. Brewer was doing a great job of running the offense and making the right choices. Brewer maybe doesn't hand the ball off to Coleman when he fumbled the ball. Brewer maybe doesn't try to throw the ball downfield for an interception the way Motley did. Those are two turnovers that deflated the team, and an offense that was deflated because there seemed to be no real gameplan in action for Motley, or at least one he wasn't able to handle with the pressure forced upon him.
The biggest player we couldn't lose and still have a chance to win the game, was the player we lost. Brewer went down and the whole team deflated. They started to look like a team that didn't feel that they could win. With Brewer in, they looked like a team that was getting into a groove.
That being said, we lost, and it happens. There are a few games to find a groove for our back up QBs and the rest of the team to pick themselves up and start dominating everyone else.
Any chance we can get Leal back? Leal QB1, Motley can still come in for some read option plays, Lawson moves to #3 WR, Sam can replace Moto at MLB, Durkin replace Sam at FB/Do it all player...problem solved?
On another post I said Tech +33 I am laying 100 on Furman.

# | Bitter blog - Kendall Fuller on Cardale Jones' DBU tweets: 'They took the W; they can talk' Fair enough, but by all accounts he is decent person, a good student, albeit a bit of a joker. We put these kids on a pedestal and everything they say or do is hashed out on the internet. The good things go unnoticed but slip up once, and you will never live it down. He hasn't got in trouble, doesn't taunt other players or act like he is special. I'll take hime over some other big name quarterbacks who seem to think they are bigger than the game or the school he represents and has the privilege of playing for.
+33 Tech and I will lay 100 on Furman!
Roger, thanks.

# | Bitter blog - Kendall Fuller on Cardale Jones' DBU tweets: 'They took the W; they can talk' My take:
he's a competitor who wants to fire up his team. I would hope our guys fettle same way. Personally, I think these kids should be given some privacy and not have everything they say broadcast to the world. I thought his " Urban dodged a bullet" comment was pretty spot on as well. I hope he recovers quickly and has a great year.
As for the OSU 'fans" that mock his injury I, as many of my fellow OSU fans know, were disgusted by the low class comments. We have our share of idiots and it hurts me to see a school I love be associated with them.

# | Analyzing Virginia Tech Offensive Coordinator Scot Loeffler's Game Plan Against Ohio State I would bet a lot of Motley's weren't real reads. Loeffler admitted he kind of restrained the playbook for Motley so as not to put him out there for injury when we had already lost 1 QB that game. Hope he will let him loose against Furman, and I bet he'll break off some big runs.

# | Analyzing Virginia Tech Offensive Coordinator Scot Loeffler's Game Plan Against Ohio State I would maintain that having Joey Bosa in the game might have changed that dynamic. He would have played most downs, and then Sam Hubbard (playing in his 1st game as a DE) could have spelled our other DE, leaving both of them relatively fresh.
Welcome...I too consider myself a pretty fly guy...
I'll see myself out.

# | Analyzing Virginia Tech Offensive Coordinator Scot Loeffler's Game Plan Against Ohio State During one of those goal line runs, my WatchESPN feed chose to buffer right as Trey hit the line of scrimmage. The most nerve-wracking 20 seconds of my life.
Glad to hear that you met our fans (instead of our trolls)!
Welcome to TKP and have a leg. Enjoy yourself and make some friends and learn ALOT about Hokie football.
Yes!
My bad, im pretty new around here
I was gonna say the same thing lol.
Life changed...
I'm sure it'll look great...on my computer. Looks like it's espn3 and the laptop this week.
You're going to have to TKP harder.

I think your biggest problem on defense is the middle linebacker, Motu. Overall, you guys have a hell of a defense & a brilliant coach in Foster. He'll find a way to fix it.
Hey, are we at a Utes tailgate?
He committed to VT a few months ago.
Blasphemer! (not you)
Furman University Palladins. Their big thing is yelling "F U!" in call and response style at home games, like our "Let's Go" . . . "Hokies!" Only theirs used to be led by the university president, if you can imagine that. Furman's a small school, but their fans do enjoy having a good time, as tube top girl and giraffe guy so aptly demonstrate :)
