It's called slow-playing, it takes away the pitch, and then uses the superior athletic ability of the defender to stop the QB keeper, with one defender. Wouldn't work against Barrett...it's meant to compensate for having to put the safeties elsewhere
I caught the Sun Bowl reference but only because the situation was very similar, eerily similar. Although, both Leal and Motley (when in similar situations) had that deer in the headlight, and WTH do I do now look.
Actually, I'm pretty sure it was 17-21 when Brewer went down - OSU scored on their opening drive of the half to retake the lead. But still, your point was that the game wasn't out of hand at all at that point, and that's true. I think the opposite was what the coaches had in mind. The game was still close, and you have your declared backup QB healthy and available. That coupled with the fact that Lawson is clearly not ready yet, and there was no way they were going to put him in in that situation.
Blocking, did we forget the inept ability to block even the wind. That was where I was going with there. Yes as for catching the ball, it was a bit underwhelming but they did block well.
Were you guys jumping on the seats or the floor?
I let my 6 year old daughter jump on the seats, while I hold her hand, so she can see.
I'd think adults would be jumping on the concrete flooring.
Motley =\= Leal fyi
You're the one not being cool.
I saw nothing offensive by Cosmo, including the posts that got downvoted to oblivion because a lot of people were unhappy last night.
I'll take 200 (almost) passing yards 100 rushing yards and 3 td with a pick. Cardale can make thow's that nobody else can
Like everyone, I was disappointed in the result last night. I really thought there was a good chance to win. But in the "silver lining" and "moral victory" department, several observations...
1. Newsflash: OSU is really good. They have 4 players (Jones, Barrett, Eliot, and Miller) who if they played for other schools would be Heisman candidates. This is the best, most talented, deepest team we will play by far.
2. Our offensive line did a good job against a very good defense. We have several talented backs.
3. For the future, we need Motley/Durkin/Lawson to get experience.
4. I still like our chances to win the ACC.
5. I am a bit concerned about the defense, but I trust that Bud will come through. I can't understand the technique against the option where our defender tried to play it halfway between the QB and the pitchman. We got burned just about every time.
we saw major improvement from the WRs? Missed that. We only had 2 WRs even play and one of them had 2 catches for 5 yards. Ford ended up with a decent stat line from the last TD.
Exactly.

# | Ohio State Game Convinces Dozens of High-Profile Recruits to Trek to Blacksburg Any word on recruits response to their visit?
One interesting comment I saw at another site was to move Sam Rogers to Mike linebacker. By golly his leadership would be useful in that role. But he is needed more than ever on O, where there is now a leadership vacuum - Motley seemed to totally lack leadership and poise (which Brewer overflowed with). Motley has no excuse, he is a junior for Pete's sake. Look at the poise Tyrod had in 2007 when his redshirt got burned and he came into the Saturday nite LSU game as a true FR (I think) and led the Hokies to their only TD of that game against the eventual champs in a uniquely hostile environment. Sorry, but with two + years to prepare, and with obvious skill and athleticism, Motley still seemed woefully unprepared, and I don't see how anyone really believes that will change in four days when it hasn't in two plus years.
How the heck don't you notice that?
Yep, someone in our group overheard them reporting it to the cops outside the stadium.
What!? That's terrible.
You were cool til you started gloating kosmo - hope you guys find yourself in the cellar you were a few years ago.
There have been many of the bench bleachers broken off in the student sections through the years. This is nothing new. I could be wrong, but I doubt seriously the entire structure is in jeopardy.

# | Hokies Fail to Recapture Columbus Magic, Fall to Buckeyes 42-24 and Lose QB Michael Brewer yup.. 1 huge hold,MOTO getting blown out all night by a o linemen and a true freshmen in adonis taking a pretty bad angle..
A surprising number of Hokie fans have morphed Leal and motley into the same guy and have only remembered the bad parts of both.
That's true at other stadiums as well.
The bench I was standing on in NEZ was more like a trampoline. Surprised it held out for the game.
