# | Hokies Fail to Recapture Columbus Magic, Fall to Buckeyes 42-24 and Lose QB Michael Brewer If he's ready, do it. If he's not, hell no. We can't afford to screw the QB room up for three more years.
Something that has gotten lost here a bit: Ryan Malleck. Holy crap. Some of those catches he made were insane. I wonder how 2013 might've gone with him healthy..... Easy to see why he was the focal point of Loeffler's plans.
Sam Rogers doesn't get ready for games, games get ready for Sam Rogers.
I love the attitude of Sam Rogers. "Uh, it's a team game. At the end of the day it's a team game. It's not about me at all, but they gave me an opportunity to make a play and it was my job to make a play. (QB) Michael (Brewer) had a great pass and there was great protection up front, but at the end of the day it's a team game."
We lost to a good dang team who was doing their best to run the score up. We hung with them until injury took us out of the game. Now we have 3 days effectively to get Motley/Durkin/Lawson ready for the next game. In the end, it was an OOC game and is in the past. Next game up, Furman.
We know from history, the loser of the aOSU-VT game, runs the table and wins the national championship. Time to put on the big boy pants and get to work.

# | Hokies Fail to Recapture Columbus Magic, Fall to Buckeyes 42-24 and Lose QB Michael Brewer Just give him 20000 calories a day so he can keep gaining weight :)
Or at the very least, the Michael Phelps diet...
A New York Post account of Phelps's... wait for it... 12,000-calorie-a-day diet, gave us a stomachache. Could one human being really consume that much and still be in Phelps's shape? And could this possibly be healthy for Phelps, even considering his five-hours-a-day, six-days-a-week exercise regimen?

No, it didn't occur to me at all. It's just filler...you can only show so many ex-players, play "name that tune" segments, and have "guess the year" contests.
My guess is that they would have done the same thing 5-10 years ago if they had a huge screen, a decent sound system, and fans/students that so desperately need to be entertained non-stop then like they do now.

# | Hokies Fail to Recapture Columbus Magic, Fall to Buckeyes 42-24 and Lose QB Michael Brewer That second run, on replay one of Ohio State's DTs grabbed an ankle long enough for the rest of the team to close the hole.
I agree, he should have put it in on the first run.
Am I the only one who was not encouraged by Motley's TD pass? He threw back across his body, on the move, into double coverage, and it happened to work. Sure, it's nice to have a TD but I can't imagine that's a play I want to see him try to make more often.
irregardless of last night's turnout, i'm still proud of how our Hokies performed on the national stage. i love what our team is made of as we took each punch from OSU and counterpunched back with a lead going into halftime.
i will always love/support this team no matter what and my loyalty to the university knows no bounds--GO HOKIES!!!
My thoughts (worthless ofcourse)
QBs- Brewer looked much improved. hoping for a speedy recovery. Motley- Dear in headlights comes to mind. If Lawson is anywhere close burn the redshirt if not take our lumps with Motley/Durkin.
RBs- Sam Rogers is a MAN, JC- woulda liked to have seen them give him some touches after the fumble but he gets extra credit for Swag with the gold watch, trey looked solid, need more McMillian hes a big play threat every time he touches it.
WR/TE- Bucky wasnt Bucky, Malleck reminds me of Jeff King soft hands. Ford solid as always, didnt seem much from Cam or newsome.
OL- Much improved, this unit will be solid (cant believe im writing that) Nijman especially impressed me.
DL- Dadi blew up one play in the backfield before they could hand it off otherwise they didnt standout, ALOT of missed tackles i know Cardale is huge tackle him low!
Linebackers- 54 hurt us, thought that may be the case. Good to see RVD on the field though.
DBs- couple of shady pass interference calls on us. Thought Fuller/Facyson didnt look right, liked seein Adonis in the game he looked good so did frye, disappointed not seeing Donovan Riley more.
Overall with Brewer this team has ACC title game potential for sure without him it could be 7-5 or 4-8 only time will tell but for a Half they knew they were in the Terrordome.
Sidenote: Cardale is a Piece of work between the ears, But a great football player
You'll get a leg from me if you edit out the last line.

# | Hokies Fail to Recapture Columbus Magic, Fall to Buckeyes 42-24 and Lose QB Michael Brewer I don't think so...Durkin's a redshirt freshman, so he has a year in the qb room, and hes almost the same kind of threat as motley...
It was obvious from across the field in Section 18 that if Trey had followed Sam he would have been in the end zone.
I'm proud of how this team played. Regardless of the outcome, Ohio State is good. They are really good. There is no denying that. Players stepped up that helped out the team. Between Sam Rogers, Ryan Malleck, Deon Clarke, and of course, Michael Brewer, the team was fully functioning. It's unfortunate that injuries exist in games like these, but like the coaches said, focus on the present.

# | Hokies Fail to Recapture Columbus Magic, Fall to Buckeyes 42-24 and Lose QB Michael Brewer You better believe you will see D-Law against Furman now. I'm hoping it will turn into when Tyrod came in for Glennon (as a true freshman) against LSU and soared the rest of the season.
Purdue is the B1Gs version of loluva. Marshall lost 75% of their offensive yards and weapons from last year and managed to beat lolPurdue. If they bring what they had Sunday to our game, we will win. Their coach looked lost most of the game too; just another thing in common with loluva.
In the fog of sulky morning afters, I have failed to notice any mention of Sam Rogers. I was very impressed with how ready he was to play this game.
They should play the guy that gives them the best chance to win. If they feel that is Motley, then play him until they feel otherwise. If needed, my guess is that Lawson will be the next QB up. He has the most talent, just needs experience. Hopefully Motley and Lawson or Durkin will do well until Brewer is healthy.
Buckeye fan here. I really enjoyed the matchup with you guys. I'm a member of eleven warriors, and the guys over there referenced this site prior to the matchup. I've read a few articles here and the comments. Just wanted to let you guys know this is a quality site and most of your fans have been pretty classy in the build up to the game. I feel bad for the injury to your quarterback. It was a great (and nerve racking) game until that point. Hope he has a speedy recovery. I also hope you guys win the ACC (and not FSU or Clemson). Good luck on the rest of your season.
Agreed. Jones is really good. I just hope sitting in Meyer's system doesn't spoil his NFL opportunity. He's got a heavy skill set.
He won't be so fun-loving after the Buckeyes are sitting at 5-6 and have to beat their arch rival just to get to a bowl game.
We all know what happens to the winner of this game.

There was one super douche a few rows in front that almost got in a fight after 14-0. Then by the half he was quiet and he didn't do anything the second half
AWESOME SAUCE

# | Hokies Fail to Recapture Columbus Magic, Fall to Buckeyes 42-24 and Lose QB Michael Brewer Nah, you're good. He was standing on the sidelines looking like he really did not want to be either at the game or take Motley's place under center. Either way, not a real confidence builder for me as a fan, but like I said above, I just hope it was the shock of seeing a fellow teammate get hurt and that as the Furman game approaches, the kid can get straight.
5) The health of Kendall Fuller and Brandon Facyson, who I can't remember seeing in the 4th quarter is worrisome.
The radio broadcasters were saying it was just cramps, not a major health concern. I did notice that Fuller was back on the field for their next possession after they scored the TD that got them to 42.
He did struggle with timing a bit, but the ball that Hodges dropped was better thrown than the ball Malleck caught later on. And even the ball to Ford on the 1st possession was still really close to reception.
