# | Hokies Fail to Recapture Columbus Magic, Fall to Buckeyes 42-24 and Lose QB Michael Brewer hokiesports.com has us listed as the winner
But if Lawson is the QB for our future, why have Brewer apply for a 6th year to be a backup. I mean if that's what he wanted to do by all means. But I don't see him applying for a 6th year if the coaches say "we're playing lawson and he's the QB for the foreseeable future."

# | Hokies Fail to Recapture Columbus Magic, Fall to Buckeyes 42-24 and Lose QB Michael Brewer Granted, but what we saw with Motley wasn't an appreciable dropoff, if was a complete grinding halt.
Lefty already said they basically played Motley on a leash because they were worried about him rolling an ankle. That won't cut it going forward. You can't magically turn Brendan Motley into a pocket passer. If you aren't going to let him run, you kill whatever chance of success you have with him.
Hopefully Lefty realizes this and was simply in a mindframe of "get us out of this game with only one injured QB."

# | Hokies Fail to Recapture Columbus Magic, Fall to Buckeyes 42-24 and Lose QB Michael Brewer I truly wanted only one thing last night: to see an improved offense.
A win would have been nice. But Lefty showed us all that with the right tools, he can make that thing go.
Everyone who is down on Mot for now should just accept that the backup qb for 95 percent of the teams in any league is going to have a long night against the top team.
Give him a week of number one reps, and let's evaluate his ability after the next few games.
Losing Brewer stings. But I am still pumped for the future of this program.

# | Hokies Fail to Recapture Columbus Magic, Fall to Buckeyes 42-24 and Lose QB Michael Brewer It's all Stiney's fault! No not at all, but he needs to get his sorry ass down on the sideline. From the little I can see during the telecast the offense just seems to wander around like a herd of sheep when not in play. From what I saw Motley had that, "oh shit, it's me" lost moment when Brewer got hurt and there was no coach to take him and lead him into the game with reassuring encouragement. Disagree but I really think an organizer is needed during games to keep the O focused. Headphones don't get it.

# | Hokies Fail to Recapture Columbus Magic, Fall to Buckeyes 42-24 and Lose QB Michael Brewer While that's true, others won't see the massive drop in production we did. When Brewer went out, the passing game went with him. We went one dimensional, and the second OSU realized our passing game was shot they pinned their ears back and we were done.
But I wasn't just talking about QB. If we have Ford or Phillips go down, we're not looking good at WR. If we lose anyone on OL, as we saw last year, things get rough. If we lose either of our DEs, Lord help us. Right now we are a talented team but we're not deep. If we want to legitimately take that next step and get back to where we were we can't be so thin at so many spots.
Dammit. I take the blame for the jinx guys :(

# | Hokies Fail to Recapture Columbus Magic, Fall to Buckeyes 42-24 and Lose QB Michael Brewer Agree with pretty much everyone here. The biggest heart-ache about this loss is that of Brewer. We'll never know what could've been with him in the game. You could see the difference on both sides of the ball once he went out. Oh well. Nothing we can do. We are now even with the defending national champs. Could be worse.
As for Motely, I don't know. I guess we'll see next week where he's at. He was obviously number 2 for a reason and I'm not sure he has the passing prowess that Brewer does. I hope he proves me wrong. I for one have been a supporter or red-shirting Lawson, however now I don't know. If he doesn't have a grip on the offense then no, you still keep him out. No reason to burn it to watch him stumble through a season just to get "experience". But if he's on par with Motely then I think that takes some serious consideration. I doubt we see Brewer again this year. At best it's three weeks and he's back but I don't know how that's possible. He's tough though so we'll see. At worst, 8 weeks. That puts us at week 9. If he's ready by then I don't think you screw whatever we have going and bring him in for a couple games.....unless we are a dumpster fire at that point.
So frustrating to loose him. Best of luck in his recovery.
EDIT: Oh and Alex, the final was 42-24 not 42-17. Nice quick write up though.

# | Hokies Fail to Recapture Columbus Magic, Fall to Buckeyes 42-24 and Lose QB Michael Brewer Really sorry about Brewer. The kid was playing fantastically and is tough as nails. I wish him a speedy recovery and good luck to the Hokies - who have some of the classiest fans in sports - the rest of the way.
Would Scott Loeffler please pass along his insights to the Buckeyes' defensive coaching staff? He said, "It would've been nice to see what would've happened with Brewer in that second half, I thought we had a ridiculous game plan for the second half to take advantage of what they did. We found a way in the second quarter and I think we had some really cool stuff to exploit them . . ."? Not to make excuses, but VT's style of offense (old school, but with lots of creative misdirection plays, using talented TEs/FBs) - and how well they execute it with Brewer fully healthy - seems to give the Ohio State D fits.
Not so sure about the neck and neck comment and we belong. Took just about every break for us to go into half leading. The TD they called back against oSU and then a missed FG (yes we missed one too). The muffed punt after they forced a 3 and out that we converted to a TD. Their WRs dropping balls (the first bad drop still resulted in a TD however that drive).

# | Hokies Fail to Recapture Columbus Magic, Fall to Buckeyes 42-24 and Lose QB Michael Brewer Alex, the final score was 42-24, not 17. The funny thing is the HokiesXtra app has it 24-42.

# | Hokies Fail to Recapture Columbus Magic, Fall to Buckeyes 42-24 and Lose QB Michael Brewer I feel horrible for Brewer. He's such a great kid, I hope he gets back soon. I really don't know what else to say. We have 2 games coming up for Motley or Durkin to get meaningful time and experience. Manage the games, get better, and don't let this season get away from us.
Burn the shirt, and go all in on Lawson. If he's as good as advertised, he needs to play and start against Furman. We cannot afford to waste a year of the talent we have at WR and TE when we have the potential we have. Burn it and work your balls off on the recruiting trail to ensure we are legitimately able to go next man up in situations during games like that going forward.

# | Hokies Fail to Recapture Columbus Magic, Fall to Buckeyes 42-24 and Lose QB Michael Brewer Yeah they are usually right up front with Beamer and Co at the tunnel exit onto the field and see them run on but they were at the very back by that point and you didn't see people hitting the hokie stone or anything. A little lackluster if you ask me.
they already said Lawson isn't going to shirt, get him in there.

# | Hokies Fail to Recapture Columbus Magic, Fall to Buckeyes 42-24 and Lose QB Michael Brewer I'm not sure how many great programs there are that can lose a starting QB in a game and not have an appreciable drop off with the backup. Obviously Ohio State is one but I would rather think they're an extreme outlier.
My bad on this comment. Let my emotions get the best of me after getting so many similar texts from anOSU fans and my experience up in Columbus last year
Burn the redshirt. The future is now and it's got Lawson's name on it.

# | Hokies Fail to Recapture Columbus Magic, Fall to Buckeyes 42-24 and Lose QB Michael Brewer I think last night showed that our recruiting still has a very long way to go to have our program where it needs to be. To be a legitimate top team, and there are a couple in the ACC, you must have quality depth. Bringing in classes ranked 20-35 every year can give you a lot of quality at you're starting spots but things will get sketchy fast. Last night we were absolutely not prepared for the possibility that Brewer would be out, and we showed just how thin our talent runs. Great programs can go next man up and not miss to much a beat as they have a roster of 2 or 3 deep at every position based on the work they do on the recruiting trail.
Now some will say that we will never be a program that does that. If that's the case, we've probably already seen the peak of our success in the 2000s. I know the recruiting had gotten better, but it's still not good enough and any legitimate discussion on how we are going to take that next step as a program has to start there.

# | Hokies Fail to Recapture Columbus Magic, Fall to Buckeyes 42-24 and Lose QB Michael Brewer To be fair, when we beat them last year, you could hear VT fans chant at the shoe. When a team starts getting housed it's going to happen.

Your last sentence is 100% dead-on. As awesome as a win might have been last night, going all-in on OSU is a bad gamble. We have to think about competing in our own conference for the rest of the season. If Motley went down because we bet the house last night, we were really doomed. It's dicey enough as it is right now.
