# | Virginia Tech Football Recruiting: 2016 WR Phillip Patterson Commits to the Hokies I want that job!
like a glove
So I looked at the schedules...looks like our last true primetime game in Lane on Saturday was in fact one I went to -- 2006 Homecoming against Southern Miss. (Unless we count 6 PM against Clemson in 2011, but that's stretching it.)
Since I was doing band homecoming stuff, that means that I've never been to a primetime game as just a fan where there were no classes that day.
They haven't started practice yet I would be shocked if the coaches had decided yet.
I have ZERO disrespect for your offense I find it absolutely amazing that every single player who scored a td is coming back (I think that was the stat). Like I said this game is a toss up.
Those are all great points, I would be more surprised to see the same defense again two years in a row like you said it never happens. All I know is I'm writing this game as a toss up. It's anyone's game but should we win anything more than 10 would really shock me.
I will always and forever be #TEAMCHAMPS
I think that Ohio State wins this game. But this persistent disrespect for the skill of our players (especially on defense) is a constant source of frustration. Very few teams have the personnel to do what we did. There were probably only a dozen secondaries that could have held their own against your receivers and only 4 or 5 defenses that could have stymied your offense (VT, PSU, Clemson, Stanford, and maybe Ole Miss). Yet all that we (and PSU fans) get are excuses.
Brewer was a virtuoso on third down last year.
Berman is short.
I also want to add that WE HAVE to get you off the field on 3rd downs this year. 50% ins't great but I expect more out of an Ohio State defense than that.
Are you trying to make the thread relevant?
If the Virginia Tech defense needed some additional inspiration for this game, this article provides it.
I welcome the arrogant comments from Ohio State.
It just adds to the motivation for VT.
That's not entirely true. Indiana had a great deal of success running the bear out of their base 3-4. It kept them in the game way past when they should have. Well, that, the persistent turnover problem you guys had, and linebackers not making the correct run fits against Tevin Coleman. I was surprised that it didn't get more attention, but I suppose since you guys ran away with it in the 4th quarter the booing in the 3rd quarter got ignored. Anyway, Jalin Marshall pretty much single-handedly won that game for OSU and he isn't playing in this game, so...
Other teams had a lot of success with stacking the box and eliminating the numbers advantage. It was just that no teams other than VT and PSU had secondaries good enough to hang with your WR corps and play it consistently. Minnesota had some success flashing a 4-4G look (I think it was this and not a 46 look) and cover 0, but they couldn't stop that QB counter. Anyway, as a result of weaknesses in the secondary, only Maryland, Kent State, and Indiana ran the bear with any consistency. And none of those teams really have the same amount of talent in the front 7 that we do.
That being said, I very sincerely doubt that Bud Foster will run the bear so frequently this time because of the weaknesses that it does have and because, well, he very rarely runs the exact same defense against a team two years in a row.
OSU hasn't ANNOUNCED a starting quarterback, which is different from saying that they haven't settled on one.

# | "Ohio State players ready for rematch with Virginia Tech" By Mark Berman Yes, sir, we do.
I'd also like to note that with 1 exception, the Buckeyes visiting have been outstanding online individuals.

# | "Ohio State players ready for rematch with Virginia Tech" By Mark Berman It's obvious that Foster is not going to throw the Bear at OSU again. The real question is if the Buckeyes will be able to handle the ManBearPigAntelopeGazellePlayedHisNutsOff defense.
I did happen to catch the one and I absolutely loved it. It was amazing to me how the biggest difference was the ability to get the edge at the LOS. I do not expect your defense to allow that again this year I will be interested to see what differences the offense makes to counter. PS you guys have a heck of writing staff.

# | "Ohio State players ready for rematch with Virginia Tech" By Mark Berman A version of the Bear at other places IS NOT the same as the bear at VT under Foster. French had a great post about why MSU, Bama and Oregon did not play a real Bear D.

# | "Ohio State players ready for rematch with Virginia Tech" By Mark Berman If you ask me Bud's game plan last year has already set the trap...
I'll be in lot 18 with a crew starting Bout 9 am.
Lot 18 is right across from the Duck Pond and is grassy.
This week is he planning sessions for the tailgate starting up so, no details yet.
I don't buy that this game is "huge" for them in the sense that it is for us. Us beating them Last year didn't keep them out of their conference championship game, the playoffs, or winning the Natty. However, it has been on our mind for a year. This is the biggest game in Lane and we want to crush them. They just want to get by.
