He was responding to your dissection, where you counted parts of the offense and the overall offense separately. You double-counted the badness. Put the two posts together and it's pretty accurate.
I hope Nnadi saw an insane defense and a crowd that doesn't give up on its team until the bitter end.
You just dissected less than half of the team.
Analyze it how you want. Teams like Baylor have more credibility than us these days... Baylor!!
Having half a great team and half a bad team means you are not that good of a team.
Moot point. Look at Blanding and Brown.
False. Duke has 2 conference losses. We have 1. We have the same overall record, but that's not what determines ACC CG participation.
Well if you break it down like that, here is the other side:
Great defensive backs
Great defensive line
Good Linebackers
Great Punter
You can't dissect the offense and not the defense.
DUKE SHARES OUR RECORD.
There is no open window to the conference championship. Get your head out of the clouds.
That said I live and die by this team, and i hate it.
We do not have half of a NC team.
Bad offense
Bad running game
Bad receivers
Bad place kicking
Bad returns
Great defense
Still unfortunately not 1/2 a NC team
I was referring to my 6 year old brothers league where everyone always gets medals, and they don't keep score.
Sorry
Completely Agree!!! I am a huge LT fan, the kid wants to win, plain and simple! Look out BC...
I was being bitter when I said that. I know what LT was recruited for, and I know what the coaches asked him to be, I just get frustrated with all this bench logan nonsense. Let's support the team and let the coaches coach.
I agree.
Diagnosis and adjustment is one thing, bad mouthing is quite another.
I'm going to rewatch the game as I was there and missed some stuff and probably misremembering some others.
What I do know is we had a couple decent drives, we got 380+ yards and have a heck of a D.
There were some big errors that cost is the game but, there were a lot of things that went right.
Next time, we need to get Sam Rogers the ball.
And make him mad so he shows the other team his teeth.
On that note, I had other guys in my section cheering when we saw Sam come in the game and people asking for his number so they can watch for him at the away games.
We have 1/2 a NC team. Let's keep the guys encouraged so they can learn and get ready for the ACCCG.
In response to your first bit, see Texas A&M this year. Top 5 offense, triple-digit-ranked defense.
I agree with supporting the team, and each other... and you are correct, even the coaches. You are also correct, who knows what Mike Glennon might have been at Tech. On the other hand, I don't think "everyone" wants LT to be a tight end, it is actually what he wanted and what he was recruited for. I pull for LT as a QB all day long, he is doing what, united, the coach's, the team and himself bought in as the best move. At the end of the day we are 6-2 bowl eligible at this point in the year, which is a heck of a lot better than last year.
I think everyone is a little uneasy about losing tonight, but something positive must come out of this from the team/coaching side moving forward. Go hokies!
... and six years ago, Boston College and UVA were more than respectable.
Change happens.
I'm actually glad that the next two games are away. Imagine if people really are down on the team to the point of booing or just not showing up. That would be ugly. Let today be a learning experience for the coming weeks. Good effort and preparation will pay off, and hopefully there will be a great crowd for the Maryland game with a VT team that has another win or two on its record. We played like crap today, but that doesn't mean we will play like crap again.
yeah, fair enough thank you, I feel a lot more educated now
this is the first time going home from a game where I feel like what the hell did Loeffler see that we didnt?
oh....yeah he had to go hahaha
...at this point we need to support the coaches, the team, and each other.
VT fans literally pushed a good recruit away (Mike Glennon) after booing his brother off the field several times. Who knows how good Mike would have been if he came here and had a tight end LT to throw to like everyone seems to want him to be.
I am damn proud to be a Hokie, and it make me so upset when everyone hates on players and coaches like they do. This is a team sport, and today they dropped the ball. Do you seriously think the players don't know that? Do you think they were laughing after the game? Do you think that LT sits at home thinking he just played a good game?
We are only as strong as we are united, as weak as we are divided.
Hite wasn't a nutjob, he just wasn't an effective recruiter in later years; got offended when kids visited other schools and would tell them so. He wasn't diplomatic enough to play the recruiting game.
I can't tell this season what the real problem is. RB vision and decision-making is a problem, but is it because run blocking has been ineffective, causing the RBs to hesitate? We saw some flashes of good running today, but then the game plan changed.
I can't remember another college football team where the defense (awesome) and offense (horrific) were such polar opposites. If you don't count the three touchdowns our offense & special teams gave Alabama, our defense is only giving up 12 points per game. Our team is only averaging 21 points per game (which also includes our points from interception & block punt returns). Take away those and our offense is only averaging 19.5 points per game. Therefore, our offense is only giving the defense a one TD buffer. When you think about it, if our defense wasn't this awesome we may not have more than 1 or 2 wins at this point. With interceptions and consistent defensive stops, how many times have we stopped the other team from scoring this 1 TD that would close the 19-12 point gap? (rhetorical question)
Hite was quoted as he had given up on recruiting and dreaded being asked to do it. That is a big part of all of the coaches jobs.
Speaking of, what was Duke's 3rd down conversion rate tonight? :) has a 0.0 inn front of whatever sig digit there was.
fair enough see i dont remember hite being a nutjob because well...that was before I became a hokie lunatic that being said the dude knew his stuff, I just feel like our RBs don't look as decisive as they used to
I think I dissected half the special teams (p, k) and the defense. All I am saying is you can't say we have a bad offense and half bad/decent special teams but then just list great defense. It could also be summed up:
Bad Offense
Great Defense
Average Special Teams.
That looks like half of a NC team to me. Why is it offensive that Baylor is good? It happens...teams get better, teams get worse.
