Yea haven't even thought about that. That was a draining street fight off a game. Gonna be hard to get up on a quick turnaround. Especially for a key in conference in division game. Not looking forward to this one. Hope Kysheon Jarret is ok.
Joe, I want to eat some of your butt... and hug everyone
I agree. A win is a win! Even if it's as ugly as the one today, we've got to be better as a team and I think we will. Guys this is only the first year for our offensive coordinator. I haven't seen any team successful with a first year offensive coordinator so I personally think we're going to have growing pains as this team continues to grow. We as fans just have to be patient even when it didn't look good today, we've got to move forward. "A house divided can't stand" so even though its true in the bible I'm applying it to this situation and to our fan base as well.
Bull shit, there are question marks all over this team. Benedict starting over Gibson is another one. These coaches haven't proved a damn thing to me yet regardless of how new the offensive system is. When your QB is throwing into double coverage and triple coverage and staring down wrs IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WHAT SYSTEM HE IS PLAYING.
list all the #s you want...
LT brings many intangibles to the table-
we will see very clearly what they are next year
when we will not have option to play him or not.
Enjoy what you have while you have it.
I know, but just because they are open doesn't mean he has seen them. I commented on one of your posts to say, steinspring did not run an offense that relied on checking down to more open receivers. This entire offense is completely new to LT and it will prepare him well for the NFL. Logan is just as new to this as Leal is. If LT is staring down receivers, so will Leal--it's what they have been taught up until 7 weeks ago. I think we have the best offense we can on the field, I think it is time to recognize that they are just bad, as an entire unit, and we can only hope they improve game to game.
Any word on the Journell thing yet? There was an interesting comment made during the game that Beamer "would address Cody Journell's situation after the game". Did he pull another bone head off-the-field move??
The thing is, it would be much different if there was a 5-star true freshman behind Logan who would eventually set every VT QB record in the book. That was the case with Glennon. There is no quarterback behind Logan who is capable of stepping in and winning more games than him.
I hate to say.........but damn im really dreadin' thursday night now........i so hope we can recharge, then come out & play lights out...
Furthermore, fans keep forgetting this entire offense was installed 4 weeks before alabama. Logan may be a senior, but a new offense takes time to adjust to. Steinspring did not, and I repeat: DID NOT, use progressions. Logan, for 4 years, has never had to check down routes...
What an amazingly accurate "prediction" you have there... ;)

# | Logan Thomas (Or How I Learned To Recognize Outliers And Accept Mediocrity) "He can't be any worse" does not earn you a starting job. "He is clearly better" earns you the job.
Ill say that the pass pro hasn't been as bad as some may seem. He has had open wrs. The last couple games he just forces
This staff has more than proven they'll shake things up and no veteran player was safe.
Logan is obviously our best option at QB.
Turkey leg after I read the first sentence.
Bud just said that he did have a spy on the QB..
how the hell do you know that leal couldn't do better? he hasn't been givin a shot. And he certainly couldn't do any worse than the product that's on the field now throwing consistently into double and triple coverage and staring down wrs. As a SR qb logan still shouldn't be having freshman growing pains but yet he is and people consistently make excuses for him. Personally for me its shit or get off the pot
I missed one helluva crazy game!
29-21 Tech in 3OTs
with blocked Punt for a TD
and a blocked FG in OT.
I stand correct
I completely agree here. As a fan base you stand through the rain to watch your team win or lose because you should always be cheering them on.. Booing or calling for back-ups does nothing to motivate a team (other than the Away team). The coaches get paid to coach and I think Beamer has a convincing resume that suggest he may know what he is doing...
I think I started with ~655 turkey legs? Over 700 now haha
Over/under 3 heart attacks in the fourth quarter/OT?
I think LT is above average. I think he has a high ceiling but hasn't gotten there yet. Just as you point out all of his stats, there is a lot more to QB success than that. He has gotten screwed by bad offensive coaching for his entire career--Loeffler basically said his mechanics were no good, but he is a senior. That says a lot about O'cainspring.
When he had his decent stats, he was an inexperienced QB with a very experienced line and WR corps. The former offensive staff has done horrible recruiting over the past few years and we are finally getting back on track but they aren't at Tech right now.
Finally, in his Senior season, a new offense is installed, a new line is formed, and a ton of young receivers are in the mix. His #1 TE goes down before the season starts, and DJ coales playes timid. The offensive lines showed signs of life, but not enough to protect LT or the running game. In fact, so many people criticize LT for his bad throws but criticize the O-line for the running game...what if I told you the O-line has been responsible in both cases? Well, they are.
So in summation, LT needs to improve, but with the O-line getting no push, questionable play calling in red zone plays, and WR's who drop balls even when they aren't thrown great (a QB looks as good as his WRs catch), then I can't put full blame on him or say that Leal would be better. In fact LT has more game experience which means more decision making ability...I highly doubt leal would be better and this is definitely not the time to pull LT, right before ACC play.
I am a LT supporter because I believe he can be good, but also because, as a fan, I support my coaches decision. I think he needs to improve, but everyone around him needs to as well. I will point to RG3 as my best defense: everyone knows he is great, but if the O-line isn't blocking, RB's aren't getting space, and WR's aren't catching much---how can you ask they guy to be great??? They will both improve, but this year is really going to be a test of patience.
Yup.
