Now let's debate. How many did he throw and how many did he run? It's kind of annoying trying to figure out what happened in the scrimmage. I'm guessing they wanted to keep a lot of stuff under wraps however they did film. Hopefully we'll see some video.
I mean, that's great and everything but...
If all they did was practice RZ offense from here to #BEATBAMA day, that'd be fine with me. Easily the most important part of any offense, and it's brilliant to see Thomas score that many with the yellow jersey on.
If he can score that many without having the benefit of barreling over folks to get across the line, he has the potential to be SCARY good when the lights come on.
they were practicing RZ Offense, still, pretty good. For the Offense, yikes on D.
apologies, didn't realize there was more than one, shouldve specified this was in regards to the first slide
Regardless of which level of D was in against the offense, it's great to see them in a rhythm. Looks like Trey Edmunds scored a TD, too. That's a lot of offense!

Don't tease me.

Has anyone seen any reports online that confirm this? This would be a great series to start up again.
I've only been following for a couple weeks now and been a member for less then that..but this site is the best forum I've been on for Hokie talk!
I am a little unsure of the offensive concept here.
Loeffler is just effin with the Linebacker reads. They see the zone step of their linemen reads, and they flow to the ball. RB has to pass protect backside, hand-off is half-assed for sure but it doesn't need to be too precise, the linemen zone-blocking steps are what isolates the secondary with the WR's.
When the LB's step up to fill their gaps, it allows the WR's to break infront of the Secondary (who now have no underneath LB support). If the secondary gets to aggressive breaking on the route... hit them with a double move for a touchdown to Stanford.
Loeffler really is good at getting his WR's open downfield.
I am absolutely psyched for this. I didn't get heavy into VT football until after we had already played them. Feels like a tiny bit of redemption for me
To me, it is a terminology difference. A cut or chop block is the same thing. A high/low is the illegal block.
I can't help but think about the credits scene of blades of glory with him playing with the dolls after reading that
Somewhere there is a video of a Fork Union defensive tackle jumping me on a cut block. Kid I believe ended up at South Carolina.
On a related note, if anyone has a copy of the 1998 Fork Union Prep Team roster, I would greatly appreciate it.
Logan straight up missed a few throws, more then I'd like.
What was way more frustrating was the overall lack of open targets. I'm going to go ahead and chalk this up to Loeffler not wanting to show off to many of his concepts in a public scrimmage, but Tech will have to do a much better job at getting guys open vs Bama then they did in that saturday scrimmage.
Now I feel like a man.
I'm actually not sure how large of a drop-off it'll be. It's hard to say, because at times RVD looked really good last year and at times he looked average. If Tech as going to get the really good RVD, then it hurts a lot.
But we'll see. Trimble can play, and Whip is one of those spots that you don't really know how someone is going to fare until they are out there. Remember, Cody Grimm shared snaps with Cam Martin for a long time before he outright won his starting position. And Tweedy should have been starting all last year, IMO.
We'll see. Trimble may surprise us with how effective he is.
Their Instagram account has a picture of them doing a video test:
and if you watch the end of one of the clips they posted you can see a second or two of the test running (it's even reflected in the windows in the West Stands):
Statistically speaking, he should be going for it on fourth down everytime inbetween the 50 and field goal range...
I'm curious as to why they didn't put Kendall there. Kendall is clearly the more talented of the two in terms of coverage. Plus, it would allow them to put Kyle at Nickel/Whip when they bring in a 3rd corner.
Maybe they were just unprepared for how quickly Kendall would pick everything up. I wonder if they could do it over again, if they wouldn't try Kendall out at Boundary.
