# | I've been playing NCAA13 because I needed to see VT win on the field. During the off-season coaching carousel, this happened: Love it! In mine, Stiney got the HC position at Pitt after Chryst was fired in my sixth year. I subsequently hired Chryst as my OC for the SEC East (also runs power sets). Also, Bud got the Michigan State HC job and won consecutive B1G titles with one Rose Bowl win. I won't play MSU out of respect...and fear, even in a video game.
If I were OC for a day, I would get back to basic run schemes in the blocking up front- first and foremost. I would rather be able to get 3 yards when I have to than pass protect for 15 minutes at a time. VT is not Bama, so we are not going to recruit 5 DJ Flukers who can do both, etc. So focus on the run game blocking- man scheme and back to the basics- more middle drill, encourage David Wang to pursue other opportunities, get Shuman some playing time, etc. My second emphasis would be around guys like JC Coleman, Demetri Knowles, Kevin Asante. these kids are not going to muscle a safety down the field or help you between the tackles. Get them outside and in space- put JC in motion, and actually give him the ball. Don't pretend that Asante is Jarrett Boykin- let him run some slants, and dig routes as opposed to "go deep, really deep". Lastly, do a better job calling plays and not panicking on 3rd down. When its 3rd and 8- try to pick up the damn 8 yards.. run a 9 yard play once in a while..not a 50 yard bomb every time. A good OC does this anyway- dont panic on 3rd down- actually prepare your team to execute a 7-9 yard play with regularity. Also- VT has had a terrible package against the blitz as long as Beamer has been coach- fix that please.

If anyone ever wants to play me in '13, my PSN: is wisec4g
I agree with this to a point...Gayle is the type of physical freak who would soar up draft lists after he ran a 4.5 at the combine. I think he could have gone in the 2nd round this year. Not that he can't run a 4.5 in next year's combine, and do it then, though.

Try to call just about equal number of plays run/pass, use misdirection by running counters, draws, etc after setting them up well (set up counter by running heavy to one side for majority of time, and setting up the draws with a bunch of quick slants). In addition to that, use more play action but make it dependent on whether the run game is working well. If run game isn't working well, set up the quick passing game first, then work into the draws and eventually open up the running game.
This works to PERFECTION in the video games... I usually put up about 40/game. On Heisman difficulty. But then again, it's a video game... But in theory, this scheme could work.
I like to think that Logan grew up playing football with giants (6'6-8'0) and he's having a hard time adjusting to playing with such tiny creatures. ...explains why his passes are always thrown to 8ft tall receivers.

...this is exactly how I felt last year before the season started. We really came together towards the end of the year, but man.... the start of the season was just...rough. I'm going to hold my tongue this year and see how things play out. But, GOD, do I hope we play lights out every game.

Next year could be the year, if we have a functioning offensive staff. After we #BEATBAMA, we should be able to dominate our ACC slate and whatever cupcakes we scheduled after we #BEATBAMA.

I'd play the wishbone. Luther Maddy at fullback flanked by Gayle on one side and Kris Harley on the other. I would run 3 plays. Dive right, dive left, power sweep with Gayle tote'n the rock. He runs a 4.6, right? With all that beef and attitude he's bound to roll some Bama backers. I say line up and kick their teeth in. Boo-yah.

We all know you're all about pounding out and the power O.

What percentage of the fan base would want Logan to actually come back? The vitriol has just been over the top as far as I'm concerned, but I wonder how many people would take Logan declaring as good news.
I'd start out by saying "I'm having a transfusion of Bud Foster's DNA tomorrow, and I intend for our system to be the offense version of his defense. We will hurt people."
i started a pep hamilton dynasty with stanford. unfortunately i have not been offered VT HC or OC after first 2 years, so i'll stick at stanford until i do.
playing the pound-it-out i formation is fun though. power o all day!
Throw in some actual tight ends that can play, and this is my perfect wishlist. It should be easier to find some now that rule #3 implies that we won't be playing them at all five line positions and QB.

I want blocking wide receivers. I want our O line to CRUSHKILL the opposition's soul. I want a running back that isn't afraid to lower his shoulder and hits the hole like the dude that knocked up his sister is in there waiting for him. I want Logan to run over a LB and laugh at him afterward. And I'd also like to see Logan play like he's not in fear of his life when he drops back, because I think if you give him a reasonable amount of time, he's a pretty good passer.
