Better watch out, don't want him pulling a Bill Gramatica on us...

Disagree. With the exception of the overthrow against Miami, the fullback is never open. They have ran the fullback clear out at least 8 times starting with the Clemson game. It has only been open once, with Logan getting picked once and most of the time he pulls it down and runs. I almost think it is a run/pass option, with the fullback pulling the linebacker out to open a lane, but it doesn't leave a much room for error, especially with Phillips being so limited as a receiver.

Really the only logical explanation. Bring them back in a couple years to make big $$

what about the 2* prospects that became nfl prospects?? you don't think he had something to do with that? what about the progress that knowles has made as a redshirt freshman when he wasn't even playing football five years ago?? you can hardly blame marcus davis's performance soley on sherman? the one thing that is kevin sherman's fault though -- is that he didn't get him fixed or benched until now.

as far as the pistol -- they haven't given it a fair shot. it could work with a little time and competent offensive coaches at the helm.

So what are they going to change it to instead? Please go back to the all maroon everything With the orange stripe down the side of the pants.

thing about that fb out is it seems he's always open on it, we just can't seem to complete the damn pass to save our lives.

all of the blame and none of the credit?

The coaches stubbornness to get the best players on the field has plagued us all year and this is even more evident now that they finally played them. This is seen at almost every position. The WR mess is well talked about, but Roberts should have been benched weeks ago and we all know about Davis. Corey Fuller and Knowles produce, so keep them on the field and if Roberts isn't producing give someone else a shot. At Rb it took the coaches weeks to realize that Holmes wasn't producing. On the interior Line, they continue to play Wang for god knows what reason. At TE, they have Eric Martin playing during blocking situations when he is clearly a worse blocker than even Marcus Davis. Are you telling me that you can't put Redman, Perez-Means, or mcCray in there to block? At DE, Collins hadn't done anything, while Tyrel Wilson has had major production in limited minutes and finally after 9 games he gets a start. The Whip has been non-existent this year, while Tweedy had been riding the bench. Their rational for not playing him makes no sense, stating that mentally he doesn't understand some packages. Wouldn't the same apply to RVD and Michael Cole? Put him in a position where he can succeed, he has always been a gamer whenever he has played. However, the single most baffling personnel move goes to coach FB himself for continuing to play Abbott on kickoffs when the other team is getting the ball at the 35+ every position. Branthover was kicking TBs and not giving the other team a chance to return it. While Abbott has been doing kick offs, we have giving up a TD and multiple long returns.

Additional Thoughts:
- More of the same inconsistencies and not making plays are why we lost this game. LT missing easy throws, linemen and Wrs missing easy blocks, not making the tough plays like dropping INTs, not scooping up fumbles, and Marcus Davis being Marcus Davis.
- Despite his Fouls, I am very excited about exum. He has improved so much since the start of the season and he always is in the WR hip pocket. He just needs to work on his technique when the ball is in the air.
- I hope Kyle Fullers injuries are the reason for his poor play, or else next year we need an answer at the 2nd corner spot.
- Coleman running the Digg route against a Lb is unstoppable if LT can ever consistently make the throw.
- Tony Gregory deserves more Playing time for his effort.
- The isolated FB out routes need to be erased from the play book.

Yeah recruiting for VT in the 757 should be pretty friggin easy if you think about it. We've been the dominant football school in the area for a decade now! Why would the best in the area pick another regional school over Tech? He lost countless 4 stars in the past years. I think anyone else could do just as good of a job in that area.

...that MOC is the OC and that they demoted Stiney to OL coach a few years ago and just didn't announce it. Stiney's OC role is to "gameplan." I doubt he's doing that in a vacuum, so if MOC is helping gameplan and calling plays, he is the de facto OC.

I also believe that hiring a top notch OL coach would probably fix 90% of our offensive woes. Get a good OL coach and any play works.

I also believe that Sherman isn't worth keeping at this point. He did some good work previously, as you mentioned, but the devolution of the WR's this year signals that he has lost his effectiveness and his lack of recruiting doesn't help.

If we only replace Newsome and Sherman this year, which is the most likely scenario, I believe we will improve dramatically on the offensive side.

USC -3.5
Texas Tech +10.5
Buckeyes +2.5
Monarchs (no clue on this one!)
Klein State -11.5
Stanford +20.5

Isn't Pot an NCAA rule and not a team rule? I would think they would still not be allowed to smoke on the trippy stick.
