You want to pound on the numbers so hard, so let's flip that just a bit. Drones was 3 for 11 at that point and it included 4 drops by wide receivers. Not the hey they had to super extend their bodies drops ...nope the hit them in both hands center of mass drops. If our WR did their one job, then Drones is 7 for 11 for 86 yards and the Hokies have 4 more first downs and drives continue. Heath alone cost the offense 45 yards in drops. One of those puts the Hokies in FG range at a minimum. Drones was by far not perfect but putting all the bullshit on him with our putrid pass protection and butter finger receivers is comical. It was a top to bottom poor performance from every member of the offense and special teams. Defense was quasi decent.
Fortunately its over and time to clean house. Of the current QB room, I would expect only Brand might stay. Pop will go down a level, Rangel too. Half the WR room is likely gone as well.
Only ones I feel bad for on offense are our Running backs and Benji Gosnell. The RBs laid their bodies on the line this year every time out and Gosnell appeared to be placed in a black hole.
I tend to agree with this take on Monty. While I never wanted Monty to be seriously considered for the head coaching job, I do appreciate his efforts in holding the team together through a very difficult situation. I know if I ever run into Monty around Blacksburg his drinks are covered.
The network is expanding. ODU and working on GT. I tried everything I could to prevent the elevator debacle. My cover got blown
I'm torn between rooting for Duke to win to prevent UVA from having a playoff appearance, and thinking that the stability of the ACC might be negatively impacted by the ACC champion being left out of the playoffs. The narrative that the ACC is falling behind the American conference could be enough motivation for FSU to start up again about leaving despite the cost of the media rights and not having any better conference options available.
I'm currently thinking UVA winning the ACC championship and losing first round of the playoffs might be the best remaining outcome, in the interests of keeping the ACC together long enough for VT to rebuild a more attractive program for the P2.
Also, we would've won if y'all hadn't talked me into putting Drones' name in my signature prematurely. Let this be a lesson.
throw the ball
It's all good. UVa gets their one win against us per decade. Get ready for another 7+ years of kicking their ass moving forward.

# | Virginia Tech at #17 Virginia Game Time, TV Info, and Open Thread I disagree. Monty was a good interim HC (he held the team together and they played hard). He got 3 wins out of a 0 (1-maybe) roster after Pry was fired (remember we had 19 opt-outs/injuries). He is also a "good" OC. When he has the players to run his system. The problem was Pry hired him too late (thanks Bowen for the F on the way out) to get roster for where he needed.
I've been saying this for the last couple of years.
"did I say head to head is the most important factor?...er...I meant, meaningless!"
I don't know about you, but it is still going to be a nightmare watching two, longtime cupcake ACC programs in the conference championship game. It's going to be a complete bastardization of the word "champion" for the ACC this year.
Shit comes in all sorts of shapes, consistencies, and smells. If I'm going to watch our QB take a shit for 3 years, I might like to experience a different variety of shit here and there to at least utilize some different candles or something to try to cover it up better.
According to the laws of Virginia Tech QBs, if LSU had poached Kyrone, he would have turned into Joe Burrow, Part II, and saved Brian Kelley's job.
The rules are "what does daddy SEC need from us today?" and adjust talking points accordingly

Welcome back good buddy!
Im almost certain that's what it is. The guy has a good arm when he's got a nice clean pocket but even the thought of pressure and his footwork is atrocious. Gets happy feet and throws off balanced and make bad decisions. Disaster combination when you add in this OL and Monty only believing in slow developing vertical passes and WRs that could get separation
The good news is that offensively, it can only get better from here. And I'm really not exaggerating about that
This is with 11:33 to go in the game ... the searchable database for this dates back to 1987.So if you think this is one of the worst offensive performances you've ever seen from a VT offense ... it is. pic.twitter.com/d3JUo1lgWX— Will Stewart (@WillStewartTSL) November 30, 2025
Drones starts accounts for 2 of the 5 worst offensive performances in Virginia Tech football history, or at least the last 40 years. Just awful football all around
Drones actually rolled out of the pocket when the pocket instantly collapsed and 2 defenders are chasing him across the field instead of freezing up and then throwing the ball into the ground as he is hit. One is a a down that you don't get the ball back, turnover on downs, and one is a down where you would get the ball back, just a turnover.
This year's OL didn't know what pass protection is and there was never any attempt to be able to give any QB time to look down field. Drones was the best option in the run game this year at QB, just not sure why we didn't utilize our strength as an offense more often in games.
Pop wasn't going to superman us to victory and we may have got him injured behind that OL. What does Pop do better than Drones consistently?
Also shout out to Bo Bassett last night. He beat Darion Caldwell (2009 Ncaa champion and former bellator mma champion) at Real America Freestyle event number three last night by Pinfall in the first period
There are no rules. It's just made up every time to make the most money. Things like precedent and longevity have no value
Committee ignores precedent if it doesn't fit ESECPN's dream narrative
The scoring streak
Which only extends beyond 2014 thanks to a Mark Leal touchdown.
If you leave our FSU for not having a QB you have to leave out Ole Miss for not having a coaching staff
Maybe he's a driving range guy, hits it long and straight when there is no pressure then slices it to the next fairway the moment he steps onto a tee box and there are actual consequences.
The right choice. At this rate, he'll end up choosing like Blue Mountain State
