Week 4 Other Games Thread

Only one FBS game on Thursday night, South Alabama at App State.

Former Hokie Jack Hollifield is the starting center for App State. South Alabama's running game has been really impressive so far.

App State is getting walked

Can't believe South Alabama allowed the hail Mary there

I'm glad we don't play South Alabama.

Is coronavirus over yet?

Can we hire their O Coord? Asking for a friend....

Or their whole OL itself? /s ....sorta

From the 2018 VT-uva game-"This is when LEGENDS are made!"

That forward progress call was BULLSHIT

App St has their own Parker Clements...right guard consistently whiffing on stunt rush

I'll eat crow if the time comes, but until then... nobody is scared of Kyle McCord

Everyone on social media was poo pooing the two Pac 12 teams yet here they both are putting teams down on the road. Stanford getting the win as time expires in whatever the Orange dome is called now. Hopefully Cal keeps it up and blasts F$U this weekend.

I find myself rooting for the new kids also.

Stanford offered a pretty clear game plan to keep him in check (pressure), so that's nice.

I'm still figuring this out.

My gosh, is Illinois actually going to be good this year? So used to seeing them as a low-medium team.

they'll win 9 games. no more. no less.

edit: I'm mostly just making a jab at Brett's tenure at Nebraska, specifically when he was let go. Fan base interactions aside, they were a perpetual 9-3 team. Which, yeah, ... fuck would be nice these days (basically Penn State sans controversy)

I'd take that.

Deposit whiskey, receive wisdom.

That would be their best season in 14 years, and hell...I'd love for VT to win 9 games this year too.

21st century QBs Undefeated vs UVA:
MV7, MV5, LT3, Grant Wells, Braxton Burmeister, Ryan Willis, Josh Jackson, Jerod Evans, Michael Brewer, Tyrod Taylor, Sean Glennon, and Grant Noel. That's right, UVA. You couldn't beat Grant Noel.

Double blast from the past last night:

Alec Bryant makes a big sack for Illinois on Nebraska's last possession of the game

DJ Harvey makes an interception for San Jose St to send the game into double OT

Outside it's night time, but inside it's LeDay

I'm getting the impression State isn't as good as advertised this year

28-0 in the first quarter. Oof

35-7 looks like NCSt finally woke up. They look alright. Clemson was flawless early and NCSt make some critical mistakes. No way they catch up but my takeaway here is that Clemson isn't as bad as everyone assumed after getting pummeled by UGA

Of course the game before ours has an hour FIRST QUARTER!

When JMU's offense is more physical and more creative than VT's......

Is coronavirus over yet?

Somebody please tell Whitt not to schedule the dukes. We don't need any more losses on our schedules

What year is their offensive staff on? First year? Oh that's possible???

I get that you're being facetious, but Chesney inherited a quality roster with a winning culture.

I am throughly enjoying this JMU UNC game.

I saw it at 11-0 and laughed. Then it was 14-11 UNC and I was like oh well it was fun while it lasted.

Turns out its still lasting. Might need to see a doctor in a few hours

JMU has 400 yds in the first half.

Wonder what uncheat is paying jmu for this ass whooping?

Is JMU gonna hang 100 on UNC?

53-21 JMU at halftime

The state of North Carolina might collectively have the worst football in the country

"When I was growing up, Virginia Tech was a school that was kicking ass and taking names, and it's time we get back to that" - James Franklin

Definitely the least collective ROI, in any case.

App St got smoked by Georgia State
Charlotte got smoked by Indiana
NC State got annihilated by Clemson
UNC got spanked by JMU

And the Panthers exist

I'm not sure theres a more concentrated collection of shit in the country

Duke struggling with MTSU.
ECU likely going to get smoked by Bibberty
Wake has a bye or would add to the pile.

Don't forget Campbell losing to Stony Brook 🫠

Yes,that's the Hokie Bird riding a camel. Why'd you ask?

JMU hitting the over by themselves....in the first half.

(add if applicable) /s

Would the mother of UNC football please come pick up your kids. They are drunk and need to go home.

Wish we could've played the tarholes this year

Mack gonna get fired. Which is a shame, because then they might hire a real coach.

Go Hokies!

The Dukes are outright juking UNC.

Nice to see VT's future head coach off to a great start at JMU! /s

Me today:

Take my daughter to swim practice.
Go exercise while she is there.
Go to lunch with a couple relatives in town.
Get back home and turn on ACC network as the Tech game will be coming on.
Holy shit! What the heck happened with UNC?!?

Recovering scientist working in business consulting

What the heck is happening... JMU may need to get to 75 to win this thing with the way UNC came out in the 2nd half

Turns out nobody brought a defense. Well, except that one JMU player who knows how to jump routes.

State and UNC are having a very tight battle in who will give up more points today

59 to 60 going into the 4th quarter

LOLuva is handling business against Coastal Carolina. Damn it.

A decade on TKP and it's been time well spent.

I think I'd rather hang out in this thread than in the game thread at the moment

My Cyclones are looking good.

Came here for the same reason. Put
USC Michigan game on.

what's up guys

Chllin. Drinkin. What's up with you

Just got back from grocery shopping. Turned on the game and it looks like I made the right decision to log off.

Why is LSU's stadium almost empty on one side? Is that just a matter of nobody wanting to sit in the sun?

And the other half looks to only be 75% capacity. Is this just not a big game?

Wondering how many can get out of their house after the foot of rain earlier this week...

Vandy is giving Mizzou everything they can handle so with mizzou playing BC close that might mean we have a chance in the ACC.

You must have missed today's game

Yup, just looking at the box score we couldn't get out of our way

Mizzou really messed up wearing their alternates today.

Let's go vandy

because they were really damn good last year

They weren't, they didn't beat anyone last year either. They just were good and beat the so so teams.

JMU may have sent Mack Brown back into retirement (rumor at this time but still) 👀

VB born, class of '14

It has been reported that he offered to step down after the game in a conversation with the Athletic Director

Currently hoping traditional ACC power Cal can make me feel a little better about football today by keeping FSU winless

edit: bummer.

Yeah...could not get their running game going which was huge in their three wins

Atleast we haven't put 7 guys on the line of scrimmage for a hail Mary play, yet ... good job baylor
