Definitely not an Alabama-ish team

Not lining up under center from the 1 worked!!

Fire Whit.

Wow, just wow! I need (another) drink!

Now can the defense just hold on for 19 seconds

UNC is just going to air it the f&ck out

This is what nightmares are made of.

ha

"Vick, dashing back . . . here he comes again . . . Electrifying . . . and have you ever seen anything like this?"

What even is this game

Holy shit we actually scored! Finally. Now please just don't screw this up

Where has this intensity been all game. I mean. FFS!

WOOOOOOOO

Annnd LOLUVA wins because of a personal foul penalty on Miami....

Is coronavirus over yet?

IM SO NERVOUS

So much heart from this team to come back.

Free Hugh

Dalton Keene is my spirit animal.

It's good to see the guys so alive and happy on the sideline.

Sacksburg south!

Told you guys. You take this too seriously. Drink more. For your health.

Flashes of Matt Ryan...

Let's Go...

Turning point for the season.

Touchdown Tech!!!

That one was for momma

Free Hugh

Suck it Fedora!

“Careful Man, There's a Beverage Here”

Laaser just called it Blacksburg South!

Woo-goo! Let's oarty like we had it o the bag the whole time :)

We put the K in Kwality

Fuente just showed Bud how to tackle there

They ask you how you are and you just have to say that you're fine when you're not really fine.

That was the worse win ever. 1-0 it is.

"Vick, dashing back . . . here he comes again . . . Electrifying . . . and have you ever seen anything like this?"

I just told my wife "that was the most unsatisfying win ever". ...she looked at me the way you all are right now.

We put the K in Kwality

Haha. Same here. My wife walked by seeing me with my head in my hands, turned and started to walk off thinking we lost and she knew to stay clear. I had to call her back to say we won. Man, that was stressful. Never have I seen so many big plays surrendered and still somehow win this thing. 1-0 it is.

Yaaaaaaaaaas Gaines!!!!

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

Can I see that intensity for the other 55 minutes, please?

Wow....this sucked but we won

Willis is so HIGH RISK, HIGH REWARD

It worked! I used reverse psychology!

Willis just had a season defining drive... his run on 4th and 8 was amazing!

He had a rough night before but that was clutch!!!

Defense somehow kept us in it...lots of bad tackles but huge goal line stands

Ugly ugly game!!!

Go Hokies!!!

He's Still Open!!!

FAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Friends don't let friends go to LOLUVA

I love you all, Fam!

SCHokie

Did Fuente tackle Foster?!

Touchdown Tech!!!

Might rival the Beamer 0-0 arms in the air

Let's Go...

Maybe tripped over him?

“Careful Man, There's a Beverage Here”

Not good for one's health.

“Careful Man, There's a Beverage Here”

Worst win in Tech history.

Let's Go...

Russell Athletic Bowl was worse

Good thing for A. J. Hughes. That's what I choose to remember about that one.

Now if UVA can hang on!! *barf*

Yes... Yes he did

Fuente tackles Foster! Maybe he should teach our D how to do that!

ugly wins are still wins!!! FAM!!!

Did fuente just assault foster? Is there a wwe post victory moment coming soon?

BROTHERS DON'T SHAKE HANDS!! BROTHERS GOTTA HUG!!!

Fedora looks like he's ready to blow a line off a hookers butt

We weren't the team to fumble on the 1 yard line this game fam!!!!

"For those who have passed, for those to come, reach for excellence."

Despite Cornelson's best efforts to make us lose this game, Willis put together a hell of a drive to win this game. Hats off to him for playing tough & sticking it out. Whew. That was not a fun game to watch but damn we pulled it out. This team is going to give us all liver failure this season lol

Seriously....whichever QB is in the game needs to do the exact opposite of what Cornelson calls......all the plays Willis made were his own reads....if he didnt decide to tuck and run as much as he did, we'd be on the opposite end of this spectrum. There's no doubt, Cornelson is terrible, his play calling in big situations is terrible (besides the Keene TD), and I seriously hope we look at replacing him. However, he is Fuentes boy so unfortunately i dont think it will happen.

Edit ...meant for above but still applies...I cannot understand some of the play calls tonight...

He's Still Open!!!

Ask me no questions, and I'll tell you no lies

Ugliest, luckiest Tech win I've ever seen. I'll take it.

Amateur superstar and idiot extraordinaire.

Miami just lost !

LOLUVA "fan" stormed the field like the beat an FCS team.

We put the K in Kwality

That puts VT in first place on the Coastal as improbable and shaky as that might be.

WVU lost, UVA won.
I'm not sure we deserve that win, but I will take it!
Now maybe Willis turns a corner and goes on a tear!

SCHokie

I still think with more competent play calling the offense would be fine, but I'm still worried about the defense.

We seriously need to work on tackling. And coverage. And pressuring the quarterback

"I just like the way we're improving. They're not satisfied, that's the thing. We've got to be hungry." - Bud Foster

I don't get it. They've shown flashes of what they can be, but they're incapable of putting a full game together. R

And blocking. And non-QB running the football.

TLDR; EVERYTHING

On a more serious note, thankful for the bye to work on cleaning this up or at least work on finding ways to hide the mess in the closet.

In other words, we need to defense better.

Summarizing everyones comments "we need to get better everywhere"

Bob: What would ya say ya do here?

Brad: I already told you! I iron out the minutiae so Justin doesn't have to. I have people skills dammit! What the hell is wrong with you people?

This fucking game!!!

If you play it, they will win.

Outside of the win, I have hated this game with the energy of a thousand suns.

We didn't deserve the win but fuck fedora ya ass hat

Directions from Blacksburg to whoville, go north till you smell it then go east until you step in it

Worst-looking win since the Delaware shutout 27-0, but I'll take it!

Oh my Gawd!!!! That was FUGLY but we got the W. I swear football is going to kill me!

Well that Willis scramble on 4th was all-world. Still don't love him but definitely didn't want to see him taken out at the end. Let's get QP more plays moving forward

Willis definitely has some gamer in him. This gritty win will only help us down the road

This was the first game on my Apple TV. I've finally cut the cord.

Fuente very frustrated after the game about not taking what they gave us on offense, and failing to execute simple stuff.

Gave QP a shutout and alluded to using him in short yardage.

Another shout out to Kumah and Savoy on their performances.

Also from CJF: "I got news for ya, its gonna be like this every week" so buckle up and grab the bourbon

Kentucky doesn't have enough bourbon for this football season!

There is not enough alcohol in the world for this football season.....

That game was hot garbage saved by some kids with real heart.

Bahahahah.... just read this entire thread. It was very exciting because I already knew the outcome but there is some comedy gold in these posts. PS. for those suggesting this was the worst win ever, I propose Temple 2003 as a counter.
