Hacker 82 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 I have to say that the look on the face of the girl next to me was great. It was part shock, part joy and part wonder. It is a moment like that which is why I love college football. It was incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMan 3,569 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 whoever wins, it will be by one point. I'm gonna say Tech wins because of home field.  WOW! Got any tips for today's games??? :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMan 3,569 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 VT fans are booing. Â Incorrect. I thought I was hearing the same thing at the game but then realized that it wasn't VT fans "boo"ing, it was the nearly 10,000 Nebraska fans yelling "Suh"...big #93, Ndamukong Suh, their All-American DL who was in the VT backfield swatting TT's passes like flies all day long.

wvuraiders 10 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 was good enough to play two minutes of the game and win...I really do mean that as a compliment...if only we could combine defense and offenses...it would be an incredible team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegendatLegion 109 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 I love we are trying to throw a little bit, but run the darn ball. That's the strength, and VT threw on first down all day long in the 2nd and 3rd quarters. Â Williams had 100yds in the first half. I'll take a win though. Â I wish that i knew if everyone has a good D or if our O is sooo bad we make them look great. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMan 3,569 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 I wish that i knew if everyone has a good D or if our O is sooo bad we make them look great. :) Â Nebraska had played two Sunbelt teams coming into the VT game...Florida Atlantic rolled up 358 yards of offense but only scored 3 points...Arkansas St. had 274 yards and scored 9 points. VT amassed a whopping 278 yards, 88 of which came on the last drive (81 on one play)...up to that point, VT had less than 200 total yards for the game. Â Having given you the numbers, I'll let you figure it out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JJBrickface Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 I still think Tyrod Taylor is playing the wrong position. Or Beamer is not utilizing him the way he should be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhs7695 185 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 I'm convinced that if you put Tom Brady and the rest of the starting eleven of the New England Patriots to run the VT offensive scheme, they could do no better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I disagree, their execution is horrible on offense. Even on the game winning td throw, Taylor got really lucky. His pass was behind the receiver and the DB should have deflected it but he completely missed it. Taylor is not a pocket QB and he never will be.

The only ACC team left for Miami that has a favorable chance at beating them would be UNC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mountainman74 12 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 I agree, If they dont design plays for Taylor, like they did Vick, and utilize him that way, it will be a total waiste.

Â My opinion...and you know what they say about opinions, is that they are trying to keep him healthy by being a pocket passer, because has been prone to injuries before and VT does not have an experienced QB to back him up and with the struggles that VT is having right now on offense cannot afford to lose TT...Not say it's right or wrong...That is Beamers decision to make, but I think that is what VT is trying to do.

GMan 3,569 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 I'm not "in the know" but I do know that Frank Beamer is the Head Coach and it is his ultimate decision to decide how he is going to use his quarterback. Â Same coach tried to turn Glennon, a proto-typical pocket passer, into a mobile, option-type QB. That is one reason so many fans got down on Glennon but it wasn't his fault, he was only doing what his coach told him to do. Â You are right, it is Beamer's ultimate decision but unfortunately we are stuck with BS and MO'C...they are "his boys"...he will protect them to the end...which BTW, can't come soon enough for those two meatheads...

Â But not allowing him to run is going to get him killed too...he's a sitting duck staying in the pocket. And to be honest, TT's back up is a very mobile QB who has more "pocket poise" as a R-FR than TT has as a JR...TT is not comfortable staying in the pocket, he gets tentative when he has too and that's where he makes mistakes.

Â I agree that one can tell that he's not comfortable in the pocket...At times he looks like he wants to take off and run but hesitates and buy doing this takes him out of his natural element which in turn hurts VT's offensive production. Granted that the backup has more "pocket poise" than TT, going into conference play the backup still has not had a lot of playing time this year other than mop up duty. I think Beamer should let TT do what he does best and live with with the consequences because it really hurts TT and VT as a whole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Â And as I said, the reason he is staying in the pocket is because the dumbass QB coach is trying to turn him into a pocket passer...which, obviously to everyone who has seen him play, he isn't. Â VT's coaches are some of the worst at not utilizing their players' strengths. They do it with their running backs too! They run the bruisers to the outside and their speedsters up the middle.

Bluefield_Rules 46 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 (edited) My favorite play call was the first offensive play of the game for VT. Following Roberts returning the opening kickoff 70+ yards he was obviously winded. What does Stinespring do? He calls a reverse for Roberts that goes absolutely nowhere. Brilliant I tell you, brilliant. Edited September 21, 2009 by Bluefield_Rules Too good of a post to let a spelling error mix people up...
