LegendatLegion 109 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 The Dookies are really stacking the box and daring the offensive genius that is Stinespring to call pass plays. Duke ran right down the field on the first possession with Thaddeus Lewis going 5 for 5 and hitting Brandon King for a 48yd td to take a 7-0 lead. Hokies have come back with 10 straight points. Gonna be tough sledding for Ryan Williams and company today, they have sold out for the run stop. The defense has risen to the occasion the last two posessions with 2 three and outs. Hokies football at their own 28/ after the 6th penalty of the half (yet another block in the back) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegendatLegion 109 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 The Hokies spread 4 receivers wide and ran up the middle with Oglesby getting runs of 4 and 17yds respectively. Another good drive for the Hokies ending with a T. Taylor 28yd TD pass to Boykin who wrestled it away from a Duke defender. After a long review the play stands. Cutcliffe is on the field pointing at the video board and both coaches have had a lot to say to the officials. T. Taylor is 11-15 for 173 yards and 2 td's. Hokies lead 17-7 with 6:14 to go before the half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegendatLegion 109 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 3:34 to go before the half and the Devils have driven to the VT 25 yard line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegendatLegion 109 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 Duke has run the ball a lot on this drive, they run the no huddle which doesn't allow the Hokies to sub. They have first down at the 19yd line with 2:15 to go. QB draw to the 8yd line, fumbled but Duke recovered at the 11yd line. Nice strip by Cody Grimm (the kid is everywhere). Run across the 10 near a first down. 1:15 to go. 3rd down and a foot to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegendatLegion 109 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 Barquell Rivers/Gibson make the stop back at the 11 yd line for a 2yd loss. brings up 4th down at the 11 yd line and Duke takes a TO with 11 secs left in the half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegendatLegion 109 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 It is good and the score is now 17-10 with 7 seconds to go. The Devils drove from their 10 yd line to the Hokie 11 using most of the 6:34 left on the clock. T.Lewis is 7-10 for 105 yds and a TD at the half T.Taylor is 11-15 for 173yds and 2td's Duke has 147 total yards Hokies have 218 total yards VT has 30 total plays and a time of posession of 14:12 Duke has 27 plays and a time of posession of 15:41 VT has 7 penalties for 55yds and Duke 3-21yds neither team has a turnover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMan 3,569 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 Watching the game on ESPN360...had tickets but didn't go. Definitely looks like VT is having a bit of a "let down" after the last two weeks...not much energy or enthusiasm on the field right now. Mental mistakes (read: penalties) are killing them. Duke is playing very good and definitely doing what they wanted to do coming in...using the clock well and utilizing the TE and RB on pass plays. I really expect the Hokies to wake up in the second half and take control of the game. If they don't, it could be Temple '98 all over again... GO HOKIES!!!

GMan 3,569 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 1st - 5 yard loss 2nd - IP penalty 2nd - 9 yard completion 3rd - 74 yard pass to the 8 Blown coverages have led to two big plays for Duke today. At least they held them to a FG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vthokies4life 10 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 This is the most confident I've seen Tyrod throwing the ball. Great throw to Boykin to convert a 3rd and 34. Need some points here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hokies4Ever 23 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 Hopefully the offense will continue to throw the ball to scoot the defense back so the running game can get going. We need this Touchdown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LegendatLegion 109 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 I love that we can pass a bit now, just don't try and become "air Hokie". I realize the defense sometimes dictates what you can do. I new they were sending the house...... LOL what a weird day.........UVA and MAryland winning and Duke giving the Hokies all we want.

LegendatLegion 109 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 Bama just tore open a really close game. It was 7-6 Bama, and they scored on a long drive before the half to make it 14-6 with 30secs left. UK ran the ball and the Bama LB drilled him, it popped out into Bama hands who ran it in for a TD, now its 21-6 in a much closer game than the score.
