swva_havok_fan Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 I think Auburn takes down the Huskies. I can also see LSU (hopefully) taking down the 'Canes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That game is a total toss up for me, I think it’s much more important for Washington than it is Auburn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cavalieratmosphere Posted September 1, 2018 Report Share Posted September 1, 2018 Do you think UVA will hover around .500 by season's end (give or take: i.e. 5-7 to 7-5)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do actually, I think they will upset at least one of the teams they are supposed to lose to. I think 7-5 is attainable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much depends on how we do in the coinflip games. Need to take advantage of a wounded Indiana team next week. Need to beat an upstart Ohio team at home (who is also without their starting RB). If we do that, we’ll end up 7-5 or 6-6. If we don’t, I’d guess 5-7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deleted Account Posted September 4, 2018 Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 Some predictions work better than others, LOL. I’ve seldom seen a team less prepared to take the field than FSU last night. Just a comedy of mental errors, so much that I really can’t tell just how good VT is because FSU couldn’t stop gift-wrapping things for VT. Despite the significant amount of poor play, FSU still gashed the VT defense, and VT still just put up 24 points, 7 of which came with the outcome decided. Great start to the season by VT, but I’m not sure if I learned anything other than VT won’t beat itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Account Deleted Posted September 4, 2018 Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 I wouldn't say FSU "gashed VT's defense", especially in the running game. FSU finished with 94 yards on 28 carries with 85 coming on one play. The other 27 carries resulted in 9 yards. With that said, VT should have had several more scores. VT made its fair share of mental mistakes resulting in points being taken off the board. As an unbiased observer married into a Hokie family, I'm not sold on Jackson as a quality QB either. He is inaccurate and makes bad decisions with the football at times. He made several bad decisions last night but FSU was ill-prepared to take advantage of them. A better prepared opponent would have capitalized on those mistakes. I agree that FSU wasn't prepared for this game but for anyone who watched Oregon last season, that seems to be a common theme for Taggert. I questioned FSU choice in replacement for Jimbo when they announced Taggert. I question it more-so now!

Shouldn’t have said “gashed”, the offensive production was virtually even. Offenses strive for 1 point for every 10 yards. FSU couldn’t break 1 point per 100.

Account Deleted Posted September 5, 2018 Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 I understand the point you were making. FSU’s offense was downright offensive! I think VT may be a shade better than most expected. The question is, can the offense be a more consistent than it has been for the past two seasons? It didn’t look that way a lot of the night Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be more surprised if VT ends up going to a bowl game then I will if they don't. Hate to say that but this years team is too inconsistent.
