We saw how much point spreads mean last weekend. We need to keep our heads on straight this week.

Plus, on a midline you will often see both the motion AB and play side AB slamming into the hole as blockers.

The B+ is based on the following opinion: Defense brought the A game, Offense brought the B game. VT offense was a D. Their defense about a B-

If I were a VT fan, I would say my team wasn't really "with it" yesterday. It was pretty sloppy from their perspective. Give us credit. We brought our B+ game and they brought their C-.

I'll bet we ran a total of 3 or 4 midlines the whole game. I believe the only keep on a midline got stuffed for a loss. If I am not mistaken the rest of the midlines were give reads. Just trying to go from memory here. Lots of QB follow though.

I think our OL has usually been pretty physical. It has just been a comedy of errors that makes it look like we can't block well. Saturday we looked like a unit, first and foremost. I like our guys pad level. They came out fast and low, causing their good DL trouble. The rookies are quick and...

Today I decided to give the game another look. Usually the VT games provide extra intrigue because of what Bud Foster does to get his kids ready. I probably put in about half the time I usually do, but it was a really fun study. Additional incentive was added because I was real curious to see...

Oddly enough, we really didn't run a lot of midline Saturday. There were a ton of QB follow plays, but not a lot of midline. I am not sure why, because I agree with you.

I am happy for the kids and grateful for the extra practice time. I'll be watching.

I will be the first to admit that most of the TOs we have gotten on defense this year have been gifts, but this game it seemed to me that we forced them. I can only think of 3, although I know there were 4. The initial KO, we punched the ball out, The fumble by Hodges was ripped out by Austin...

Going into the game, I was supremely worried about the matchup problems Bucky Hodges would present our defense, especially considering #1 (forget his name) was on the other side too. It never materialized. If VT goes back over the game and the play calls, I'm sure they will feel that was an...

That move could be called classy, but more than anything it was smart and evidence of good coaching. By putting that knee down, he took away any chance VT had, however slight, to win the game. If he scores there, it puts the ball back in VT's hands. As long as they have the ball, they have a...

We had 250 rushing yards right up the gut today against a VT defense that has given us fits. We should all have expected it to be somewhat ugly. Foster can take you out of what you want to do. We had some subtle wrinkles for them today. I give CPJ the thumbs up over BF in this one. Running on...

VT OL is their weakest unit. Still though, a good day for our D.

For a few years now you could see that Bud Foster had a set of keys he would read on defense, one of which was going with our pulling guards regardless of the direction of the play. Well, CPJ had a trick up his sleeve today, running behind the back side of his pulling guards. Priceless. The game...

Thanks and I second the notion. To all those who have put their hands on the rope, we owe a debt of gratitude.

I hope JT plays, but I have a lot of trust in MJ. He is ready.

Once again, this game is about us. Right now I am not sure if the staff has lost the players or not. Body language by the defense the last couple games has been beyond bad, indicating an extreme level of frustration and lack of confidence. If the staff has not lost the players and it has been a...

Oh brother.

We can use him. He was a good player for us at that position.
