Well, he hasn't played a lot of varsity QB and it shows in little things. The mesh is not as smooth as it could be and he misses reads on the edge sometimes. That said, Marshall is unlike any other quarterback in the Johnson era. Not the passer like Vlad, Not the "smoove" ball handler of JT...

\ Stream of consciousness with little real insight. Feel free to scroll down to other posts. A game with a different and strange feel to it. Once again, we were not efficient on offense in spite of over 400 yards rushing. It's funny, but in spite of that at no time did I think we were in...

Our linemen are NOT dirty, are not coached to play dirty. They are different. Most teams "lean" into defensive players our linemen put them on the deck. Is it the current accepted practice? No, but it is well within the rules to come off the ball and hit people low with the intent of...

Yes he did. I thought that conditioning was the big (no pun intended) issue with him but if he can play 60 or 70 snaps it will be great. Nonetheless, there is no margin for error on the offensive line. It would appear we are down to 5 starters and one or two proven reserves. Playing...

I knew he played a lot but 70 snaps! That is great.

Shamire will have to play way more snaps than he has in the past. Looks like your time in the limelight big man. This is what a football player lives for. Carpe Diem

Well, it was significant. It did lead to a UT touchdown but football is the ultimate team sport. It's just the way it is. JJ feels as bad about that fumble as anyone but losses very seldom come down to just one or two plays. You have special teams breakdowns with two missed field goals, the...

Kam Chancellor? (spelling?) A very good player for the Hokies who said some things that Coach Foster probably wishes he had not said. Yep. He was and is the very definition of a strong safety: big, strong, fast. But on that night in 2009 we abused him like a rented mule.

Alright wisenheimer, that was not meant to be a commentary on our blocking scheme besides I am not that clever. I leave that to you and the young guns on this board to bring a smile to my face.

Show off. Yes, it has been three years. Much too long. My point in answering your question was that college football is unpredictable but yes, this is a team on the ropes that probably cannot pull the upset but we won't know until "Toe meets leather" Saturday.

Well, there is the logic that they have beaten us two years in a row. Other than that and the idea that UNC might come out and play with their hair on fire because their backs are against the wall. This is their season. If they want to salvage anything from 2017 it has to start this week...

They haven't stopped anybody in years but with Fedora and the offensive skill players they have had all they needed was a couple of stops and they were off to the races. Funny, this is the school that produced great linebackers like hot cakes year after year and linemen that were productive as...

I think we will either roll early and kill them or turn the ball over early and it ends up being a last possession kind of deal. This (UNC) is a team that is possibly on the brink of going down the tubes for this year. Injuries, emotional loss to bitter instate rival, losing record...

Let me tell you, nothing absolutely nothing, will kill your business like poor customer service. I tell my wife, she tells her church circle, who tell their friends and before you can say "Papa John" half of Albany knows that I got a pizza that had the wrong toppings. GTAA better get this...

Absolutely. One reason why I am excited for this year and next is the recruiting and development of offensive linemen that represent a significant improvement over our lines in the past. We can be dominated up front but it will occur much less often and you will seldom, if ever, see a...

Yep. This is pretty much SOP for Coach Johnson. Once he sees who is making the tackles, he decides how to attack the defense and what counter moves the defensive coordinator might make. With some of them like VT's Coach Foster it is quite the chess match with others they are content to play...

Not me. That's the people who want to play USCw, Notre Dame, Auburn, Tennessee, etc. for out of conference games. No sir, I am fine with Tulane, Mercer, Jax State, people like that plus UGA.

There you go Boomer trying to be a spoil sport. Let us have some fun. It's harmless. I mean players don't read the misguided musings of middle aged guys like us. Please tell me they don't. Do they?

Improved offensive line play with particularly fine play from Shaq Mason, Will, Parker, Shamire and the centers on the inside probably accounts for this. It may be that teams began to emphasize taking away the pitch more. Don't really know but the dive and its derivatives are really tough on...
