I think you are onto something here. I was looking at our advanced stats (I know, stats again) and noticed we rank 110th in starting field position. That means our offense is not on a level playing field due to having to sustain longer drives to score. This is likely influencing our...

I made some relevant comments about Zack in the VT post-game thread. We are also down several TE's, which has more than a slight impact in Buster's offense.

Add - 3. Our starting RB has been injured, ypc drops, makes our run blocking look worse.

Agree. Makes me wonder if Key was willing to roll the dice on Zack getting more injuries because he thought there was a good chance of getting King back for VT.

To expand on this…football is a physical game and injuries are part of it. That said, we are more than a little banged up at many key positions. Not making excuses, just a reality check. The team you saw on the field Saturday was comprised mostly of players who are nowhere near 100%, with some...

Height's grade of 90.2 is the highest I recall seeing for any player all season. He had a great game.

Besides Pyron having a rough day, which other backups disappointed? Jamal averaged 2.6 ypc, Carrie 4.1. Philo did not disappoint considering the game situation he was put in. Canion came in and had a couple of nice catches. TE performance was mixed, they had some catches but missed some...

This. Many of our players who aren't "banged up" are true freshmen, especially on offense (QB, RB, TE). I see good potential when they're on the field, but expecting them to play at the level of experienced upperclassmen is foolish. Not to mention that it can limit our play-calling. It's...

Refreshing to see a post-game post that isn't just a bunch of hot takes.

We’ve reached the point in the year where the quality of a team’s backup quarterback can make or break their season. Mizzou and TAMU demonstrating opposite ends of that spectrum.

To reinforce your point and to counter @Dottie1145's some more, FEI ranked VT's offense #39 going into the game. That's decent and significantly above average in FBS. Their ranking will probably drop some due to the performance of our defense today. How anyone could have watched the game and...

He is listed as an "Associate Head Coach for Special Teams/Cornerbacks". "Associate" is generally a lesser title than "Assistant" in the corporate world. It may have been added as justification for his salary. Tim Salem already had a role with Special Teams, so a logical choice to coach...

Many of McCord's throws looked like risky, or just bad, decisions given the coverage his receivers were getting last night. Perhaps he wasn't accustomed to the type of defense Pitt was fielding. Pitt's pass rush was definitely a factor, but even when he had time to throw, he was usually...

From the SI article above, as well as CBK's presser: "Kyle has been practicing you know still limited in practice you know we'll see where he's at on Saturday, it'll probably be a truly a pregame (decision)- (we'll) see what he's able to go out and do and what not but you know the other guys are...

I missed that - thanks for pointing that out.

Agree with your perception. And when you have a variety of issues cropping up within a specific group, you can try examining the common denominator.

Some useful info on injuries in this report, but a huge misquote on Haynes King's status - the article says "...if we were to play right now, it'd be enough." What I heard in the presser was, "...if we were to play right now, it'd be a no."

Clearly a strawman, unless I missed something earlier in the thread.

I think @GTHomer was simply providing additional info from the article. Agree that it's likely a position that was needed at the GTAA to adapt to the current and future environment for college sports.

MBS's acoustics are heavily influenced by the choice to have a retractable roof. Covered stadia naturally have more sound reflections (echo) than open ones like BDS. When the cover is also a hard surface like the steel that is required for MBS's mechanical oculus, the reflections are even...
