IMO VT will play us like they always play us. Take away dive and pitch and hit QB as much as they can, looking for fumbles, wear down, and errors/bad pitches. If we have no answer for it again they'll also blitz and seek to create an early turnover so we have to play from behind. Will be...

Let's see....sky high VT dismantles OSU at horseshoe. Emotionally letdown VT falls in close game to decent ECU squad at home. Will be interesting to see what Vegas thinks. I think VT is going to come out sky high. The question is how will GT come out? Could be one of two ways. Either they...

I thought our defense was gassed. I will say that someone was saying GSU had a ton of holding near the point of attack that wasn't called. When I heard that I just though man what a lame excuse. I Haven't had time to rewatch the game but I did watch a couple of highlights. On GSU's TD to tie...

Offense also affects field position dramatically Yeah it's hard to go on 75 yd drive and score. But if you can pick up 3 first downs and punt/pin 'em in their own end you flip the field and your offense has made it much easier for the defense to get a stop; The playbook gets a lot thinner when...

Agree we haven't been called for many in the past few years. However there is a good chance we will have at least one called on us vs VT. Beamer understands we try to limit possessions. Since his offense is also typically ball control/high TOP-oriented he knows each possession for each team in...

It's early but UVA looks a lot better this season. Main thing we need to do now is get better this week and play cosistently well vs Ga So.

If we are going to beat VT we are going to need to get a lot better between now and then. I agree we are better blocking the edge then we were last year. However we are worse at pass pro and they ate us up on that last year. The difference for VT this year is they have an offense. They can run...

I told folks before the season pass pro was going to be the issue with the passing game. We replaced a lot of our line and that never portends well for pass pro.

I dont really see a trend. Not a lot of data points either. Losing 13 last year could easily just be normal variability. Cant say either way. My money is on more of 4 to 7 for next year.

Yeah Boom Boom, IIRC the word was the players too felt like SD should be playing BB as well. Johnson said he'd been thinking about it "for awhile now". The other day I was thinking about why SD stayed at AB for so long when it seemed clear (to me and many others) he is a more natural BB. What I...

I agree with Techster that pass pro is the single largest determinant for efficacy in the passing game. That said of course Boomergump is correct in that if we are running the triple really well it will open up the play action game considerably. However Justin will either have to have time or...

To me the most encouraging thing has been the A back position. Two things seem to be happening: 1. Experience is showing out. Has always seemed like it takes a long time for a player to earn PT at A back no matter how talented he is. Orwin couldn't do it as a freshman despite not redshirting...

The Flaws: DE - Two new starters including a true freshman, lack of depth DT- Lack of experienced depth and bodies in general The power teams on our schedule will pound the ball and play a game of attrition to wear out our defense which is short-handed on the DL. No proven pass rush/pass...

Hurry up could screw with VT's gameplan some by forcing them to play base. Wonder if we'll run it some.

Not surprising pass protection is an issue with as many OL as we're replacing & struggles for BB's in protection. What is concerning is that our D--which is supposed to struggle rushing the passer this year--was apparently getting all kinds of pressure. On the bright side maybe they're better...

Well it's interesting. It seems like we've had some OL play really well but others not. Bedford, Finch, Uzzi, Mason, & the big tackle who had to take a medical have all been really good for us. Other players have struggled. Seems like coaching is one aspect and recruiting is another...

I agree that we have a good looking group of receiving A backs to go with a pretty solid group of receivers. It's good to have that kind of supporting cast for a first year starter. At the same time I'm not going to get too excited about our passing game because we have a lot of new faces on...

It ain't Kallon who is running out of time. It's GT who is running out of DL players! And that means GT needs the light to come on for Kallon ASAP. Is it fair? Not really. Dude's from England and only ever played one season of football. So he's a MAJOR project. Consider this: A guy on my...

Lacking a deep DL rotation the offense will need to dominate TOP. We will be worn down on D some this year by big 4 type opponents who usually themselves have decent defenses.

B backs have to make pre snap reads on where tbe meshpoint is just like the QB. They also have blocking duties that are important. Conners is a vet who will get these things right. IMO will be hard for Donovan or Leggett to be as effective as Conners this year. Conners isn't the sexy choice as...
