I think some of yall may be fluffing our success passing at the end of the year. It had a lot of room for improvement, even in the last 5 games of the season.
Well, yeah, one was an ACC team and the other was a wanna be ACC team.MSU tried to do some of the same things VPISU did. They weren't nearly as effective.
If any of those guys read this board you just hurt their feelings. Maybe it was just me but I was looking and expecting a lot more speed overall and more quickness on the D line. I need to stop reading that nonsense. Somewhere along the way Johnson expressed no surprise at what MSU tried and said six other teams now try to play Tech the way VT does. Two words: Bud Foster. It should be fun for a neutral fan to watch Foster and Johnson match moves. Against MSU was like bobbing for apples with a backhoe.Well, yeah, one was an ACC team and the other was a wanna be ACC team.
It's that AB/WR switching that concerns me with all the new starters. I think we have enough veteran guys scattered around the depth charts to help keep things running smoothly, then we have the trump card of Smooov making reads and running wild behind a solid line. I see good things ahead.I think the team is more prepared for the blitzing LB and the blitzing CB.
The ABs do a lot more switching of assignments with WRs than in years past.
That's why having a couple of tune ups before ND is a very good thing. We may be up big and still have our starters in just getting them work fine tuning and getting on the same page.It's that AB/WR switching that concerns me with all the new starters.

You're probably right. And far more gracious than I.And sometimes we need to give credit to the other team's players for making a good play. That's obviously more difficult when they are but sniffers. That I concede.
Let's just say that's more like it.It's hard being gracious to the mutts. As great as the kick and pick were....I might rather have ended that game with a TD instead of the fumble on this drive. Too many idiot mutts think the better team lost due to bad luck. Imbeciles. (How's that for gracious?)
Watched these again. Ever notice, with our offense, how plays that look like we gained nothing end up being 2 or 3 yard gains? Additionally, plays that look like minimal gains end up being 4+. It is almost like an optical illusion sometimes. What is up with that? I guess a lot of it has to do with how conditioned we have become, in today's game of CFB, to see plays developing in the backfield, while, in contrast, we are right on on the LOS hitting things pretty quickly.
I think part of it has to do with the way a lot of teams tried playing us later in the year, where they backed their DTs a full yard off the ball, hoping that would give them space to avoid a cut, diagnose the play, and disrupt JTs reads. In fact that just gave Shaq, Freddie, and Trey room to get a head of steam and knock them back and re-establish a new LOS a couple yards downfield. When the whole line can get a surge like that, we are damn near unstoppable.Watched these again.
