[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 300872, member: 2299"] VT prepared for facing us with Thomas. It wasn't until gameday that it was known that Jordan would be the starter. And imo that was a big reason for the success in the first half. What worries me about that game is once VT adjusted we didn't have much success in the second half. We hit a homerun with Marshall, but he is no longer here, and Mills hasn't shown anywhere near the big play ability. The only other sustained drive still didn't look that good and resulted in only a FG. People also tend to gloss over the fact that we scored 10 points of drives starting on VT's side of the field. The offense also turned the ball over setting up a short VT TD. IMO the VT game was most on our defense that had allowed just 7 points halfway into the 4th, and even that was off the turnover. Next biggest factor was VT not having prepared for the different look. I really don't understand the "legitimate two headed monster" inside thing. Jordan is a more physical runner than Thomas, but it's not like he's Tebow or even Nesbitt on the interior. I think people see the comparison to Thomas and jump too far into the other direction. IMO MJ is closer to Washington as a runner than he is Nesbitt. My worry for next year offensively is without Thomas and Marshall, and with Jordan's relative inexperience in game time, we will be very much a pound it up the middle team with less explosive plays. Unfortunately where people see consistency I see lots of medium to long drives ending in FGAs. And relying on FGs will likely cost us a couple games next year even if things go well. [/QUOTE]
