[QUOTE="CuseJacket, post: 83449, member: 274"] For what it's worth I re-watched the GT/VT this weekend. I can't offer any insight that Boomer hasn't already offered. It's clear to me we need to get a lot better, not just incrementally better, on D to entertain the idea that we just need to show up to win any game here on out. Here's what I can confirm - VT is really bad on offense. As in, alarmingly bad compared to what we're going to see the next two weeks (I watched Miami/Duke last night too). VT's penalties, poor execution, and questionable playcalling by VT's OC Loeffler bailed us out at opportune times. Give credit to GT's D for forcing three turnovers, but those alone wouldn't have been enough without VT's self-inflicted ineptitude. Remember the Patrick Nix school of thought that drove many GT fans crazy? 2nd and 1, the other team's defensive line is wearing thin, and let's get cute by throwing a WR screen that goes for a 5 yard loss and almost goes for a pick 6? Loeffler apparently comes from the same mold. I watched VT allow Western Michigan to hang around yesterday for the same reasons (i.e., odd play selection, players unsure where to line up, etc.). We are about to face two much more polished offenses. Hopefully the off week allowed sufficient time for film study and scheme/technique correction. Our D has shown it can adjust and improve in-game, so there's enough reason to be optimistic that they'll continue to improve over the course of two weeks. Or at the least that they've solidified a winning gameplan. The flip side is our upcoming opponent's defenses are not likely as strong as VT's. Miami's will challenge us more than Duke's. I'm not sure how this Saturday is going to play out. But we're 4-0 and our remaining opponents have shown enough to convince me we should be competitive in every game here on out. Hopefully GT's momentum advantage pulls us through ;) [/QUOTE]
