Wow what a game. The flow can be seen in the ST play, which in my opinion was the best overall ST game this year.
Game ball to Milton. His FG block at 10:42 in the third to keep VT from going up two scores on short FG was massive and kept us in the game. He almost blocked an EP in the Woffard game (Green got the block) and I heard that he had blocked some FGs last year. Anyway, great coaching of speed for us to have 5 blocked FGs last year and 2 blocks this year (FG and EP).
Snoddy with most exciting (sic) play of the game when down 7 on what could have been our last possession of the game in the fourth. He muffs the KO return at the 6 into the end zone, is almost tackled for safety and then runs back to the 35. Everyone would be in total meltdown IF that had been a safety. I don’t think I’ve ever seen Snoddy run that fast. No moves, just pure speed. He likes the right sideline. The football gods smiled on us.
Butker. Really? I’m really disappointed in him. He has missed 3 of 7 easy FGs this year. They have all had good snaps and holds. Yesterday, he hit the right upright in this game and barely missed to the right in the Tulane game. He has a great strength and can kick TBs all day – he was 5 TBs of 6 attempts yesterday which limited the KO return vulnerability we may have. Plus he kicks FGs straight and long. FWIW, he is tied for 96th best in FG % this year. Great call by CPJ on last play of the game to center the ball for the game winning FG. Gotta know the strengths and weaknesses of your players.
But overall, this was top to bottom the best ST game of the year for us; B+. ST has been constantly above average IMHO this year, but yesterday they really contributed to the win with that blocked FG. It would have been a totally different game if VT went up two scores and then Brewer wouldn't have been as reckless passing the ball. Milton comes through big time. Gamer!
What was especially sweet was the ST play against Beamer's team. We now have JBall.
