ND QBs suck. Outside of those 2 bombs Christ threw, he looked bad.

The offense looks a hell of a lot better with Crist than a walkon or a true frosh at QB. He does need to work on his accuracy. Some of those passes that were behind his receiver cost them drives. He also needs to put the ball in better areas to let his receivers make a play on the ball, particularly around the endzone. However, I think the latter will come with some experience.

O yea, considering this was his 2nd career start and was hurt, your not going to count it against him. Plenty of time to improve, but if ND plays a good D you can forget about winning this season.

I agree. There are plenty of areas where the offense as a whole can improve: Crist with his accuracy/decision making, o-line consistency, better route running, and catching/holding on to the ball, to name a few. However, I'm not expecting Brian Kelly to fix all of these issues in his first season. I realize that there are going to be bumps in the road, and the fact of the matter is that there is a lot of coaching to do with the current roster. I do expect to see improvement in these areas throughout year though.

Travis Baltz is the best overall kicker in the country. All ACC punter a few years back and now he's drilling 47 yard FGs with ease with Nick Ferrerra hurt.

Two TD's that shouldn't of counted but did

So today we have some potential great matchups with ranked teams, and FSU, MIami, and Penn St don't really show up,.,,,,booo!!!

Called a 17-21 point loss, should have been closer though.

I'm satisfied with the performance, for the most part. Robby Bolden looked good at times, overthrew a few guys, had a perfect ball dropped by Graham Zug that would have been a 20-yard gain, and had two picks that were forced because of pressure.

The three turnovers really killed us. Those would have at least been 9 points, giving us a very slight chance at the end. The run defense needs a lot of work though; LB core doesn't impress me too much.

And Kevin Newsome shouldn't have came in for Bolden at the end...keep playing the freshman and let him take his lumps.

e: Silas Redd needs more PT...he ran the ball pretty well against the first string Crimson Tide D.

 

[Bmore]

K-State and Maryland both going 2-0. I'm liking it!

 

[godspeed]

Man, what happaned to Russel Wilson?? He was awful.

On the flipside, Jeffrey Godfrey looked great, UCF is going to be fun to watch this year.

We lost to James Madison University. Need I say more?

Only Bryan Stinespring could fuck up having this much talent on offense. All our coaches ever talk about is lack of execution, but at some point the consistent lack of execution has to fall back on the coaching staff. Bryan Stinespring is the worst offensive coordinator in America. I laugh at the schools that actually offered him a head coaching job this past summer. Why the fuck would you ever want that incompetent fool running anything, let alone your entire team?

This season has been a disaster for Virginia Tech so far. Absolute disaster. This was the year the stars aligned for the team -- when the offense actually was supposed to look decent. I think moving the Boise State game to the first weekend and giving us five days rest for JMU fucked us over. Fuck our athletic director Jim Weaver. We could have easily played Boise in the first week of October like we were supposed to but of course we have to move it to the first week of the season... just so we can get national recognition. For losing. Yeah.

In closing,

GOD DAMNIT. Fuck this team. I hope we go 6-6 so Frank Beamer wakes up and realizes that our offensive coaching staff is so horribad.

Biggest shocker of the day,,

Lane Kiffin opts to go back to kicking extra points, and abandons his 2 pt conversion craziness. This is an outrage!!

 

[JeremyHight]

I'm still laughing at the fact that several people in the chatbox were saying that they'd take Harris over Pryor for his consistency. The only thing Harris showed was consistent weak throws that often ended up in the hands of Buckeye defenders. Pryor isn't the best, but he's a hell of a lot better than Harris.

 

[Point Blank]

Wow @ VT. The Falcons better fucking win today!

 

[Youk]

Fucking Army.

 

[Woy]

Fucking Army.

Virginia played good last night.

 

[Goober]

Can't wait for big ten play to start so we can forget about Michigan again.

 

[bluntside]

The only thing possible to overshadow Minnesota loosing to University of South Dakota at home is VT losing to JMU at home. The gophers defence is (and has been for some time) total shit and they will spend at least the next few years as total bottom feeders in the Big 10.
