No, but Bosa keeps them from needing to commit more to the rush, Marshall fields punts...

It's Bosa and Marshall's own fault they aren't playing tonight. It's not an excuse to lose.

Remember fellas,
Great pride comes before the fall.

No dumber words were ever said in a more idiot way.

I hate to invoke Rex Ryan but we need to go ground and pound in the second half. Establish the run then kill them with play action throws as soon as the safeties even think of cheating up.

WTF?

 

[lvbuckeye]

First ten minutes were brilliant.
The next twenty were a giant shit sandwich.
I still think we win, but damn. That second quarter was awful.

 

[Jake]

We were behind a bit early with Alabama.

15 points to be exact. Need more Zeke and a takeaway or two.

 

[Mariotwins]

Is halftime over yet?

 

[Onebuckfan]

Where is the leadership on D.

 

[scarletngray]

One dropped TD pass by PC
Holding on a TD run by CJ
Missed FG
Two Turnovers

Clean up the mistakes and let's take it to them in the 2nd Half

Why do people keep quoting the troll? The ignore function works great, otherwise.

No dumber words were ever said in a more idiot way.

If we were to only have kicked field goals this game could we still win?

 

[Drubuck]

Play mistake free here fellas and win by 14

Well we looked like the best team in the country for a quarter. I'm not sure if JT would be any better, but Cardale needs to make sure others get the ball in the run game. Not sure if he thinks he needs to make a play, or if he doesn't feel comfy with a pitch. If we don't have anyone that's able to take the top off the defense then maybe it's time for the second string QB. I'll take 33 five yard throws at a 65% completion rate all day. Zeke must get the damn ball..end of story there.

The VT defense is not worried about Jones throwing the ball down the field.

Half their team was injured after they played us.

Musta missed that watching them after that...regardless

So? Good doesn't mean great. It's not Kansas. It's a team with talented players and a smart coaching staff. You can't sleepwalk on teams like this.

I'm not saying they are Kansas but fuck me Va Tech use to be good. They will likely finish 7-6 or 8-5 this year...
