So Jake is starting this week

Has it been confirmed that TVD is out and Jake is starting? If so, by whom? Mario said yesterday TVD was sore but said nothing about him not being available.

That’s a 90+ % comp percentage. We Up LFG

I’m way more concerned with UVA kid ( whoever they trot out there ) throwing a perfect game against us.

Yep, the same. They finally came for the iPhone users. Just one more reason to pull back from this season.

True, but he has the mentality we need on this team. He’s focused and pushes himself to be the best he can be. Jake… well he’s got other priorities as @SouthParkCane said Miami women got him lmao

You're saying he's another Tate Martell...

Brown needs to be ready. Why? Because Garcia doesnt look to stand much of a chance behind that line. He was getting MAULED vs Duke. TVD got MAULED obviously and neither one is nimble enough to avoid a consistent mauling.

So what you're saying is we need DannyBoy as QB coach? No one survives a mauling better than him. If he can pass that wisdom down to our QBs, we might just be alright.

I think we'll see a more composed & careful Jake when he's the starter...and isn't pressed into action down 21-7. Starting at 0-0 will allow him to be more patient & take what the defense gives him.

Prepping as the starter & getting more reps in with the WR will help him a lot too. He MUST avoid playing favorites (taking care of his buddies) and only throw to them if they are running the right routes & proving to be dependable. He's got to rely on the TEs heavily (as well as throwing to the RBs) and Colbie. He started having issues against Duke when: (i) he targeted players other than Mallory & Colbie and (ii) the OL play deteriorated materially as the game progressed.

He needs much better protection from the OL, TEs & RBs. Realistically, with this current OL he needs to get the ball out fast & either dump it off short, run with it, or throw it away fast if the opponent starts getting to him repeatedly. He's got to have a better gameplan for dealing with OL struggles going into the game.

After Duke's half time adjustment, our OL was like a sieve. He stood no chance... got rattled and that was it..

I'm interested to see how he does with a week of first-team reps. I'm not ready to bury him yet based off last week, although wow was that awful.

Also, UVA is literally as bad as VT. They very well might be the worst P5 team in the entire country. I know, I know. We'd lose to St Thomas. I get it.

I’m sure with a week of first team reps, you’ll see him exercise some of his demons. Also, expect Brennan Armstrong to throw for 350 on us 😂
