Man, this should be an interesting game for Morris.

They mix and match their zones really well. And, I don't mean on different plays alone. On one side of the field, they play one coverage and on another side they play man or some variation. They stack the box with defenders, but keep 5-6 DBs in the game. They do a lot of cool things with their defensive backfield, which I guess makes sense since they have at least 4-5 future NFL-caliber players there. Along their front, everyone is going upfield hard.

Coach Coley needs to play a huge role here in simplifying Morris' looks/reads. We didn't do anything too complex against FSU, and maybe I'm off here, but I'm more concerned about this defense than FSU's.

Its all and always will be on SM if he gets rattled it will be a Wake Forest game when it shouldnt be that close. We should win by 10 plus.
 
Their terrible offense negates their great D.

I honestly don't think we'll have too much trouble with them.

I wouldnt be more concerned about their defense then FSU's but you should be concerned because I dont know if we can put up more than 28 on them. I think we will put up a bunch of yards but they get us with turnovers. Really anxious to see how we come out swinging in this one.....
 
Morris vs VT in his career:

28-61 46%, 372 yards, 3 TD, 3 INT

Inconsistent (there's a big f-cking surprise)
 
This is gonna be an ugly game to watch were both teams will come out looking like crap

But I'll take a 21-20 win over them... This has the type of game where Morris looks like he did against unc

From watching film of our D, do we do any of this?

Highly doubt we are effective passing on them. Their Dline and LB's are athletic but undersized so you can run on them.

I think it'll be more like 13-10 or something, but what do I know...

Good post, Lu. I'm with you on all of it. I think this Vag Tech D is straight up nasty and can easily bait Morris into doing what he does.

This is why I've been saying for awhile that I think we will have to rely on the run game. Someone's going to have to step up like Larry Jones did for us in the OB Nat'l Championship game many years ago. He was a backup, and no one knew he was before that game. He went off and he won the MVP. We're going to need a similarly heroic effort from a RB or two, or this one is shaping up to suck.

VT's defense IS better than FSU's.

Look at what they did to Bama.
