True Freshman QB is not coming down here and beating our ***

[motorcitycane]

Y'all boys sleep we rolling!

 

[D_G87]

He’s a RS but yeah

 

[ShadowSpring]

F*ck Lunchmeat Tech!!!

 

[brock]

Our guys know how much this game means, the coaches as well. Should be a great night Saturday

 

[motorcitycane]

He’s a RS but yeah

Didn't know he was Redshirt my bad. But still y'all find the last frosh QB to come into Miami and light our *** up?

I'm about to go look right now.

Francois didn't light us up in 2016 either Miami was smacking his *** around and put his face in the dirt. I want us to force Josh Jackson to beat us.

 

[F-MarioCristobal]

If the stadium is as loud as I anticipate... and hope... then no he won't. They'll be rattled as ****

 

[datcaneguy]

Bandy, Jackson, Young, Delaney, and Dean will force him to make perfect throws the whole game while under pressure. He so far as to get happy feet in the pocket secondary is going to have a field day

 

[thisismyusername]

we made a fat 3rd stringer look good against us. However, I do expect the defense to play a lot harder and knock him around like we did the Syracuse QB, and I doubt anyone else we play is as tough as that kid was.

 

[stormbrewing]

Not worried about the QB
Their RB and our offense kinda concerns me tho

 

[TheUuuuu]

The players and coaches know what this game means. We won't lose this at home. We make a ******* statement on Saturday night.

 

[compleatp]

I am so excited for this game! It will be my first home game and I am flying in for it.

 

[birdicane9177]

like i said all we gotta do is win!

It’s actually the opposite. VT’s running game isn’t strong. Their QB is a threat.

Yea, the only P5 team VT has even gotten to at least 4.0 yards a carry against was WVU who has one of the worst defenses in the nation(101st according to S&P+).

As a whole, VT is 9th on the year in the ACC with 3.98 yards/carry.

Against P5 opponents they are also 9th in the conference with 3.73 yards/carry.

In conference play only they are 13th in the conference with 3.34 yards/carry.

In the month of October they were dead last in the ACC with 3.36 yards/carry.

Francois didnt light it up but he had a good game. 20/31(64%), 234 yards, 2tds and 0 picks. But vt dont got cook.

$10 says Manny gets so ******* fired up he blitzes that kid himself

So basically... we don't have to stack the box to force their QB (who is an average passer) to stay in the pocket and throw. Add in the fact that they lost Bucky Hodges and Isaiah Ford and it shouldn't be asking too much for Young, Jackson, and Co. to hold up pretty well on an island. Let Redwine play centerfield, where he excels, and let Jaquan play more in the box and rover type to help out in run support and getting him a better angle to run plays down on the edge where they try to spread out the defense. If we can limit their running game with 7 men "in the box", having Jaquan play up a little would allow the LBs to spread out their alignment to handle what they excel at in running a lot of horizontal plays and stretching the field.

Obviously easier said than done.. especially as much as our DEs take themselves out of a play by getting too far upfield and being too aggressive. If there was ever a time to call off the dogs a little in terms of trying to get up field as much as we do.. this is it. Let our DTs go to work and just set the edge on D and anticipate the quick throws, get your hands up to deflect passes, and chase down the runs laterally.

Their QB likes to leave some air under the ball. He has not thrown a ton, but he does throw the 50/50 balls that the Dukes of the world won't do anything with, but a defense like ours will intercept or knock away.

Turnovers are obviously good.. but our offense can't capitalize on a takeaway so essentially its just like a punt. I'd like to say if we see the turnover chain 2 times or more... we win but we can't necessarily say that right now.

That being said.. if we get them in 3rd and long I would expect more of the types of throws you just mentioned from their offense. Essentially it's a big play or a punt for them without fear that we'll turn it into points. We'll need to make sure we don't give up big plays (like we always seem to do) on the 3rd and long. Like opponents kicking field goals against us (they never ******* miss!) it seems that opponents convert 3rd and 10+ every single time.

Even though our defense loves giving up big plays, their offense hasn't had a knack for getting those big plays. On the flip side we are near the top of the country in explosive plays and their defense is near last.
