Game 4 - Virginia Tech at Marshall

[hunzworth]

Well maybe but i think Knowles was set to dress as soon as Roberts went down for (kr's).

NO BOYKIN?!?

Marcus Davis will go for 150+ yds receiving

NO BOYKIN?!?

I guess now we know why Knowles is dressing. Anybody know the status of Boykin's hamstring injury?

 

[wildturkey]

Sucks about Boykin but honestly, we shouldn't need him for this game. Save him for next week even if there's just a lingering doubt that he can't play.

Agree, So will it be Fuller or Smiling off the bench after Coles???

FWIW i would bet that Knowles is dressing just for KR.

 

[Ragingcroc]

Maybe Drager/Dunn will get a few more looks with the Boykin and Roberts out.

 

[Sleepy T]

Any game day predicitions??? I think it will be another nasty game on defense and a comeback game on O. 45-3

Hopefully we will get to see a complete game from VT in dominating fashion.

That would be a waste IMO. Give him reps at WR if we are going to burn the redshirt. Why use him for maybe 3 plays a game when its not that big of a need.

Yeah i agree, i should have said "primarily" instead of "just for". There are a few WR's above him on the depth chart though, so i still say his WR reps will be minimal.

Im pretty sure we dont have anyone (besides wilson) with Knowles speed so if he can get us good/decent field position on those 3-4 kr's i dont think its a waste. You could also argue that DW's biggest contribution last year were KR's.

slowed it down and zoomed in-he touched it. this should be VT ball inside the ten.


i guess they didnt feel it needed reviewed.

 

[Ragingcroc]

What's with all the blown coverages?

got so caught up in the fact that they touched it that i didnt realize that Marshall came up with the ball.



Hope collins is OK?

earlier i would have said that i thought foster was being a little to aggressive but that looked like assignment IMO.

LETS GO offense!!

 

[awaz]

secondary doesn't look very good.. but everything else looks good thus far

Go Hokies!

I honestly think we are playing/play calling too aggressive in some instances. Foster has been sending the entire front 7 + safeties on some plays, you cant defend 4wr's with 2 cb's. Bonner was playing too aggressive and got burnt on the TD, IMO we need to be playing a man with safety/s over top.

 

[NickVT10]

We need to throw the ball from under center more. It seems like every time we are under center we are running the ball with the occasional PA. Drop back from under center and they won't stack the box as much.
