Hey guys. It's me back again. Bored out of my mind waiting to get off work and headed to Charlotte for our bowl tomorrow, and thought I would check out hineygate. I posted there quite a bit over the last couple of years since VT had a home and home with them, and I believe their arrogance has grown if that is possible. That arrogance is what made beating them in 2014 so satisfying.
VT played them in 2014 and 2015, and of course you guys just a few weeks ago. Both are really good to great teams, but Johnson was dead on in his remarks. Go back and see what Bud Foster's blitzes did to him in 2014. He as like a deer in the headlights all night. Now compare that to what Watson did against just as aggressive a blitz package. I know Barrett was green in 2014, and I do admire his leadership, but he ain't got nothing on Watson in that department, and is half the quarterback Watson is. Honestly, I would take Jarod Evans over Barrett every day of the week and twice on Sundays. Barrett just has an outstanding supporting cast. So does Watson. Lots of future pros on the field in your game on both sides. That is undeniable, regardless of rooting interests.
I think you guys and FSU expose the B1G for what it is. A top heavy league that the bottom 2/3's was so weak in it made the top 4 teams look better than they were, and I think we find that out very graphically over the next few days.
Beat those clowns for everyone's sake. Beat them like a rented mule, then beat them some more.
Good luck to you guys and hopefully VT can drive another small stake in the SEC's heart tomorrow.

Good luck to you tomorrow.
I also believe your QB is better than JT.
I guess we only have a few days before we find out.

I think your offense is the closest thing we've seen to OSU.

Barrett runs the ball more than Evans, but isn't quite the thumper between the tackles like Evans.
Zone Read based attack. Ohio St has some beasts on the OL (although did give up sacks against Michigan) and has a better RB and run game than VT.
Anyway, the fact that yall put up 35 points on us has me a little nervous as this OSU offense is pretty similar. But, that 3rd down completion when the call got screwed up on 3rd and 13 or whatever changed the game. I'm thinking you only score 21 had that not happened. That's what I'm telling myself anyway so I won't completely freak out before Saturday.

Expose the B1G? Top heavy? OSU/Michigan/PSU/wisky/ Nebraska/Iowa/northwestern/Minnesota are all good teams. Northwestern about the 6th or 7th best and they beat Pitt. Ran all over them, dominated TOP.

Pitt minus their great RB and qb.. Didn't that 6th or 7th best team play you to a 4 point game in Columbus?

And they also lost their OC to LSU, it was definitely not the same Pitt team that played the ACC schedule.

They played a great game against us, imagine if you guys replaced your 3 best receivers, RB, TE, 2 OL, 2 best DL, both OL, best corner and safety this season. This team looked tired at times esp. nothwestern, PSU and MSU.

We replaced our offensive line leader, our 2 nfl defensive ends and our lock down CB. We lost our strong and free safety to the nfl and a starting WR to the nfl as well. oh yea we lost our staring MLB to the nfl as well, so yea we get it.

Belong on the same field as us last night. VT gave us a heck of a game. Have a feeling we may be rivals again at the acccg a few more time in the near future.

and I believe true words. I'll definitely be pulling for you guys hard, as I will pretty much every team playing an SECheat team. You guys have a good squad, and a good (potentially really good, we'll see) HC hire IMHO. You guys handle business! Good luck buddy.

I don't usually do this, but when I am this accurate, I got to crow a little bit. Congrats. Now bring home the big prize and leave no doubt who the best conference is if there is any doubt left, that is

Btw wonderful comeback by ur team. How was your trip. Guess u were sweating it out at halftime...
ACC got er done. Hard to judge pitt game w/o connor and qb out. Pitt doesn't have the depth yet. Think oc helped lsu some. But honestly after we showed teams how to handle lj -looserville imploded.
Ucheat just played a good team and clearly ur tape helped them a good bit too. C U in Blacksburg next year. Wait, that be this year. Lol.
