But the defense reached it's potential under Fu in 2017

what would it take to be, 'great'? -- bourbonstreet 03/30/2021 3:16PM

The Fu/Corn offense is a lot closer than the Bud/Ham Def -- N2VT2 03/31/2021 09:02AM

But the defense reached it's potential under Fu in 2017 -- Baltimore Hokie 03/31/2021 2:45PM

Easy - New Coach / Better Players -- VT ChemE 1986 03/30/2021 3:42PM

...you make it sound so turnkey, easy. Are we sure New Coach=+++ballers❓ -- bourbonstreet 03/30/2021 3:53PM

The damage is done at this point. But I'd rather find out about a new coac -- hokie4life2 04/01/2021 6:47PM

kan't argue you, dat----------> ** -- bourbonstreet 04/01/2021 8:52PM

It takes more than just a good recruiting staff -- which I think it part of -- Pride_and_Joy 03/31/2021 12:09PM

"Football is a dinosaur that doesn't see the meteor heading toward Earth" -- bourbonstreet 03/31/2021 5:42PM

You've conflated the scheme with the performance -- Baltimore Hokie 03/30/2021 2:13PM

What else could Brandon write about during the offseason? -- VTHokie2000 03/30/2021 1:31PM

Yep that's my complaint. VT was 43 in points scored and 31st in yards. -- UTPr0sim 03/30/2021 07:47AM

84 ppg teams and 96 yardage teams wish they had our, problems; right? Look -- bourbonstreet 03/30/2021 3:23PM

Exactly. The way we are evaluating -- VT ChemE 1986 03/30/2021 3:44PM

Your complaint is that the offense was above average or that -- Pride_and_Joy 03/30/2021 12:26PM

Above average for all of FBS? Not above average for just P5. ** -- NokieHokie 03/30/2021 1:32PM

What would you consider above average? 14th out of 64 for total O seems -- Pride_and_Joy 03/30/2021 1:52PM

I would consider those above average. ** -- NokieHokie 03/30/2021 1:53PM

Don’t you just hate it when stats get in the way of a negative narrative? ** -- marcbvtgm 03/30/2021 4:47PM

Well there is a reason why I asked. Because I didn't know... :) ** -- NokieHokie 03/30/2021 4:51PM

So then VT’s offense was an above average P5 offense last year. ** -- Pride_and_Joy 03/30/2021 2:08PM

5-6 isn't above average. LOL ** -- UTPr0sim 03/31/2021 08:34AM

Offense. ** -- Pride_and_Joy 03/31/2021 10:36AM

Gotta keep me focused....LOL ** -- UTPr0sim 03/31/2021 11:23AM

Okay. Great! ** -- NokieHokie 03/30/2021 2:15PM

Is anyone suggesting there aren't better Os out there than VTs? ** -- Pride_and_Joy 03/30/2021 12:14PM

Nope, just that an 8 part in depth on VT O may be overkill. Its an opinion. ** -- UTPr0sim 03/30/2021 12:42PM

It's an "overkill" with no downside. ** -- NokieHokie 03/30/2021 1:31PM

So true! Good content for some and something to whine about for others! :) ** -- Pride_and_Joy 03/30/2021 1:53PM

No. But some of our fans act like the fact that it's better than Frank's -- NokieHokie 03/30/2021 12:22PM

Which fans? ** -- Pride_and_Joy 03/30/2021 12:25PM

Ones on here that post how good the O is and that the losses are all on the -- NokieHokie 03/30/2021 12:26PM

No different that the fans who used to push the BS narrative that all of -- Hoakie82 03/30/2021 12:39PM

Hmm. Don't recall fans who put losses entirely on one unit or the other. -- Pride_and_Joy 03/30/2021 12:28PM

I blame the infamous Wake game on the offense since the defense -- VTHokie2000 03/30/2021 1:41PM

Holding onto the onside kickoff would have helped too!! ** -- ChazB 03/30/2021 2:19PM

I put the BC loss on both. But the O had a huge part all game long in not -- NokieHokie 03/30/2021 2:16PM

I don't disagree that both had a part in the BC loss. -- VTHokie2000 03/30/2021 3:41PM

Not true. Earlier the game matters just as much. What if the O was rolling -- NokieHokie 03/30/2021 3:45PM

Even if the offense scored TDs on its first 3 possessions, -- VTHokie2000 03/30/2021 4:03PM

You can score and have control. We had control and didn't score. That's not -- NokieHokie 03/30/2021 4:05PM

VT scored enough to win the game if the defense had done it job -- VTHokie2000 03/30/2021 4:23PM

I completely disagree. The defense did it's job more % of the game than the -- NokieHokie 03/30/2021 4:32PM

Did I say the entire game or when it mattered most? ** -- VTHokie2000 03/30/2021 4:35PM

There is no such thing as when it matters most. #allplaysmatter LOL! :) ** -- NokieHokie 03/30/2021 4:42PM

Tell that to a boxer who decides to showboat during the last min -- VTHokie2000 03/30/2021 4:58PM

A mistake is a mistake. A TD given up by the D is the same amount of points -- NokieHokie 03/30/2021 5:00PM

But the offense did do enough because VT had the lead going -- VTHokie2000 03/30/2021 5:08PM

The STs has more to do with. The D shouldn't have had 2 series on the field -- NokieHokie 03/30/2021 5:11PM

Tell that to Wake ;-) ** -- VTHokie2000 03/30/2021 5:28PM

The Wake game is as close as possible to blaming ONE side exclusively. -- Pride_and_Joy 03/30/2021 1:55PM

In close games, regardless whether they are an offensive shootout -- VTHokie2000 03/30/2021 2:09PM

Yeah, but that’s wrong in both cases. Lol. ** -- Pride_and_Joy 03/30/2021 2:10PM

That's the beauty of people having differing opinion ;-) ** -- VTHokie2000 03/30/2021 3:28PM

Yep. I get to be right and others get to be wrong. :) ** -- Pride_and_Joy 03/30/2021 4:48PM

As my brother would say, I am not opinionated. Just always right. ;-) ** -- VTHokie2000 03/30/2021 4:59PM

The robustness of the analysis and description is not commensurate -- Pride_and_Joy 03/29/2021 5:05PM

Taking a deep dive into mediacrity may benefit geeks of the study, but does -- UTPr0sim 03/30/2021 07:49AM

Why does it have to improve anything? It's an article on a fansite. Coaches -- NokieHokie 03/30/2021 11:04AM

Gotcha. In my opinion 4 articles would have been more than enough -- UTPr0sim 03/30/2021 11:12AM

The awesome thing is, you don't have to read the articles. -- Pride_and_Joy 03/30/2021 12:23PM

And I think I have the right to express my opinion that it may have been -- UTPr0sim 03/30/2021 12:48PM

For sure, you have the right to express your opinion! -- Pride_and_Joy 03/30/2021 1:13PM

Our opponents know way more than Brandon... No offense to him! ** -- NokieHokie 03/30/2021 1:05PM

Not sure the resources would be directed there. Not sure Brandon's forte is -- NokieHokie 03/30/2021 11:13AM

Does any kind of article written for TSL help the VT -- Pride_and_Joy 03/30/2021 08:56AM

We're getting an 8 part series of the criticism -- TomTurkey 03/30/2021 2:17PM

Lol! ** -- Pride_and_Joy 03/30/2021 2:37PM

Well said ** -- VT ChemE 1986 03/29/2021 6:11PM
