Grier comes out firing but throws short.

 

[AWS1022]

My guess is Va Tech continues their long history of being all hype. WVU wins this one.

I'm here and suprised it's about 50/50 VT/WV fans.

Why are you surprised? Both teams travel well.

 

[AWS1022]

Va Tech blows a first and goal at the one and has to settle for a FG...3-0.

Because I really thought Tech traveled better, and I think there are more Hokies in DC. I guess I'm wrong.

Was in DC this afternoon and there were WVU fans everywhere.

VT vs WV is like a father daughter prom

 

[AWS1022]

VT's QB really doesn't throw well on the move...he needs to take some lessons from Trace.

Grier with an ugly pass turned into a VT INT on 4th down. Pretty athletic play by the Hokie that made the INT

Then VT's offense does nothing. Their O is not real impressive so far (and neither is WVU's).

 

[Alphabets]

Will Grier is not accurate. That is all.

.... But he looked great on that drive.

Speaking of all hype, TAMU is really taking it to Josh Rosen and UCLA.

 

[AWS1022]

Great drive by WVU...marched through VT's defense like it wasn't even there. Pretty funny that on a 4th and 2 the VT CB played five yards off the receiver. 7-3 WVU.

Yeah, they're pretty hyped too. But has there been a program over the last 25 years more overhyped than VT without accomplishing anything?

Wish we had Kyzir White! Weren't we close to getting him? He is a missile.

Saw Tim Settle out there as well.

 

[AWS1022]

VT has the Rockettes offensive game plan...1,2,3, kick...1,2,3, kick.

lol. they did finally get a 3rd down conversion on a long bomb, and are in the red zone.

 

[AWS1022]

Nice drive by VT...10-7 VT leads.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Nice drive by VT

2 nice passes on the drive, and then a very well designed/executed QB keeper for the TD

 

[VaNtyLion]

Could be good time to predict the winner of the ACC Coastal will finish regular season with at least 3 losses. QB play in that division is Sun Belt quality

 

[SLion]

WVU back Crawford is good. Great moves and speed.

No Brendan Ferns on field? I thought he recovered from ACL injury. Kid was a stud. Really bummed that he chose WVU

Frank Beamer is the most overrated coach of all time, yet is given legendary status. He never won a game that counted or that he had to win. I don't get the fascination with this program.

Exactly. They were highly ranked every preseason then proceeded to fall in the rankings pretty much every year. They've been ND without the one appearance in the NC game (and they were not even close to that one appearance).

nice 4-play drive by VT for the TD. 17-10, VT in the 3rd qtr.

Starting to look like a football game...seeing some offensive life on both sides.

 

[AWS1022]

Both of these teams are ranked in the 20's and PSU is #6 and you can see a HUGE difference in offensive talent between PSU and both these teams.

 

[PSU Soupy]

#3 and #8 are very good defensive players for WVU. They are everywhere.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Just when WVU seemed to be gassing on D, they make a huge stop on 3rd & 1. Then VT misses a 38-yard FG attempt. Still 17-10, VT

 

[AWS1022]

Nice drive by VT but they again fail to pick up a 3rd and short then miss the FG.

Looks like 3rd and short is tough for pretty much all spread teams.

 

[AWS1022]

I thought OSU held a lot, but they're amateurs compared to WVU.

 

[Peetz Pool Boy]

17 all.

A very entertaining game

Agree. Better than FSU/Ala. game last night from a pure enjoyment factor.

Plus no Herbstreit.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

craziness. WVU seems to get new life from the 3rd & 1/FG miss, and executes a nice drive to tie the score.

then WVU nearly takes the KO back, and then scores on a 1-play drive (blown coverage by the DBs), to retake the lead.

24-17, VT

 

[phillybillyreprise]

I am out of breath

 

[Peetz Pool Boy]

That sideline official has a stick up his ...

lol

there was some nice D in the 1st half, and a few selected plays in the 2nd half. The rest of the time, it's been like watching a track meet.
