I was very critical of Kirk last year. Yesterday was his best playcalling game since he has returned. He kept VA. Tech off balance all day not knowing if we were running or passing . He ran the same RPO over an over , giving Athan the option to run or hit Fletcher coming across formation or Miller on the sideline or on a wheel route. Finally an OC that runs the same play because the other team cannot stop it. He went to the well 1 too many times with the Fourth and 1 up 23-7 as Kyle would have walked in.
The screen pass on first down that Strong took to the 13 was the best call of the day or year , as all the momentum had shifted and the stadium was on fire . That pulled the game out which shouldn’t been close as we dominated that game .
Athan throwing for 269 yards with 64% completion with 10 yard average per 16 receptions was his best game of the year.
If Kirk continues to get everyone involved , with Kyle and Sam as a 1 . 2 punch , Athangetting the Tight end Fletcher a regular part of the offense , and mixing up pass and run we should put up 30 points per game( should have been 40-45 yesterday ) and we will be hard to beat.
