@beaced glad you are back on the board. I join a big crowd to see that you posting again. Hope all is well my friend!
Setting up for the Virginia Tech (VT) game
- Thread starter DJ Spanky
- Start date
I wanted to bring this thread back to the top for further discussion in light of VT's loss to Vandy.
I watched a bit of the game, pressure on Drones is going to be huge. And they do NOT have gimmes coming against Old Dominion and Marshall, they absolutely have to play hard and crush these 2 teams.

The Akron QB is the real deal
This game is going to be tough .
7/13 for 54 yds and 6 rushes for 14 yards in the first half. OMG, we are doomed.
I watched a decent part of the game. I’m not sure what type of injury Drones has, I thought it was leg cramps, he was in and out of the game late. The Vandy dual threat QB gave VT a lot of problems. He ran the ball well and kind of hammed & egged it. RU will need to be balanced offensively. I don’t put that much emphasis on the 1st game of the college season, it is often misleading.
And he took some hard hits and appears to be injured. It’s not their offense I’m worried about.
Have you watched any of the game? Their D is legit and the score itself doesn’t do justice to how solid they’ve looked. OSU has had to fight for every yard. Holding them to the FG after throwing the pick was impressive as was forcing OSU to turn it over on downs and punt twice. Definitely not a pushover D.
Taylor hammed and egged?
RU is bringing the Pork Roll!!!
OSU seems to start slow the last few years. I would not draw any conclusions from the first half on their D.
Akron’s D was supposed to be good coming into the season. OSU may have started slow, and eventually broke Akron down because their offense couldn’t stay on the field but their tackling and coverage looks very solid.
Tough kid …. Many QBs wouldn’t have stayed in after all those hits.
We’re better off facing Qb Bullock
This should present opportunities for Athan on read option plays and if he needs to scramble. There may be some designed runs called for him as well based on how Vandy's QB caused them so much trouble today.
I noticed VT plays Miami 6 days (Friday) after the Rutgers game. That is a huge game for VT obviously.
Gee, I hope they don't look past lowly old Rutgers as they eagerly await the chance to upset Miami a mere 6 days later. That would be a real shame.

Hey Tru I'm going but haven't looked into parking. Any feedback from past visitors would be a great help.
You're jumping to conclusions, I said "SHOULD PRESENT OPPORTUNITIES" not "RUSH 26 TIMES LIKE THE VANDY QB"...lol.
Athan will have around 5-8 rush plays each game whether they are designed runs, off the read option or QB scrambles.
VT's run defense needs some serious fixing over the next two weeks before RU visits. If it's similar to Vandy, all the RBs and Athan will feast on them.
They are not crushing ODU.
Might be closer than many think.
