Storm troopers, today:

Little to no excitement for this one. Expectations are low after last week

 

[Catfanatic1979v1]

Is this on ESPN PLUS?

 

[Chris McLaughlin]

Is this on ESPN PLUS?

Believe it’s just on ESPNU.

 

[HerdFan73]

Believe it’s just on ESPNU.

Any word on how the JMU/UVA weather delay will affect our broadcast? That game is barely in the 3Q.

 

[bris1112]

I'm tuned in via ESPN+

 

[GreyWolf77]

starting on the ESPN app

 

[bris1112]

The ol' hand off outta shotgun when you need a yard...ugh.

 

[bris1112]

Wild drive. All the penalties a hurt QB and a pushed FG.

 

[FreddyReef]

Why is Fancher running so much before he checks his reads..?? There is no way he’s looking at all 4 options before tucking it in 2 seconds, post snap

 

[YouHerdMe]

Why are we incapable of making a FG? I believe this is 3 years in a row that we've had this problem.

 

[bris1112]

Thank God for 22

 

[Daywalker86]

D playing well today.

 

[Daywalker86]

Except for that sad attempt to open field tackle a quarterback….what was that..

 

[HerdFan73]

Good lord Fancher.

 

[bris1112]

I hate the mesh point.

 

[HerdFan73]

I hate the mesh point.

I hate running QBs who can’t even run the read option properly.

 

[bris1112]

I hate running QBs who can’t even run the read option properly.

Scrap the rpo.

 

[herdfan429]

Scrap a lot of things

 

[bris1112]

Scrap a lot of things

5 wide don't look bad minus the inability to catch the football.

 

[HerdFan73]

5 wide don't look bad minus the inability to catch the football.

If you don’t have a WR that can catch, then it doesn’t get much worse than a 5 WR formation for me.

 

[Badger369]

Well, in the meantime, nice to see Wells throwing the game away to Purdue.

 

[FreddyReef]

Well, in the meantime, nice to see Wells throwing the game away to Purdue.

Except he will come in here and probably throw 650 yards and 4 tds because we can’t stop Albany…how in the world would we be able to stop VT?!!?!


I hope for a better return after the weather delay….

We need Ali running downhill and someone to catch a football.

730 pm on ESPN app the game will resume

 

[MU PIKE]

Qb killing us running, terrible tackling. That 4 th down was a terrible call. The box was loaded and they tried to run it In The middle where they haven’t been able to run all game.

It’s the only 4th down play we have

 

[bris1112]

Ineptitude all around.

 

[MU PIKE]

Dropped passes, and penalties will kill a team.

 

[bris1112]

Getting bullied by a power running QB.
Didn't have that on the bingo card today.

 

[HerdFan73]

I don’t care what his record is as a starter, Fancher has crapped himself this game.

 

[bris1112]

Found a pass thrower.
Chuck.

 

[Rock98Dog]

Trickett just needs to go. We have the schemes of a decent, not good, high school team. Basically a one trick pony and we aren’t too good at that trick.

 

[bris1112]

Punt it on 3rd down.
No more laterals.

 

[HerdFan73]

I’m not even talking about passing. Which clearly needs work.

But he’s fumbled a snap, and two hand offs (one of which resulted in a TD). That just can’t happen in a tight defensive game.

 

[bris1112]

Wild turn in this one.
Rollercoaster.

 

[HerdFan73]

Wow what a swing.

 

[Rock98Dog]

Trick play seems to have lit a fire and woke up the offense.

I know no imagination. Tic

 

[BleedsGreen33]

Shows how much more in shape and deep we are than ECU that late in the game our guys were still going full tilt. They've bottled Ali up all day and then he just finally busted out. He was running like it was the 1st Qtr
