You knew it was going to happen. We all knew it was going to happen... sigh...Well, they competed for awhile and then they did not.
It’s on Polly. 😂I'm much less optimistic at this point for conference play. WKU, Charlotte, UTSA, and Marshall all look like losses now.
Meanwhile……..in Athens GA, 35-0 at halftime. UAB is shell shocked.😂😂35-14
I'm glad we are not in Georgia this week. Imagine the score if the Polly/West led team were lined up against the bulldogs.Meanwhile……..in Athens GA, 35-0 at halftime. UAB is shell shocked.😂😂

We don't have to imagine. It happened a few years ago. Luckily Georgia had pity on us.I'm glad we are not in Georgia this week. Imagine the score if the Polly/West led team were lined up against the bulldogs.
So. Actually a great game. As in fun to watch, great atmosphere, VT fans were great.
The game was better than the score showed. But 2 things, well 4 killed us.
WE HAVE NO RUN GAME
Our average per carry was 1.9yds. Theirs was 5.2. We had more total net yards and led in time of possession.
Special teams sucks
Our punter is great. Did his job. Return coverage is atrocious. They had 141yds on returns. We had 16.
Penalties
Only 5 but all dumb and all at terrible times.
So
No run game
Field position
Interception
Penalties
Those lost the game for us. I was actually surprised how we played defensively. But if we don't figure out a run game, gonna be a long season.
And what is with Hockman never ever running. He will run way out of the pocket and still try to pass. He never will just run with it.
If I were Dearmon I would be at least trying to get them gone asap. I think the talent is there up front to so better than 1.9 ypc with the RBs we have.Dearmon has mentioned he doesn’t want his “franchise” running the ball often. I think we need a few more QB keeps on read option just so the D respects it, but it is what it is.
Our OL play just sucks. And there’s no excuse because we have had a few pro lineman over the years. Mallory and Polly should be fired yesterday.
Stock to Chip in yesterday’s postgame interview.
”We’ve got to find a way to run the Football”.
How many times have we heard those words and nothing changes?
