Alford went up and got it

[orangenauburn]

So yeah. Let's efffffffing goooooooo

 

[GoSU96]

VT with the ridiculous coverage

 

[OrangeXtreme]

 

[NineOneSeven]

Important player on this team and next year.

 

[HtownOrange]

Great catch. Makes it so much sweeter that it was at VATech and the game winner and the VATech fans were on the verge of a victory celebration. I think he just turned up the heat on Fuentes coaching seat.

Fuente is done.

 

[721Comstock]

Fuente is done.

Yeah, I think we just went full Fedora & Petrino on Fuente here.

Hokies faithful aren’t gonna be happy snatching that L from the jaws of victory.

 

[orangeinohio]

Fuente is done.

Didn’t VT play so much better today than previous games?
I’d think that there are a lot of people in Blacksburg who are upset with the last minute loss but also see this as a relatively positive step.

(Honestly I don’t care because VT grads have always been annoying to me.)

Let's be honest, if the refs hadn't been so blind, VATch would not have been in the game. Two plays overturned in favor of VATech, both were called correctly on the field. Many after the play dirty actions simply overlooked. The list goes on. Fuentes should be toast.

I remember reading a thread earlier in the week asking "when is the last time someone went up to grab a ball?" (paraphrasing). Well, it's been awhile, but today was the day. Liking Alford and Jackson as 1-2 combo. Let's go!

He twice played very conservatively, and went for FG's. You could hear the unrest coming from the stands.

That was my trigger

 

[Cheriehoop]

Hate to say this but who on the line totally ole’d his block and turned instead to watch the pass allowing the VT guy to slam Shrader? Yikes

On thebotched extra point therewasa blatant push in theback.

RG. He had the invisible man blocked

Literally blocked absolutely nothing and was not near one defensive player

Plus hitting the ab in the chest, isn’t that considered targeting? Watch the VT guy lower his head to tackle Shrader.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

 

[Orangello]

Pssst he doesn't know the offense

Rewatching this now, you are absolutely correct. Looked to his right and never attempted to block his man. Dakota Davis?

oh man, I think it was 57 (again!)

Alford got a shout out

The problem on that catch was that the DB had his hand up in Alford’s face mask and shoved him away from the ball. Alford never even got a chance to get his legs down. One of the clearest examples of Defensive PI I have seen.€ it was an awful call and t he announcers glossed over it..

syracusefan.com

Can't tell with certainty. but yeah houston we have a problem with 57 if so gonna get shrader killed. And I thought previously he was one of our best. These are not hard reads, basic OL 101, w t ...

 

[orangeinohio]

Szymt was probably happier than Alford about that TD

Have to guess that Illoa missed his assignment, not necessarily Dakota Davis.

yep looks like it, wth is up with him. Tommy fan? I keed I keed!

Not sure, but he blew by our line unnoticed and untouched. Should have been a sack.

Credit to Shrader for managing to get that off.

Nope.

Edit. Good catch. He missed too.

I was thinking Ellis at LG
