Next week is gonna be huuuuuge

[David321]

Let’s just hope that Dino has been making adjustments this week and yes, utilizing our TE with some short passes.

FSU didn't really know what to expect as that was Shraders' 1st game. Wake also didn't sell out to stop the run and spy him as much as Clemson did in the second half. That's the book as of now. I don't understand why the TE isn't involved in the offense. He blocks then releases and should be open. Going to have to complete short passes to loosen up the run.

This isn’t accurate. Liberty was shraders first game and FSU 100% sold out to stop the run, it wasn’t until Shrader broke a long run (breaking the tackle on a spy)/hit a couple passes that Tucker and the run game opened up. Same thing against wake difference was they opened up the passing a little earlier than against FSU.

Maybe they will let them rush for 350. No, they will load the box and spy Shrader. The receiving corp is going to have to make plays, maybe a TE will get some targets.

We have a TE?

 

[djorange1989]

Clemson’s defense is the best in the country outside of Georgia. VA Tech isn’t close to them

 

[CuseCrew08]

Clemson put our WR's on islands with their 5* corners. Our WR's aren't good enough, yet, to win those battles. They might be good enough to beat VT, BC, and Lvlle corners 1v1 though.

Sean Tucker running for 100+ on a top ten D loaded with 4* and 5* talent should terrify the rest of the teams on our schedule

I absolutely think Wake sold out more to stop Tucker in the second half of that game than Clemson did. It's why Shrader had more room to run. Clemson had more success because they didn't have to sell out as much with better athletes, so they weren't caught out of position.

We absolutely need to pass better. Opportunities were there against Clemson. Guys need to catch the ball when it gets there and Shrader needs to be more accurate.

Excited for Saturday... Here's the VT/Cuse outlook

They are 49th in total defense (80th against the run... salivate Sean!!!)

We are 20th.

We are 63rd in total offense.

They are 120th.

VTech's defense isn't bad, but their rushing defense is bad. Interesting match up for sure. Syracuse will be the best defense VT has faced all season. If we score 20 we might win.

#36 scoring defense (#2 Clemson / #55 Syracuse)
#49 total defense (#24 Clemson / #20 Syracuse
#13 3rd down conversion defense (#29 Clemson / #40 Syracuse)
#80 rushing defense ***** (#27 Clemson / #28 Syracuse)
#37 pass defense (#12 Clemson / #89 Syracuse)
#36 sacks (#35 Clemson / #7 Syracuse)
#78 tackles for loss (#32 Clemson / #18 Syracuse)

Total Offense
#120 VT (#63 Syracuse)

Scoring Offense
#111 VT (#62 Syracuse)

By the numbers we're a way better team but they're favored. We need to find a way to win a game finally. Best way to do that is just score some points early and put it away.

All the numbers say we should win. Not to mention they are falling apart, and fans are on the ready to scream boo-urns.

Their offense will take a deep shot early. Even if they hit it, just keep with the plan. Over 4 quarters they should be stopped most of the time.

We need to go down there, build on what we've been doing, stay mostly mistake free, and win this one without having to make any late game decisions.

NEVER!

I predict 400 yards rushing between Shrader and Tucker. Why? Because I hate VT and Sean Tucker is going to win the Heisman next year and Doak Walker this year.

I hate VT so much... soooooooooooooooooo much.

I once got stuck in Blacksburg during a snowstorm. I would have rather been stuck in Chernobyl.

Are we kidding with this? We win this game. Sean Tucker will be pleased with his game. Shrader gets to finally crack a smile during an interview. Defense gets 7 sacks.

No hedging on this one. Screw VT, Blacksburg, Frank Beamer, Mike Vick, Kevin Jones, DeAngelo Hall, and everyone else that played there..

We win this game going away. Sean Tucker will run over them, around them and through them.

Honestly, I loathe this team.

Don't beat around the bush-Tell me how you really feel about them

Stop bottling up your feelings! It's not healthy. Let out how you really feel. Let it go...

The reason we’re not favored while the numbers generally favor us is recruiting/talent and being home.

But I think they are ready to fold on their HC and VaTech wants to get rid of him…

Yeah, I'm hoping Cuse can administer the coup de grace here on Fuente, like we did with Fedora & Petrino.

If we win this in a romp, he might not last the week.
Let's find out!!!

 

[David321]

Have a cousin who went to VTech, have always been indifferent about that team. Strongly dislike Miami though, always have. Dislike ND the most though.

 

[BANYC]

Are The o linemen healthy and available? Bleich, Servais and Davis?

Just keep Ellis in the lineup, we need to play him the rest of the year.

I do think the Enter Sandman thing is lame though. Glad we’re playing them in the daytime and don’t have to deal with that corny non sense.

Given time, you'll learn to hate VaTech too and round out the trifecta.

Great post! Feel the same way about VT. Hate them and their stupid fanbase.
