If we won that game I would still be screaming about the defense.
Poor run defense and repeated wide open receivers on identical crossing patters was nauseating.

Drew and the offense had some rust, but man our defense looked poor.
I do believe we have the talent to fix the situation.
Probably good we lost to humble the team. I felt everyone was sounding too cocky!!!

This is the one hope I have after today's embarrassment. Hopefully this lit a fire under the team.

Interestingly, Frank Beamer FINALLY stopped running the ball up the middle on every single play last night and my Hokies wound up upsetting Ohio State. When will SP learn the opposite lesson: it's okay to run every once in a while. You don't have to outsmart the opposition on every freaking play. Sometimes just buckle the chin strap and pound the rock.

(As a disclaimer, I did not see the game today as it was not on TV in WI, so I am basing my critique only on what others have said here in the forum)
