Great looking crowd. Rough start by the offense.

That knee looked down to me

You beat me to this thread.

The crowd looks like there are more VT fans there than Boiler fans but, that could just be the angle and perception.

10 points down already, might be a long day.

Guess not. I agree with you.

Crowd looks like it had a lot of maroon and orange...

I'm glad Appleby is the starter this way shoop didn't ruin another quarterback

You know the sad thing? You aren't wrong.

 

[boilerpt]

We must be looking ahead to BG.

Replay showed knee was down. Refs decided otherwise. We NEVER get these calls.

Since Tiller left, the other team's offensive plays have worked and ours have not. It is about that simple. We have been bad on both sides of the ball for so long. Both recruiting and coaching have been bad. This is a Virginia Tech team with key injuries, and we still look terrible. On to basketball season.

It's too bad you can't get points for pre-snap motion. We'd be a decent offense.

Recruiting has lacked since Tiller's last few years.

Horribly thrown ball in the end zone by Appleby. Cannot throw it short. Got lucky with penalty. Then open man in end on first down and misses him. Tell me Blough cannot be better.

 

[banshee90]

I like the increased tempo.

 

[BBG]

So our best offense is to just let AA run. Have to give him credit for his toughness and competativeness.

 

[BoilerBulldog]

Defense needs a stop.

Same thing was said last season. Everyone's favorite qb is the backup.... IMO let AA finish the season so Shoop doesn't ruin another qb.

I just wish we would call run plays that actually work. Good drive minus running our rb into a pile

They actually work great when we hold.

 

[BoilerBulldog]

Nice series.

 

[boilerpt]

Very generous spot.

 

[boilerpt]

Why do we soften up on every third down? We basically concede the pass for a first.

 

[boilerpt]

Way to step up defense. Good grief.

 

[UKboiler23]

A terrible offense is going to go 99 yards against us..wow

 

[banshee90]

How does the safety get that burn you have one deep guy and a qb throwing junk

2 guys covering, neither is actually covering

 

[Augie85]

guy was down on the one foot line they spot on the 2 yard marker. holding all over the place no call . Same thing happened to Illinois the entire game blatant holding all game long and no calls. are these ACC officials?

 

[BoilerBulldog]

Alright!!!

 

[BoilerBulldog]

I was convinced that flag was on us...they always are. Awesome stuff.

 

[BoilerStutz]

Great strip!

 

[IndySouthsider]

For the most part they are flat running us over. Their line is better than our line.

 

[banshee90]

Lb play leaves much to be wanted

 

[IndySouthsider]

Well go for the strip why tackle right?

 

[boilerpt]

Missed tackles are killing us, again.

 

[BoilerBulldog]

Our tackling (or lack thereof) has been brutal so far.

 

[IndySouthsider]

Purdue is an awesome FCS team.

 

[Augie85]

holding? looked like the old ND push off the defender that never gets called

 

[Augie85]

Our tackling (or lack thereof) has been brutal so far.

looks like flag football

 

[boilerpt]

Did I hear that correctly? We have a single punt that went for more yardage than our offense so far.

 

[banshee90]

Who gave shoop the mic again

 

[Augie85]

terrible.
