Until Chance Hall is healthy, LT is going to be a liability. Not trying to bash Richmond but he has some work to do. Good news is that he is going to be able to get better.

Weismann needs to be C and Jack Jones needs to be at RG until then.

hahaha frigging turnovers man.

Neyland's Maxims coming into full effect tonight:

1: The team that makes the fewest mistakes will win.

VT turnovers, penalties, kicking miscues, etc.

2. Play for and make the breaks and when one comes your way - SCORE.

I started writing this and we had only scored 7 points off fumbles. We have now scored 21 points off of fumbles. Good job capitalizing. We need to put on steam once we are ahead. This is probably one of everyone's two biggest frustrations with Butch.

3. If at first the game - or the breaks - go against you, don't let up... put on more steam.

Lost the crap out of that first quarter. Thanks to some riling up by Sheriron and a few plays, we put on more steam and have rolled since 15:00 in.

4. Protect our kickers, our QB, our lead and our ball game.

Need to protect QB more.

I will say this. Butch protects the crap out of the lead and the ball game once we are ahead. To a fault most of the time. But it is a bigger deal when it blows up.

5. Ball, oskie, cover, block, cut and slice, pursue and gang tackle... for this is the WINNING EDGE.

Done a good job of doing the small things tonight. The punt that bounced off of the back of the foot, gang tackling to make up for missed tackles and not wrapping up, jumping on loose balls, etc. Need to block better.

6. Press the kicking game. Here is where the breaks are made.

Done a good job here. Haven't been able to return but one punt, but Cam made something happen. Pressed the punt game and the KO game. Made a few big stops at the 10, 15 yard line. Gave up a couple big returns though as well. Need to improve here a bit. Hope EB29 comes back healthier than he's been.

7. Carry the fight to our opponent and keep it there for 60 minutes.

We forgot about the first 15. Realized the game isn't over until its over and have continued pushing.

Hate to say it, but Florida is going to give up all kinds of problems up front on offense. Hopefully Butch and Debord are already scheming something up for that. Or maybe Chance Hall will be back.

Encouraging win today. We caught a lot of breaks, but this is a great confidence builder. 45-3 run from being down 14-0 lol.
