Thanks for the updates.

This delay feels like Oregon 2013

Hush!!

 

[LaagerVol]

Can someone give me an injury update? At the game and we don't get those. TIA.

Ty Chandler is out. They didn’t say but knee to helmet looked like concussion or neck strain to me.

Trey got right ankle taped up and was back out there.

That’s all I’ve seen so far.

I waited 9 months for this game. Delay is killing me.

 

[VolGee4]

Would if I could

Gives you time to watch the game at the reception and drink some beer.

 

[Kingston Vol]

Been interesting to see Trey move around. He was at RT on the goal line and think I’ve seen him at LG as well.

Carvin was a really stabilizing force inside.

Time of possession 21 minutes for UT to 9 for WV

Makes me a little sick. We really had them where we needed them to have a chance to win. This along delay really helps them. They are probably getting IV fluids and electrolytes to get re-energized for the 2nd half.

Yeah he blocked down on the one play and our TE and H-back both missed their blocks.

Who is 88? He has looked horrible blocking

 

[Kingston Vol]

I don’t think I’ve seen our TE’s make a good lead block yet. We’ve left a lot of yards on the field.

By the same token, Grier has missed two sure touchdowns so it probably evens out.

Yep it sucks.

Did you completely miss the beautiful block made by Wolf to help Jordan get the first down?

THEY FIRES HAVE BEEN LIT! WEST VIRGINIA CALLS FOR AID!

Those 300,000 WVU alumni in Charlotte are casting weather spells into the atmosphere!

This is true.

 

[Vols2DaWall]

We need much better pass rush and to actually tackle Grier when we get to him. O-line not matching WVUs physicality

I don't know if I'm thinking about the one you're talking about, but I know I've seen at least one good TE block.

Anything in the first quarter is being erased from my memory though.

 

[LaagerVol]

I feel like most of the OL issues have been missed assignments, miscommunication and uncertainty rather than just flat out getting whipped.

It's hard to get through the o-line and the PEDs.

Its hard to get through their line when they’re blatantly holding and not getting called for it.

Yea, Kennedy’s first whiff looked like he took a wrong step and just missed his assignment.

 

[HankHill]

First half Observations.

-JG is playing damn good.
- we finally started to get some pressure towards the end.
-Young DBs are doing a great job of pressing their WRs messed up their timing a few times
-Jordan is running super physical.
-we gassed their defense just by haven a couple long drives. They are out of shape.

I like our chances in the 2nd half.

 

[bdubcoastievol55]

Definitely agree. The7 minute long drive they looked like they got a little nasty streak to them. All in all a lot more physicality in 30 minutes of play than what I've seen in years. JG is standing tall. Tim Jordan looks strong and is making first person miss. Wide receivers making catches and being strong with ball. Would like to see more physicality with the front seven and secondary pressing receivers at the line. All in all I know its early in the season I like what I've seen. Obviously there's always improvements to be made but I see some solid discipline and toughness

 

[tomq_123]

We need a stop, hopefully 3 and out to start the 2nd half. Then another long drive to wear out their defense. We can win this.

Not sure. Will be hard for their D to get to full go again. With that time of possession. Rest only does so much
