Let the offense loose to do its thing now!

VT had no business kicking that. That was coward football. Glad they did, though.

It was a little to resilient

 

[dduncan4163]

Happy Kongbo is ok

 

[lilesrt]

Ok, Debord.. We need a sustained drive. No 3 and outs.

 

[governmentmule]

missed it

come on Dobbs

 

[Catbone]

I go for that EVERY TIME if I had the ball there. Tennessee defense looks weak

 

[qb19]

The air is out of the Hokie's tire. Way to withstand their best shot defense.

 

[Stevie Janowski]

Callin it...play action pass to P Willie. Endzone baby!!!

Stevie aint never wrong.

 

[Forever151]

If it's over 40 and u need less then 3 . U go for it everytime

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

I'm not liking what I'm seeing on the tackling front. They did such a good job with that last year.

 

[JohnD13]

This defense is a joke.

First series of the game. LOL. Sorry for you

 

[joevol33]

JRM has missed like 3 tackles. Tighten up man

Probably scared he'll get ejected again.

 

[ETV]

I think this defense will look much better against a pro style offense with a typical drop back QB.

 

[GAVol]

No idea why didn't they go for that.

 

[Persian Vol]

We need to take better angles at tackling. A lot of missed tackles.

 

[GuntherVol]

What's the elevation at Bristol? Maybe we will see some sweet punts.

 

[top5vols]

Shoop get it together.

 

[Pacer92]

Tackling is laughable

Yep...

 

[MADISONGAVOL]

Defense still has tackling issues. Hope they look better

 

[YankeeVol]

I go for that EVERY TIME if I had the ball there. Tennessee defense looks weak

Butch would have punted

 

[KBVol]

Where is all this aggressive, pressure defense that Shoop promised? I'm a little confused.

 

[Godfatha]

Chill, they have a very difficult offense to defend against. I wish our offense looked as varied as that.

 

[Vol Kilmer]

Got lucky there. C'mon Dobbs let's see them ribs!

 

[T-for-Tennessee]

Just starting pouring in Karns. This game will not be dry.

 

[DCompagnucci]

Happy Kongbo is ok

Yes, now hoping he'll actually make a tackle this year.
