Official Chick-fil-A Bowl Game Thread: Tenn vs. Va Tech

[GetEmVols]

Damn you beat me to it genuine ;x

 

[lumberjack4]

How can you even slightly blame that one on Crompton?

Easy he held on to the ball too long. Any more brain busters?

 

[TennVols423]

WTF is Lane doing running the ball?

Sorry Lane, that is terrible playcalling, we did not come to this game to only lose by a little bit.

AFTER4 GAME QUOTE:

we kept it close against the 11th ranked team in the nation (moral victory seems to be the theme)

 

[bleed n orange]

What is he supposed to do? Rush a throw and risk a pick when he's getting dropped? Good call

No but when he's only 8 or 9 yards behind the kine of scrimmage it don't take much to get it past the line of scrimmage

 

[walt2007]

Is Chaney working for VT tonight? That call was asinine, just incredibly stupid. Why not just forfeit the damn game if you're going to run on 3rd and 24 in the fourth quarter trailing by two touchdowns?

 

[volbreaker]

3rd & 24 why run the ball

If they KNOW Cromp has to throw, it'll be a pick

 

[dxhman]

3rd and 24 and we have people complaining about running the ball.....absolutely incredible knowledge of the game folks....I guess Lane should have run a flea flicker,huh????

 

[The Breakerboy]

This game has sucked! poor prepration, in-game adjustments, and play calling.

You've got to be kidding me.

We just ain't got the horses - at least not healthy ones.

D Mo gonna see that ball hit the turf in his sleep for a while.

 

[CardsNVols]

wtf....okay it's 3rd & 24, i know! lets run it! 3rd time we've done that tonight. what is fulmer coaching us again?

 

[BrierVol61]

3rd & 24 why run the ball

more faith in the D to execute than the offense

I agree! Really hard to do much when you turn around and see a Hokie right in your grill! Oh my we need an oline!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Titans4Vols]

Yeah, I'm sure VT wasn't playing for the pass. Pretty much know way we'd throw a pick there.

The difference between a punt and an INT there is what?

Exactly, none at all. You take the shot with the game on the line.

Unless Berry or someone steps up, we've lost.

 

[utvolpj]

dadgum jc your killing us

Yeah if only he had just thrown a perfect deep ball for a td. He sucks and it's all his fault.

This from the guy that supports the coach of "We were just a few plays away from X number of wins".

Lane train is slowing

 

[dickens821]

Cause the pass there is a real high percentage play.

You're down 13. You're a bajillion yards back from the first down. You run the ball? Either you throw it deep and get it, it is intercepted and is basically a punt, or it is incomplete and the clock stops. Running you are pretty much guaranteed to not get the first, the clock keeps running. Not sure how you can be happy with that call.

 

[westtnvol]

How do you propose he throws a deep ball when the oline can't protect him long enough and with the secondary looking for it?

Oh my gosh, I think its a better play than running it. Are we playing to just barely get beat or win. Personally I try to win at anything I do, not barely get beat.

This game has sucked! poor prepration, in-game adjustments, and play calling.

Your crazy...a play here and there and we are right in it...the face mask penalty on the 3rd down sack and the last play of the half hurt, more so than anything is the 6 that Moore dropped.

 

[Smokey213]

3 & out

 

[posivol]

Cause the pass there is a real high percentage play.

throw it deep,no differant than a punt if intercepted.it least you have the opportunity to make a play.

thought you knew this game ?

This from the guy that supports the coach of "We were just a few plays away from X number of wins".

that kind of comment actually might be OK to make in the first year and when you are outgunned by superior competition.

i hope they still aren't saying that a few years from now.

 

[BrierVol61]

man I am ticked off about the dropped ball still..........

 

[sspineda]

Crompton's passes have been on point tonight. Not much has gone well, but after the first drive or two, he has been the only bright spot.
