I finally went back and watched the game on DVR last night. You miss a lot from the stands due to several reasons: distance from field, alcohol consumed, environment (you're looking at the entire scene vs. what TV focusses on).

So after seeing it on TV, if I had $5 for every time Herbstreit said, "VT is rushing 3 and dropping 8..." I'd be loaded.

Coaches say the biggest improvement comes from week 1 to week 2. I hope our best improvement has yet to come.

Not trying to beat a dead horse but man he said that a lot Sat. night.

Simply that VT was able to have a great amount of success vs our OL by only rushing 3. This was still a ballgame with 10 minutes to go when the VT player fumbled the punt which led to the TD that put VT away.

Just my take after watching it on TV. I now see the outrage from a lot on here...considering Herbie was constantly pointing it out.

If a team rushes 3 and gets pressure you will be limited on offense. There is no coaching scheme to solve this problem. The linemen must block, no alternative. If they do solve the problem we will be back to scoring 40 plus without the other team self destructing. Just keep switching them around coach!

Volnation...where Negavols go out of their way to find the bad and point it out consistently.

Volnation...where sunshine pumpers refuse to believe that all is not well.

Volnation...where our fanbase has been used to seeing crap on the field for so long, they have forgotten what it is like to support a winning team.

What do you type, to get the augmented Flo in blue-blouse, running from the burning Mel's Diner?

I was at the game and fast forwarded through most of the replay at home. But, VTech was stacking the box earlier in the game, just like on Malone's TD catch. I clearly remember Herbstreit making this observation.

I am sure VTech rushed 3 and dropped 8 in 3rd and long. We had several series where we either got penalized or lost yards and ended up in 3rd and longs. That's the correct thing to do against our OL. It just means we need to do a better job of staying ahead of the chains, but that's basic football for every team.
