Fans have been saying Coach Fu threw players under the bus with general realistic comments that pale in comparison to Anae. The fact of the matter is this year's team is what it is and the coaches have been honest all year about it. We can beat up on the weaker teams, but can't hang yet with Clemson, U, and even GT. GT is not a bad team. Their D under Ted Roof is good and Roof has always given VT problems. Throw in the travel delay, losing a day of rest/rehab, traveling again to Atlanta for early kick..
The players and coaches weren't sharp. And to be clear, the 2 long TD pass plays given up and could have been a 3d on opening play are player failed execution. Playing the run, looking in backfield thus losing leverage on cover responsibilities. These types of failed execution combined with some confusing play calling and decision making equals what we got-a self inflicted close loss to a good GT team who historically always plays us close. O personally think VT gets back on track for the last 2 games. NO WAY the seniors go out at Lane and at hoova playing like yesterday. Just not happening. We still have a lot to play for.
