In neither of those cases the DB needed to hold.....the ball was not catch-able.That's now 2 of Clemson's 3 scoring drives where we had stops on 3rd down but the drives were extended by bogus pass interference penalties on clearly uncatchable balls.
I have to agree.Crap. Yet another 3rd down stop negated by a stupid pass interference call. It's pretty comical how bad this secondary is. This is one of the worst VT secondaries I've ever seen.
HR, I know but those fouls were clearly holding penalties. I am just happy that they picked up the flag on the trick play that allowed us to score the first TD.Refs always screw VT in big games.
I bet the refs got together and decided to screw VT.....you ever seen holding before? Your DB's just continue to hold jerseys.Refs always screw VT in big games.
Eventually there were three. worst officiating!!!!!That's now 2 of Clemson's 3 scoring drives where we had stops on 3rd down but the drives were extended by bogus pass interference penalties on clearly uncatchable balls.
Year one of JuFu and his staff. We still have a chance to win 10 games. I'll take that.
My complaint is the middle of the 3rd qtr onwards. Despite having no talent, no running game, no RBs that can block for crap, a patchwork remnant oline, no pocket and no vertical passing game, VT still moved the ball up and down the field at will and scored at will on the #3 team in the country from that time onwards.
The simple fact is, you can game plan and call plays around your weaknesses, as VT proved yet again last night. The Boise States, Utahs and Houstons of the world have been beating top 5 teams for ages now using much less talent than what VT currently has. But if you only call winning plays for 1 qtr a game, then you lose to teams like Syracuse, GT and Clemson, and need miracle comebacks to barely squeak by teams like Pitt, Duke and Notre Dame.
The coaches are obviously bright enough to figure out the right plays. We also obviously have enough talent to score at will when the calls are right. So why does it take 3 qtrs of pure play calling stupidity before our coaches finally get around to putting our players in the proper posititon to succeed?
That's now 6 games this year where the offense has been brilliantly explosive in small spurts but woefully inept for large periods of time. The offensive package to open the game has been pitiful for the most part this year (seriously, an entire week to prepare and your very best opening play is to run up the middle for no gain?????), and the adjustments to get into something that does work have taken far too long, and have cost us several winnable games.
The game plans getting off the bus need to be MUCH better, and if the original game plan turns out to be crap (which has happened a TON this year), then the adjustments to get into something different can't take 3 qtrs to get there. At this level of football, that's wasting way too much time.
