Ryan and BC need to test V Tech deep to open up the middle and underneath routes

V Tech isn't dropping anyone really

Why is it that when it starts raining teams from the East Coast seem to act like scoring or even moving the ball is suddenly impossible? It was raining quite hard in Seattle last Saturday... I'm just saying...

Actually what happens is when it starts raining most coaches panic and change the gameplan they set up the whole week. Did BC really plan on trick plays all week? I doubt it, unless they really really wanted to make or break the 1st quarter by getting an early score and quieting this crowd.

I'm pretty sure BC paniced with their game plan and has been lucky to not give up a score yet.

VaTech, stop getting pretty with those passes, THOSE HOGS UP FRONT WANT TO RUN!

Edit: well they have to keep their feet when they are blocking.

terrible unsportsmanlike penalty call

just awful

everyone does that sort of stuff

it's a penalty for all or not at all

that is an official inserting himself where he doesn't need to

I hate those kinds of BS calls. That was not unsportsmanlike conduct.

Needle77 · #36 10-25-2007, 08:33 PM

I feel like the Ref thought that the DL was doing it to an offensive player. I actually had no problem with it because I thought he was too.

Its def harder to throw the ball with the same success in the rain as you can in good weather, so I wouldn't really kill Ryan if he has looked bad. VT's very good defense also has a lot to do with it though. That being said it isn't impossible to throw the ball in the rain, just makes it a bit more difficult.

I agree with Needle about the advantage for the Offense, and I think that is mainly in the running game. I don't think the offensive line has an advantage in pass pro blocking in bad weather, more of a disadvantage, but it really isn't that big of a deal if the field is kept in good form.

no catch...he doesn't control the ball until out of bounds

close

BobJoeJim · #39 10-25-2007, 08:36 PM

That's close, but I think his foot comes up before possession...

Needle77 · #40 10-25-2007, 08:36 PM

Didn't we learn last week that, that is clearly offensive pass interference?
