AbsolutVT03 is spot on.

I find it hilarious that HokiePro thinks we can dictate when we are going to score our TD. I can imagine the conversation on the headsets. Bowen: Hey, I've dialed up a trick play. Pry: Well remember we don't want to score too quickly, so let's run a few lame plays and then we'll score our TD. Our offense hadn't had a pulse the entire first half. You take a score anytime you can get it.

pics of the play nearly everybody hated - the pass back to drones

I suspect part of the failure of this play is about where Drones was...

The linemen laying down was a tell. It’s why the defender was in position

We threw a TD back to Drones against GT with 1:51 left in the first half
clownhokie • 11/10/24 01:25 PM ET
That GT play call was upfield with KD running a route. It had low risk
HokieAl • 11/10/24 04:19 PM ET
In a 7-6 game from the SIX on 2nd and goal not 1st and 10 just inside the

It’s not that we called it…it’s WHEN & WHERE we ran it
hokiepro • 11/10/24 11:35 AM ET
If we score we're up 14-0 on Clemson at home with our D playing lights out.
clownhokie • 11/10/24 12:22 PM ET
Nope. I was saying at the 2:00 timeout, run the ball, trick them later to
hokiepro • 11/10/24 12:29 PM ET
The way our offense was playing you score a TD whenever and however you can

HokieBoy • 11/10/24 12:23 PM ET
Sure if we ran it and busted one on that play I’d take it
hokiepro • 11/10/24 12:10 PM ET
You are trying way too hard to force this into the "game management" issues
AbsolutVT03 • 11/10/24 01:24 PM ET
Well, because of your ALL CAPS at times and ending your post with "period"
clownhokie • 11/10/24 12:35 PM ET
Aggressive creativity is great as an underdog. Yea you want that

I didn't realize one had to be a subscriber to have an opinion. New to me.**

I dropped my sub this last summer for personal reasons if you must know
hokiepro • 11/10/24 01:39 PM ET
Did you have an expert opinion on the GT touchdown to Drones at the time?
clownhokie • 11/11/24 08:17 AM ET
So if we ran Tuten into the line for zero gains on first and second

clownhokie • 11/10/24 01:49 PM ET
Should drones have gone further up field?**
GoldCoast • 11/10/24 11:34 AM ET
farther**

clownhokie • 11/10/24 01:33 PM ET
funny you should ask. another pic.
clownhokie • 11/10/24 11:47 AM ET
It made me wonder if Drones was supposed to catch a lateral and throw again
VictoryTurkey • 11/10/24 03:15 PM ET
That is a valid question.........
2hhoop3 • 11/10/24 08:15 PM ET
If that was supposed to happen on the play, then I would think Drones
VTHokie2000 • 11/10/24 03:30 PM ET
First pass went backward. Any pass after is fine as long as the OLine dont
clownhokie • 11/10/24 04:48 PM ET
You may want to take a look at the pic you posted because the second pass
VTHokie2000 • 11/10/24 06:37 PM ET
UGH. the first pass was 2+ yards backwards. It was a designed play.
clownhokie • 11/10/24 07:18 PM ET
You obviously are missing the point because what you are calling the "first
VTHokie2000 • 11/10/24 07:44 PM ET
I really have no idea what you are trying to post.
clownhokie • 11/10/24 07:59 PM ET
Good stuff. Talk about an being 3-4 yards away...**
GoldCoast • 11/10/24 11:55 AM ET
Yep, if he’s 3-4 yds further upfield and outside it works**
hokiepro • 11/10/24 11:44 AM ET
I didn’t hate the call either. Just defended well by one player.
bmrhokie • 11/10/24 11:24 AM ET
Yup. His defender fell down and he was wide open.But based on the linemen's
