How is it that even G6 teams can find a serviceable passer but VT can’t??
AirborneHokie96 • 08/31/25 07:41 PM ET
Well, we did. We got one from a G6 team. His name was Grant Wells. We

I’ve thought about it since I got some dinner
JHokieD • 08/31/25 07:47 PM ET
Don’t forget how new this team is
Marooned • 08/31/25 08:29 PM ET
But has he improved since he arrived to VT?
AirborneHokie96 • 08/31/25 07:52 PM ET
And he looks slower as a runner without the same power as earlier
Italian Stallion • 08/31/25 08:03 PM ET
He has probably been told to go down quicker to avoid injury**
AirborneHokie96 • 08/31/25 08:06 PM ET
I do t know what game you watched but I thought his passing was on the mark
VBpescador • 08/31/25 07:46 PM ET
What game were you watching. There was the one 3rd and 5 pass that was
HokiesOverGators • 08/31/25 08:25 PM ET
Our WRs made some really fantastic catches as well as some drops...
AirborneHokie96 • 08/31/25 09:00 PM ET
There was only one drop, I agree**
CPVT3 • 08/31/25 08:40 PM ET
Agree completely. This is the first sober take I’ve seen on Drones. **
marcbvtgm • 08/31/25 07:55 PM ET
15-of-35 for 222 yards with two INTs....that's a 42% completion rate
AirborneHokie96 • 08/31/25 07:50 PM ET
He definitely missed some balls but overall i thought his accuracy was good
VBpescador • 08/31/25 09:23 PM ET
1 for 13 passing in opponent’s territory.
hokiemansbro • 08/31/25 08:22 PM ET
There were also several really well thrown 50/50’s that were dropped.
marcbvtgm • 08/31/25 07:58 PM ET
A 50/50 ball isn't an accurate throw...it's a "jump ball" situation
AirborneHokie96 • 08/31/25 08:03 PM ET
A clear first down that was uncontested and dropped. Plus the throw and
40ozDistrict • 08/31/25 08:02 PM ET
Zima...if we count those two, that's still 17 for 36...that isn't good.**
AirborneHokie96 • 08/31/25 08:14 PM ET
What's your deal man? All this jabber jabber and zima talk? You a hoo?**
40ozDistrict • 08/31/25 08:22 PM ET
Don't get triggered Zima. If you dish it out, you need to take it.**
AirborneHokie96 • 08/31/25 08:24 PM ET
No way you a paratrooper. Good riddance leg**
40ozDistrict • 08/31/25 08:56 PM ET
Zima...you were a 5 jump chump, right?**
AirborneHokie96 • 08/31/25 08:58 PM ET
I smell a leg projecting. **
40ozDistrict • 08/31/25 09:53 PM ET
That's a negative Zima**
AirborneHokie96 • 08/31/25 10:00 PM ET
No idea what that means brother. We are on the same team, right? Hokies?
40ozDistrict • 08/31/25 10:15 PM ET
Wrong Zima
AirborneHokie96 • 08/31/25 10:17 PM ET
"threats of physical violence"? Dude you a country club boy, I got you. Out**
40ozDistrict • 08/31/25 10:27 PM ET
Ok Zima**
AirborneHokie96 • 08/31/25 10:29 PM ET
I hear ya...
Chris ColemanAdmin • 08/31/25 07:45 PM ET
You are probably right
Squatro • 08/31/25 08:52 PM ET
That is a ringing endorsement for the players making the coach and not
VTCALS72 • 08/31/25 08:22 PM ET
All the more reason to hire a coach that fits with the player's skillset.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 08/31/25 08:24 PM ET
We failed at that with the OL and it hurt us for years
AirborneHokie96 • 08/31/25 09:01 PM ET
Coaches recruit the players and values them for NIL....**
AirborneHokie96 • 08/31/25 08:24 PM ET
Passer versus Thrower
AirborneHokie96 • 08/31/25 07:53 PM ET
Yep, for the Montgomery offense, that's absolutely accurate.**
Chris ColemanAdmin • 08/31/25 07:58 PM ET
Hoping Garret Rangel can progress fast....**
AirborneHokie96 • 08/31/25 08:09 PM ET
Hoping we see him by let's say Wofford. Get him some action and see
91HokieBob • 08/31/25 08:12 PM ET
And his Dad was a paratrooper with the 82nd..... **
AirborneHokie96 • 08/31/25 08:13 PM ET
Amen
Tailgate Guru • 08/31/25 07:50 PM ET
Wow. An OC who looks better with great QBs. Whodda thought?**
marcbvtgm • 08/31/25 07:47 PM ET
Well, like I've said, a lot of times it's about the fit...
Chris ColemanAdmin • 08/31/25 07:53 PM ET
No doubt that scheme can matter, but scheme was not the issue today.

for one year but newness wearing off may have had more to do with it **
VTCALS72 • 08/31/25 08:23 PM ET
Well, Beamer didn't invite Tranquill back for a second season.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 08/31/25 08:25 PM ET
Yeah, he ended up, unsuccessfully, at UVA, I think**
Jethro Tull • 08/31/25 09:01 PM ET
Actually, Saban hired him at Michigan State after he left VT.

jeff4vt • 08/31/25 08:04 PM ET
I don't know, it's hard to say.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 08/31/25 08:05 PM ET
Sunk cost fallacy. VT stuck with what they know. Should have upgraded **
HokieAl • 08/31/25 07:43 PM ET
Yep. We "invested" so much money last year in him...so we felt like we had
