[TU 1978]

Let's gooooooooooooo, TU!

 

[TU 1978]

46 seconds into the game, TU leads 7-0 on run by Brewer.

 

[TU_BLA]

And the Staples button said "That was easy"

 

[TU 1978]

As was VT's run.

 

[JesseTU]

And may the least pathetic defense win...

 

[noble cane]

Uh.... Defense? Anyone?

 

[TU 1978]

We need our defense to step up.

 

[scottz3]

This is crazy......

 

[TU_BLA]

This is like arena football

 

[t-townpod]

Defensive stand!

 

[t-townpod]

Still one of the worst defenses I have ever seen. Not sure if defensive talent or coaching but I would be looking for coaching help. Hard to be this bad.

 

[TU 1978]

Awful defense. Step it up!

 

[panicstricken]

its so hard to watch our defense.

 

[panicstricken]

i just don't understand why none of our guys ever wrap up

 

[TU 1978]

Time for the offense to wake up.

 

[TU Sepp]

Our defense sucks! Recruiting pitch..."If you can tackle, you can start"!

VA Tech is stacking the box now. Runs are going for a loss as often as +3. Win or lose in the air, until we scare them back out of the box.

 

[bigzit]

VT could yell out its play before every snap and still destroy Tulsa's high school defense.

TU's defensive lack of talent is on Bill Blakenship and the TU Admin that didn't fire his ass a year earlier.

 

[JesseTU]

Man coverage on Gerret, we run Langer into an 8 man box for 1. I will never get that. Why, God, why do we do that so often.

Then a smart play away from that front and we score.

 

[TU Sepp]

TU is going to have to score 80 points to win this game!!!

 

[TU Sepp]

I think if we had Coach Wojcik's defense that we could win this game!!!

 

[Tulsa76]

Interference is our best defense against the deep pass!

 

[JesseTU]

I think if we had Coach Wojcik's defense that we could win this game!!!

Maybe... But the 58 points his team put on the board might not be enough.

 

[cmullinsTU]

This reminds me of the UTEP game from 2008, 28-28 at the end of its first quarter.

 

[Tulsa76]

How many more seasons before we get an average defense?

 

[TU 1978]

That's pretty hokie.

First time I have ever agreed with Bigzit

 

[panicstricken]

just think about how good we will be in a few years when we have a defense

 

[Rjjackson4]

We know TU have to score a lot of points just to have a chance at winning

 

[JesseTU]

Award for most obvious hold.not called...

 

[panicstricken]

good grief

 

[TU Sepp]

The 2 teams just set an Independence Bowl record of 460+ yards of total offense in the 1st quarter...

 

[TU 1978]

Rushing works best for VT. Their QB looks like Cody Green.

 

[JesseTU]

OK...

15 yard cushion on 3rd and 8 is retarded. Yes...the dreaded R word.

Also, wildcat IS ALWAYS A RUN. It. Is. ALWAYS. A run. Spy the snap man and tackle him.

Defense fail. The massive cushions have been a year long trend. Lack of speed compensation? Have to imagine if I see it, our coaches do.

 

[Tulsa76]

Wow! A team that can actually run the wildcat!

 

[panicstricken]

what a mess

 

[barrister1602]

Rushing works best for VT. Their QB looks like Cody Green.

I wish their QB was that bad

 

[TU_BLA]

Why is our DB 15 yds off the LOS on a 3rd & 8 vs the only WR who can catch?

Seriously, we all needed to ask Santa for some DBs in this recruiting class. 4-5 guys who can play next year

 

[I.I.]

Brian Norwood......?????

 

[TU Sepp]

TU defense is putting on a clinic for how not to play defense...
