That would pose a problem, but we have a guy named CJ.I was thinking about Malena catching passes out of the backfield

Seriously man, VA Tech's defense is magnitudes better than A&M's. Our OLine will be fine against them, and will have plenty of time to work out kinks before we face another front 7 anywhere near Tech's caliber (LSU).Our D will be tired because of an inept O. It will not be the D's fault! I hope I am WRONG. I saw nothing from the offense that makes me think they will be clicking in 2 weeks.
They'll try, but they really aren't that talented. They might end up hurting themselves even more if they try to mimic the scheme of a team with a lot more depth and talent at those positions.I assume the OL will be practicing against slants and stunts the next two weeks? Because I can almost guarantee aTm will mirror what VT did.
Oh yeah, May said they were correctable mistakes but they need to be corrected rather quickly.Could have simply been first game jitters. This would obviously be something the coaches would teach against all off season, but inexperienced players are prone to revert to bad habits when they are under the spot light. Seeing themselves screw up on true game film will help tremendously, IMO.
Why do you say our defense will be tired. Do you not think we can get their offense off the field? Do you really think our offense will continue to go 3 and out as with VT's very strong defense?
Yes. Do you not remember LSU in 2010 and 2011?I'll just ask one question. Has a Nick Saban coached team ever lost to any opponent team in consecutive seasons?
No? I didn't think so.
and just remind him that his autograph isn't gonna be worth poo after the game.I hope they'll look him up and down, shrug their shoulders and walk away...
I was not very happy with the bye week until I saw this game. Lot of film to digest on missed assignments and breakdowns. I don't think the line will get it completely together for A&M as I think it's gonna be a work in progress all season, but I don't see them having near the breakdowns just for the simple fact that real game breakdowns are much easier to critique and fix than Fall camp issues."VT's very strong defense" is the key here. I do not believe that TA&M will be able to force 3 and outs so frequently. Our OL will get it together by TA&M.
Same here. I wasn't real happy with the bye week being this early either 'til witnessing Saturday's game. We need it. I'll withhold judgment on the aTm defense because of all the defensive starters that were missing. I believe there were something like 6 players from the starting defense suspended.I was not very happy with the bye week until I saw this game.

I agree with you, Ii there is one positive to take from this game, it is VT has a pretty salty defense. Just from watching A&M, they are not in the same ballpark. Maybe if they get some of their starters back.
I have to agree. Rice rolled up 300 yds on the ground against A&M. In looking at their depth chart they are real thin with a lot of freshman as backups. On top of that the suspensions mean some of their starters will have no game reps prior to our game.That is because you were watching the wrong thing. You should have been watching atm's defense against Rice. And what you were watching was not Bama's offense against atm's defense. VT has one. atm doesn't.
That's what one of the announcers was saying during their game. They lost a lot on defense and the depth behind them isn't anything to write home about. They are very thin on defense regarding depth.Yeah. I think the Rice showing is worse than their actual non-short handed defense but they were already replacing most of their front this year from 2012. It demonstrates how thin they are.
