Our offense wasn't up to the task. Needed them to be close to perfect. They weren't. But some uber young D folks got some solid experience. This year was already a wash .... so there's that.

Only losing by 7, with only 5 D linemen available, and our best LB out? I'm ok with it.

I thought Louisville looked good and gave VT a tough game. Keep in mind, though, that the Hokies were also missing 10 players, including their best cover CB and both starting DEs IIRC. Who knows what it would've been like if both teams had been at full strength? I wish we could see that happen...


You are right --- it would be nice to see how this game would have transpired with both teams at full strength.

And I wouldn't have raised the issue if our attrition wasn't so focused on one position group. Take 9 players off our offense and defense, instead of just our defense, and it stings, but not so dramatically.

After a couple of bumps (which you'd expect with any coaching transition) to start out, I think Fuente has the ship going the right direction. I expect big things from the Hokies going forward.

Good luck the rest of the way.

I will be a big Cardinals fan next weekend!
