The weather forecast for Blacksburg looks terrible. I remember another bad weather day in Hokieland a few years back. That ended well. I don't need the same dramatics now...just another win. Leave your thoughts and comments on the game below.

Here we go Eagles. Here we go.
ReplyDeleteLooks like BC-VT on ESPN3 blacked out in Mass. and most of NY?!
ReplyDeleteLooks like Va Tech has been watching some film. Our pass defense is horrible.
ReplyDeletejust an atrocious first drive for the defense. embarrassing.
ReplyDeleteOur offense is going to have to score a lot of points today.
ReplyDeleteWell that defensive series was laughable. Expect more of the same.
ReplyDeletewow that is bad defense
ReplyDeleteEl Miz,
ReplyDeleteGreat offensive scheme by Va Tech. Our defense has been vulnerable to the pass all season. The only reason USC lost to us is because they were stupid and went away from the pass.
I don't like the feel of November for this team. Bowl eligibility is going to come down to the Syracuse game and that makes me extremely uncomfortable given our history with them.
Boy, I know everyone loves Murphy but his stats on 3rd down are horrific. He just can't lead the offense to convert 3rd downs.
ReplyDeleteOK, if we don't at least get a field goal here, I'm going to be irate.
ReplyDeleteI am officially irate.
ReplyDelete1st and 20 and you are running the ball? Huh?
ReplyDeleteOn a cold, rainy day, on the road, no one ever looks back and regrets blowing amazing field position with back to back false starts...
ReplyDeleteThat drive was killed by the penalties. Should not be doing that this late in the season.
ReplyDeleteHowell saving the day.
ReplyDeleteThis is sort of what I expected. We need to stick to the run and zone reads with Murphy. We cannot beat them through the air.
C'mon guys, enough with the penalties.
ReplyDeleteHilliman should have cut it inside on the 1st down and I think he could have netted a few yards instead of losing 1.
ReplyDeleteHilliman looks so tentative. He slows down going into the hole and loses all of his momentum. He's wasting one of his best tools.
ReplyDeleteLooks like BC was out to prove you wrong there Atl.
ReplyDeleteI feel a little better but we have had great field position and have only come up with 7 points. The defense is going to have to defend a shorter field which means Tech will be able to open it up more.
ReplyDeleteoh my, the pass defense is bad news so far... will don brown adjust??
ReplyDeleteBad special teams followed by a big play over the middle. Ugh.
ReplyDeleteBC is making way too many mistakes to win today. The drive killing penalties, poor kickoff coverage and missed assignments in the passing game are fixable, but they better start executing.
ReplyDeleteHate the DB's leading with shoulder to hit instead of wrapping.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't that have been an illegal pick and not the easy TD this announcer is saying?
ReplyDeleteWTF was Dudek thinking on that kickoff?
ReplyDeleteAnother stupid mistake. A fair catch on a kickoff??
ReplyDeleteGet Hilliman out of there. Not his day.
ReplyDeleteWe need a stop on this drive or the game could get away from us.
ReplyDeleteThe whole season could get away from us. We are looking at 0 for November if we lose this game.
ReplyDeleteagree ATL. need defense to do something here
ReplyDeleteon O, need to throw more....to unpack the box...
We need to play much better the rest of the way.
ReplyDeletenice.. a STOP!?????
ReplyDelete68 yard TD
ReplyDeleteYAY
That was a Dude drive by the defense. Now the offense needs to get going.
ReplyDeletewillis faster than i thought
ReplyDeleteI've said all year that willis needs more touches. Great run for that kid.
ReplyDeleteThat is why you stick with the run when they stack the box.
ReplyDeleteThanks for getting Hilliman out there and replacing him with Willis!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteNow the defense is pumped. Confounded why Tech is running so much.
ReplyDeleteI don't think Alston called a fair catch there, announcer man.
ReplyDeleteI thought he did. He refs clearly disagreed.
ReplyDeleteBoy, Murphy is elusive.
ReplyDeleteDo we go for it on 4th down?
ReplyDeleteNow, Tech is making the mistakes. I'll take that.
ReplyDeleteMike Knoll looks terrified in his team picture. Not s good look for a kicker.
ReplyDeleteAnd dammit hilliman, stop dancing.
Ridiculous play call. Way too long to develop.
ReplyDeleteMissed blocks on that 4th down and a really deep handoff.
ReplyDeleteNot sure why Tech keeps running.
ReplyDeleteShould have just sneaked it with Murphy like the last time.
ReplyDeleteField the ball!
ReplyDeleteTech probably wishes they had their timeouts. With us pinned so deep, they could get the ball back with great field position and plenty of time.
ReplyDeleteDammit, now Tech will get the ball back with a great chance to go up heading into the locker room. Not capitalizing on that last drive is haunting.
ReplyDeleteStill have great field position and most likely should get points.
ReplyDeleteSpecial teams kills again.
ReplyDeleteMore kick coverage blues. You would think after almost 2 years this would get fixed.
ReplyDeleteAnd why is one of their best defensive players on special teams?
ReplyDeleteLots of mistakes in this half. Not going to win on the road in the ACC playing like this.
ReplyDeleteAnd, shit, now Simmons is hurt. We have no one else that can play corner.
Daniels blew pass coverage again.
ReplyDeleteLucky end to the half. Not a great half, but not terrible.
ReplyDeleteOK, we just played one of the worst 1st halves of the year and we are up by 4. Lots of correctable mistakes. Defense had one bad drive and then played lights out. Offense left a lot of points on the field. If they can step up their play, I think BC can get this critical road win.
ReplyDeleteI want to see less Hilliman and more Willis in the 3rd quarter.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to see BC start running a real option, even a triple option. Get both Hilliman and Willis/Alston out there. Maximize your weapons.
ReplyDeleteBC had 8 negative yardage plays in the first half.
ReplyDelete8 negative yardage plays on 1st down.
ReplyDeleteMake that 9
ReplyDeleteAwesome play by Alston!
ReplyDeleteCrap, he's hurt.
That was one of the worst non-pass interference calls I've ever seen.
ReplyDeleteWhat is up with this terrible play calling on first down?! A jumbo set? Really?!
ReplyDeleteAnd more drops. Pathetic.
ReplyDeleteWow, if we had a decent passing quarterback, he could obliterate this defense. They are putting 10 guys in the box. The one dimensional offense has cost us 2 games this year. Let's hope it is not a third.
ReplyDeleteterrible drop. Too many little things in this game.
ReplyDeleteQuick pass on first down should do the trick.
ReplyDeleteBC needs to hold an open tryout for kicker or poach a benchwarmer from the soccer team. This is absolutely ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteCan we have open tryouts for a place kicker? Please!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat kept Tech within 2 scores of tying. Critical, critical mistake.
Nice drive. We should give up on the PAT and go for 2. We have a putrid kicker and a great goal line offense
ReplyDeleteTouchdown would've been nice, but I am glad we made the kick.
ReplyDeleteLet's fake the field goal
ReplyDeleteThe big problem here is Va Tech is 2 scores from taking the lead. Our offense needed a TD on that drive.
ReplyDeleteOffense inside the 10 is way too predictable esp the first down runs up the middle.
ReplyDeleteI hate complaining about the refs, but they have been terrible today. Not calling it both ways.
ReplyDeleteHere's where the defense begins it's meltdown.
ReplyDeleteDumb by Keyes too.
ReplyDeleteKeyes, stupid, stupid, stupid penalty!!
ReplyDeleteThat was a clean hit by Kavalec
ReplyDeleteStop that jumbo package crap! Hasn't worked once yet today.
ReplyDeleteSo freaking predictable
ReplyDeleteWe need at least 1 more score.
ReplyDeleteWho has the wind in the 4th?
ReplyDeleteHuge call by Beamer there. I am so surprised by our ST inconsistency.
ReplyDeleteYet another brutal mistake. You know Beamer Ball is going to pull this crap.
ReplyDeleteWell we know which team is playing to win. Nice fake.
ReplyDeleteOffense and special teams are killing us today. Can't blame the defense.
ReplyDeleteDamn you Brown. Third and long and a three man rush. Converted every damn time.
ReplyDeleteEvery game is the same. Send the pressure!
ReplyDeleteI have a really, really bad feeling about this game.
ReplyDeleteI can almost guarantee you Brown will trot out the defense he used against CSU and Wake in the 4th. Playing not to lose. Grow a pair and play to win.
ReplyDeleteThe meltdown has started. Only a matter of time with Brown calling the 4th quarter plays.
ReplyDeleteI don't know why we do this to ourselves. Here we go again. Let's go offense. Time and points here.
ReplyDeleteOne dimensional offense is going to cost us another game.
ReplyDeleteLook for Day to go even more conservative on offense.
ReplyDeleteNot scoring a TD on that fumble recovery inside the 10 was brutal. Then again, with all of the stupid mistakes in this game, I am not sure BC deserves to win.
ReplyDeleteThe über conservatism is going BC another game. Can't fault te players for suck crappy 4th quarter play calling on both sides of the football.
ReplyDeleteTyping on a phone isn't very effective. Youch.
ReplyDeleteAnother jumbo set. Another disaster.
ReplyDeleteAnother negative play on first down.
ReplyDeleteThe BC OLine has not been crisp today.
ReplyDeleteThat was a bad series. Don't mind the play calls but the execution was not good.
ReplyDeleteAnother jumbo set eagle. That's why. Turning this crap off now. They're toast.
ReplyDeleteFirst down was a disaster atl. Move away from the jumbo set!
ReplyDeleteWhy don't they block anyone?
ReplyDeleteHow about a screen play since they are being so aggressive?
I hate to say this because I love this staff but they are being out-coached today.
This season is such a shame since we have lost 2 and are on the verge of a 3rd because we present zero passing threat. I really feel if this goes down as a loss, we are looking at 0 for November. This team has to somehow find a way to win this game or the season is toast.
ReplyDeleteThe coordinators esp Brown learn nothing game to game and make the same stupid moves in the 4th quarter.
ReplyDeleteAnother team figures out Brown's blitz by the 4th quarter again.
ReplyDeleteNot even that eagle. It's 4th quarter meltdowns caused by way too conservative play calling.
ReplyDeleteGotta tip your hat to Va Tech. They are being much more aggressive and will win as a result.
ReplyDeleteHow was there no holding on that?
ReplyDeleteHow do they not call holding on that play?
ReplyDeleteThe refs have been blowing a quick whistle all day for VT. Until now.
ReplyDeleteThis is brutal. Need something from somebody. The whole team didn't show up for the 4th quarter.
ReplyDeleteThanks coaching staff for blowing another. Wife who knows a nothing about football just asked why that always happens. Even she has more of a damn clue than the coaches.
ReplyDeleteWhen you play not to lose you always lose.
ReplyDeleteOh well, In August, I thought we would only win 4 this year, so 5 is a bonus.
ReplyDeleteThe wind is with BC, not that it matters.
ReplyDeleteMore jumbo package! Wtf?!!!!!
ReplyDeleteIf Bud Foster doesn't adjust to the jumbo something big is coming.
ReplyDeleteOf course I jinxed us.
ReplyDeleteThat never fucking works. Stop the jumbo!
ReplyDeleteWow. I didn't think that had a chance.
ReplyDeleteGet a damn clue Day
ReplyDeleteHowell!!!!!
ReplyDeleteNow it is all on the defense. Tech has plenty of time and all they need is a field goal.
So aggravating. They don't want to win with this play calling.
ReplyDeleteThat was just a matter of time the way they crowded the line all day.
ReplyDeleteMove away from the jumbo and you get a touchdown. Ha.
ReplyDeletebrad bates was there to congrat Murphy on the TD... catch that!
ReplyDeleteway to support the team !
Murphy is clearly hurt. He showed guts on that last run. If he can't run it, we can't just keep running into the line.
ReplyDeleteTouchdown!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteMight have just saved the season there.
Defense, make them work. Do not let them score in under a minute.
ReplyDeletea sack is needed
ReplyDeleteThe qb ran out of bounds. Why did the clock start? Not complaining, but that seemed strange.
ReplyDeleteDaniels is absolutely atrocious in pass coverage.
ReplyDeleteNot over yet, but at least the defense made them work off a lot of clock.
ReplyDeleteThank you Tyler Murphy!
ReplyDeleteugly win.
torture
and wonderful
bowl eligible!
That was an ugly onside kick.
ReplyDeleteTough, tough road win. Extremely ugly, but now we are bowl eligible.
ReplyDeleteWe are perfect on the road this year!
Every game is gravy from here on out. Absolutely no pressure on this team.
I can finally breath!
ReplyDeleteCan we beat Louisville? They really played well against Florida State and we barely beat the worst team in the Coastal Division.
ReplyDeleteI'm traveling to Alumni so I am hoping for a win.
"One dimensional offense is going to cost us another game."
ReplyDelete"Thanks coaching staff for blowing another."
Nice attitude guys.
Thank you Tyler Murphy.
ReplyDeleteThank you, crappy on-side kick. (Agree with ATL)
Go BC - beat Louisville.
You have to hold your nose at the end of the game over the kicking game. A 21 yd punt albeit against the wind is bad. Both d ends were completely undisciplined and did not hold their positions. Time and again, Brewer spun outside past the ends to "live another day". Florida State will absolutely eat the ends alive. The d played well. Bordner blocked well but he can't catch a lick without the gloves. Once again, Murphy saved the day. Contrats to the "surfer".
ReplyDeleteLet's hope Murphy can heal up this week. Big home test next week, but I think we can beat Louisville.
ReplyDeleteAny time you leave lane stadium with a win, it's a good win.
Joseph, we barely beat the worst team in the Coastal. That was not a good game by BC. Penalties, mistakes, inability to pass the ball. Failure to convert 3rd downs. The only reason we won is because Va Tech is horrible.
ReplyDeleteIf we have a Crane or a Hasselbeck at qb today, they would have shredded that defense and made them pay for crowding the line.
Also, Joseph, we lost to a mediocre Pitt team and a mid-major in CO State.....at HOME. Why, because we could not pass the ball.
ReplyDeleteMurphy had to pull out a miracle with his legs to get the win today. Absolutely cannot play like that over the next two games or we will get blown out.
eagleboston - teams load the box against BC because we can't/don't pass. if we had a QB who could pass, and we did pass successfully, they would not stuff 10 in the box. So if Crane were our QB, VT would not have had 10 in the box. Capice.
ReplyDeleteJospeh, just enjoy a win with out faulting others. ya know, that whole free to express emotional, temporary opinions on a blog.... Capice
VT is always tough. Bud Foster is always a force to be reckoned with. Happy to win on the road...
Ignore the troll.
ReplyDeleteyes, good advice BB
ReplyDelete" The only reason we won is because Va Tech is horrible."
ReplyDelete"Also, Joseph, we lost to a mediocre Pitt team and a mid-major in CO State.....at HOME. Why, because we could not pass the ball."
"ospeh, just enjoy a win with out faulting others. ya know, that whole free to express emotional, temporary opinions on a blog.... Capice"
Yah, I certainly Capice. You folks can dump all over the players and the coaches, but don't want anyone to call you on it. Send your comments to the team with your names and contact info. They won. They were the underdog. They are bowl bound. Two years ago they couldn't buy a win, yet they are not good enough for you. What the hell do you want and expect? What is a 'temporary" opinion? You must be a politician. The team deserves better than the three blind mice you with your hypercritical negativity
Joseph don't worry about eagleboston. He has been saying bad things about murphy all year and how they can't win with him as quaterback. He was even stupid enough to suggest they move him to WR.LOL The funny things is...they keep winning with MURPHY at QB.
ReplyDeleteJeremy, don't feed the Troll Joseph.
ReplyDeleteEagleBoston is an enthusiastic fan who is not necessarily the most consistent commenter....but maybe the most interested fan here. Consistency, of course, is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesman and divines, like Joseph.
Wow I am properly put down. I'll opt for silly negativity and always follow your leads. thanks for showing the true values of BC sports. Never to excel.
ReplyDeleteI would definitely agree that he is not consistent.
