Well I was in Dallas for the tcu game and didn't watch any of the Bama game. Yea, I hooked some of the Gump noobs earlier, but this is a legit Q.

Scanning the rant, I saw some espn qb metric that had the vt qb ranked at 115 of 115 after yesterdays game.

I assume they aired it out trying to play catchup? Wasn't he supposed to be good last year? Did he have an off game or did your secondary just absolutely devour him?

He ended up like 5/26 for around 55 yards and a pick. Guess it was the worst game in the FBS week one.

Our defense is really, really good.

A lot of overthrown balls and a lot of drops for Virginia Tech. The secondary was okay... but there were times when the VT receivers were wide open, or had it right in their hands. Thomas was just awful

His WR's were terrible to start. He has the tools to be very good, but just can't seem to put it all together.

We got a lot of pressure on him which forced some bad throws.

Our Safties and LB's are all very good cover guys, minus Sunseri and he had a pick 6 yesterday. The CB's looked good, but Logan Thomas wasn't accurate enough to really test them.

We do have ridiculous speed all over the field though

He may have the strongest arm in college football, his receivers aren't very good though so they have a hard time catching those missiles. Bama secondary did a great job all things considered. Belue finally learned to find the football, so that's a good thing

The VT QB was about as legit as Hanna Montana fricking Beetlejuice.

Someone on the Bama board made mention, that every pass he threw looked like it was shot out of a cannon.
