🏈 ACC Football: Week 2 - 2024

VT was favored by 20 which felt massive

I could still see them winning by that much. Marshall’s Air Raid is having trouble getting anything going and their drives are ending quick. Eventually keeping their defense on the field that often is gonna bite them.

Then again VT looks just as bad lol.

Who’s on the Dr. Pepper commercial with Boz? “I don’t need a backup QB, even if he has great hair”, or something like that?

Quin Ewers, Texas. He’s referencing Arch Manning.

Va Tech is not good. The defense soft.

How did everyone misjudge them?

Similar to SMU, the ‘on-paper’ game can be dead wrong in reality. On paper they’ve got a solid duat-threat QB, playmakers at WR, a good RB in Tuten and players who have graded out highly in the secondary with Delane/Strong/Stroman. They finished last season strong, but much like SMU how much of that was just them beating bad teams.

In reality having all those playmakers doesn’t matter if your OC and OL are subpar, and honestly I think Delane might be overrated at Corner. Front 7 hasn’t impressed either, Powell-Ryland is a great pash rusher but struggles in run defense and their linebackers don’t do a good job of filling gaps up the middle.

If Cal beats Auburn does that mean the ACC > SEC?

NIU with the quick kick on 4th and 7 against ND. Can’t remember the last time I saw that.

Hokesters just experienced Beamerball. Great call by Marshall.

Oh snap Isaac Mckneely’s boy with the touch down (I remember that name from Mckneely’s hs clips and then the announcer mentioned Poca dots)

Other than Tuten it seems like the whole team is soft.

VT got away with multiple pushes on the sidelines there.

NIU cosch Thomas Hammock is jumping up my list as a coach to watch. Love the agression and creative playcalling

Was looking into him earlier, he has an interesting resume. NFL experience and was an elite RB coach at Wisconsin. He was there during the Monte Ball/James White/Melvin Gordon years.

It’s tough to judge because generally speaking over the past 20 years NIU has been a very well ran mid major football program and his success in comparison has been mixed. But his rushing attack is very well schemed.

Idk what this means exactly but I know it’s not a compliment.

Cal is getting hosed by SEC refs.

What a joke. Two bogus PI calls keep Auburn in the game.

The way he’s called this game. The aggressiveness going for multiple 4th downs. Somw interesting movements well coached group to walk into south bend and play this well.

Mendoza just tweaked his knee on a non-contact play going towards the sidelines. Not sure how serious it is.

Cal just intercepted an Auburn pass and shockingly didn’t get called for PI. Not because it wasn’t clean, but because this is not acceptable for the SEC narrative. Cal just needs to stop Auburn from scoring a TD in the last 30 seconds.
