So apparently Miami....

......would beat OSU by 37. How the hell did you lose to that awful team at home? Their offense is abysmal, and their defense knew we were running, and could not stop it. And don't give me the "We are a different team now"....it was a month ago, and VT is garbage.

You could tell they weren't a good team when they were playing us. It felt like we were just being outcoached at the time. What rubbed salt in the wounds was when the announcers would say Virginia Tech's coaches planned on playing us like they do Georgia Tech. They did manage to burn us deep if I remember correctly.

I think we have improved since then, JT Barrett was making some typical new QB mistakes that he doesn't seem to make now. But against the crappy teams we've played since then, it's hard to know for sure.

If I remember correctly you guys got zero pressure on Brewer, and made him look better than he really is.

What surprised me so much about VT was how undisciplined they looked on defense. They were not setting the edge on the DL, and dudes were over running tackles all night. As much as I would love to give Miami all the credit for that, their defense looked awful. We were a dropped pass away from being up 37-0 in the third.

Coaching was a huge part of it. They were keeping Barnett pretty reigned in with the playcalling and basically falling right into VT's strategy of blitzing and keeping that many guys in the box.

VT was a pure coaching failure all around.

I won't say it!

Seriously though, this VT team is bad, Beamer could be gone soon

And apparently you believe in the transitive property for football, which is HILARIOUS.

But to actually answer the question:

OSU and the coaching staff was not ready for what VT did defensively, they did not have a good system developed yet for Barrett, and the OL was still maturing/gelling.

OSU IS a different team now. Their offensive scheme focuses on getting the ball out of Barrett's hands quickly and utilizes their weapons as the constraint threat, not Barrett's running ability (see: Barrett =/= Miller.

On top of that, VT has had a LITANY of injuries, they are not the same caliber team that played OSU on that night either.

You are right....I forgot to account for home and away. Make that 43 points!

Since GT needed a last second FG to beat VT that must mean you'll stomp them when you play then? Oh wait, you lost by 11 to them.
I also guess McNeese St would beat Miami since it took a late miraculous TD by Nebraska to win vice the curb stomping Neb put on Miami.
That's how this works, right?
