Tacking is still an issue.

Students need to stop leaving so early

Seeing how happy Franklin looked when Love made that field goal was so great to see!

Sloppy win, but I'll take it. Stanford and UVA look like the best path to 7-5. The other 3 will require us to look much sharper to win.

Clemson and SMU haven’t looked incredible, I think we can win one of them but will have to play better on defense

Ugly ugly second half performance against a much inferior opponent. Happy to get the win but lots to work on going into clemson

Just like last week

Most of the second half was weirdly fine. It was just the first two possessions for each team.

Love is back!

The acc refs sucked less than usual but the no-call on the late facemask was pretty weak, everyone saw it but the refs.

Congratulations to John Love beating the yips! Let’s Go Hokies!

I’m not sure two short field goals means that he beat the yips, but hopefully I’m wrong.

Only 4 penalties for the Hokies. Big improvement.

Wasn't always pretty, looked like things could get bad fast there at the start of the 2nd half, but overall a good day.

Nice to give Frank Beamer a W on his 80th birthday

Didn’t watch a single snap - how’d we look?

Offense explosive early and got a little conservative. D needs to figure out zone D

Great first half! TERRIBLE start of the 3rd quarter on both sides of the ball to allow them back in the game. Settled down and came out with the win. I don’t know what’s going on the locker room at halftime but our OCs need to rethink our halftime adjustments (or lack thereof).

I think I'm seeing a pattern here.
