Spot on about the talent level. I noticed it at the Syracuse game when Schlee had to come in. The misdirection with the tight end and the QB run worked for a while but eventually because they had to run him so much he got banged up. The secondary is good - Delane has moments but he’s not a Fuller or Macho. Spot on with the Bud Foster review too- DBU we used to be. Problem is we used to be able to run the ball as you mentioned to make up the deficiency in OL play. But outside of Tuten, I’m not convinced. I have pondered where Tech goes from here. APR was a big get for them and has helped tremendously. But the new crop coming in next year better be good. I don’t disagree- I think Bowen and co have called good plays for the most part but they are working with a level of talent that can’t compete. Hopefully they are able to be better in the recruiting and transfer area next season. Otherwise we are doing this crap again. Sneaking into bowl games after beating LOLUVA and showing promise but not reaching it. Sounds like Hokie football. But that’s the life of a Tech fan ain’t it?
