Beating VPI: The Blueprint

smokey_wasp said:
TaQuon's stat line from last year's game was 2 for 8, 140 yards, 2 TD's, 1 INT.

So if you extrapolate that to 45 attempts, it would be something like 11 for 45, 784 yards, 11 Touchdowns, 6 interceptions.

We has the blueprint.

Look no further than how Conf USA power Old Dominion (currently 1-6) did it:

Notably, ODU QB stat line:
Blake LaRussa 30/49 495 10.1 4 0

VPI committed a single turnover (1 INT, no fumbles).

Just one week later, mighty Duke (4-1) would play VPI.

Here's the mighty Blue Devil Rushing stat line:
TEAM 36 71 2.0 1 10

Duke got dominated. Only one turnover by Duke - no fumbles.

VPI is currently 30th in the nation in Team Rushing Defense but 121st in the nation in Team Defense Passing Yards Allowed. To put that into perspective, CNW's boys are ranked 45th and 73rd respectively in those categories.

So the (navy) Blueprint is clear: To beat VPI, you need to throw it and catch it. Going rush-heavy ensures we'll be 3-5 after the BYE week. We have the gift of a Bye week to prepare for the VPI joke of a passing defense. Let's hope CPJ uses it wisely.

Nailed it.
 
Rw92 has been an outspoken anti johnsoner lately. Maybe this will shut him up for a little bit. Absolutely terrible analysis in the op, which I thought when I originally read it.

CPJ will use the longer prep time to try and tweek our option execution in hopes of resurrecting our clock control offense.

While y'all are making fun of OP, I say we owe this guy a hat tip. Good call. CPJ's tweaking crushed them. ["Let's fire him, he never adjusts."]

A lucky prediction, at best. But, CPJ knows only one way. He is risk averse when it comes to changing his offense, (see shotgun formation, Pistol). He knows what he knows. This win positions us to (a) win the coastal division, or (b) have a 6-6 season. We need some combinations and permutations of helpful wins by others, and we have to win out in the ACC, but not eliminated yet. I haven't seen the time of possession, but we ran 78 plays to their 46. Pretty large delta.
