I'm officially pissed Oliver hasn't started all season

Cooper is back in at center because he is more reliable snapping the ball, he is bigger, he blocks better, and doggonit, people like him.

I'd prefer Lee be in the rotation at guard.

With the push our O-Line got against VPI, I'd imagine that TQM would have moved the ball too. Oliver just seemed like a was a slippery runner, where Marshall is a race horse.

VPI's defense was smaller than Clempsen's, USF's, Pittsburgh, and Duke's.

Hmmmm, trust the geniuses on a message board with no experience coaching or knowledge of the locker room, of trust the coach?

Really difficult decision here.

Not at all, I always trust geniuses. Why, just the other day, I actually purchased an acre on the moon. The actual moon! It's genius!

TBH I'm starting to think that the biggest difference is that the OL was better at blocking the simplified offense under Oliver, whereas all it took was one öööö up to kill a drive when running the more complicated offense under Marshall. Our offense was EXTREMELY basic against VT - we literally just destroyed them at the LOS play after play after play. There was very little misdirection or trickery involved, so the joke's on the OP because there was no gimmick.

Duke DL > VT DL

Oliver was quoted in AJC on Friday, that if TM was healthy, he expected him to be the starter.

Oliver moves the Offense much smoother. Would be a shame for him not to start. I love TM but Oliver seems to just have the ‘it’ factor. Hope it is Oliver’s team the rest of the way.

This is a good point. The fact that they weren't physically superior to us allowed us to run a simple scheme and just manhandle them. They readily admit it too. https://www.roanoke.com/hokies/how-...cle_5146d97e-d906-11e8-9a3a-17c04dc9f944.html

What surprises me is that they didn't force us to try an pass by loading the box. I thought they would be better at making adjustments.

I'm not sure what you mean by loading the box but they definitely loaded the box. [mom joke goes here]
