So, let's blame TW for Orwin Smith's horrible drop that stopped our first drive of the game when we were putting a hurting on Vippy. Let's blame TW for the PI non-call that resulted in our second stopped drive when the Vippy player tackled Embry. Let's also just judge TW for the one quarter when he did bad (4th) because we changed our play calling to be more pass heavy with an o-line that can't pass block for öööö. The reason he was calling his number so much was because Foster was forcing him to do so. The pitch was taken away most of the night, and the inside runs were being blown up because for some reason Finch and friends couldn't get a push up the middle. That only leaves one option.
Also, he called his number less in this game than in the Clemson game, and I didn't see people bitching about him calling his number too much during the Clemson game. Teams are taking away the pitch and the dive. That's how they're playing us now. That's what they did even when we had Nesbitt at QB, and look at how much he used to call his number. The only difference between JN and TW is that JN would give it to the B-back a bit more frequently because our B-backs (Dwyer and Allen) were a higher caliber and could actually gain more than 2-4 yards.
It's unfortunate that our fans are so quick to öööö on our players after a loss. We have a thread about getting rid of a player's scholarship, and a positive thread about our QB turns into a bash-fest, searching for all of TW's negatives ... oh, and the obligatory, laughable call for Vad Lee.

That's the only play of value I saw him make where he did a poor job. The garbage time passing doesn't count. He got little help from his receivers in the second half.I think Tevin is a good QB for Tech. I don’t think he can lead us to a magical season, though. He's progressed in his option reads, but in the passing game he still misses guys. And I'm not talking about poor passes, I'm talking about not even seeing a receiver that's wide open.
Early in the 4th (I think), when GT was down by a score, Johnson called a pass on the first play of our drive, Tevin dropped back had time to make a decision and got sacked. One problem: Roddy Jones was streaking down the middle of the field with no VT defenders within 10 yards of him. Should've been a touchdown.
Stuff like that just reminds me that we're still not clicking on offense yet. And we won't, until we find a QB who can make those plays.

--Tevin is NOT one of the reasons we lost--
National championship? nah, I don't expect that. A magical season to me is 2 losses or less. We can get there with the right QB. I think Tevin is an 8,9,10 win kind of guy. Still good, not great.TW can get us to where Nesbitt got us and more. What does that mean? He can beat UGA, and he can win us an ACC championship. That's all I want. That's all I care about. The only thing above that is a national championship.
What are you expecting? What is this "magical season" you are referring to? A national championship? Even Joe Ham couldn't get us that, so don't hold your breath, buddy.
nah, not me.^did you go to the game last night? there was a student that had your avatar blown-up on a poster.
TW should have known not to hit #17 in the hands and #24 in the numbers
