Vintage Big 10 matchup in Piscataway

It’s a B1G Classic with two long-time rivals, Washington and Rutgers! Nothing says Big Ten football like this one!

How the mighty fall. Washington down 14-3 to Rutgers

That freshman just gifted Rutgers seven points by going on the field while the ball was live, after the field goal was blocked.

Miami doesn't look good.

 

[Kinch]

Love those regional matchups in a regional conference. Seattle to Rutgers is a 41 hour drive. One way.

 

[JP4CY]

VT WTF were you thinking with that fake?

 

[packattack425]

Why not take the points there VT?

 

[jctisu]

Man after what should have been a pick 6 if that one VT defender stops celebrating and blocks the guy, you run a fake FG and come away with no points. Brutal call there. I mean it’s hindsight because if it worked everyone would be saying how genius it was. But man you need to take those points after an interception like that.

See, I don’t hate the fake FG idea - you basically got a free possession with the pick and the long return - but good golly, your O line has not get totally blasted six yards backwards when you run the play. Execution really killed it … if the runner could have gotten to the corner he at least had a shot at the first down (although Miami was playing the fake, so no guarantees).

Taking chances always looks bad in retrospect if they don’t work … the combination of VT not executing on the play and now letting Miami roll right down the field makes it look really bad.

 

[KidSilverhair]

And now Miami turns that failed fake into a TD. So, yeah, that did not work out.

 

[KidSilverhair]

Thats a terrible holding call on VT to take away a TD. Just unbelievable.

Good news for VT: Still leading.

Can't squander too many opportunities, though.

 

[Kinch]

So, if VT holds on, is the ACC a one-bid league?

 

[Die4Cy]

Tuten has been pretty clutch out of the backfield for the Hokies.

 

[Cyched]

Is Miami back?

 

[aeroclone]

Is Miami back?

They are backed against a wall.

They are backed against a wall.

 

[cyclones500]

Well, that was quite a catch.

 

[StLouisClone]

VT showing why they are 1-9 in one-score games.

VT showing why they are 1-9 in one-score games.

Defense looks like trash in the clutch.

 

[cyclones500]

I don't even know what to say about that play.
