"I thought we really played, well, one of our better defensive games around here."

Of course it was indicative of how you played, the score was 35-10, maybe he needs to watch the tape again and focus on their offense and special teams play. Guess we'll see how good they are as the season progresses.

"We played a heck of a game," Foster told ESPN.com's Heather Dinich on Thursday. "We played as good as we've played here in a long time, especially in a big game like that against a big opponent. ... The score was not an indication of how we played."

The defense did play a heck of a game. They definitely overachieved while our offensive line is learning to work together and gel. We surely ran a very vanilla offense and that also contributed to VT's performance.

Anxious to see VaTech play @ECU next week :bluebiggrin:

I'll say it again so we can pull a thread up at seasons end: Virginia Tech doesn't lose again until Clemson (I should add or Florida State.) That's in the ACC Championship game.

Exactly, reminds of what B. Kelly said last spring about our trouncing of ND: "We're not that far away," referring to being on the same level as Bama.

I have a lot of respect for Bud Foster and his unit played very well against Alabama.

 

[It Takes Eleven]

Foster was referring to his defense's play, not their abysmal offense, a receiver quitting on a route that enabled Vinnie's Pick 6, our great execution on the punt return, or VaTech's poor tackling that aided the KO return for a TD. He was referring to holding our offense to 206 total yards (about 46 percent of last year's average), 96 yards rushing (42 percent of last year's average), and 11 first downs (about half of last year's average as well). No team has held us to fewer rushing yards since the 2010 season.

His defense played well, and if they show up like this each week they will be very successful in ACC play. I believe they will correct their poor special teams play. They need to fix that train wreck of an offense, which is going to be their hardest task, particularly against teams who handle their running game.

RTR,

Tim

As I have said before, I have great respect for Foster's defensive units. Certainly nothing that I saw last Saturday changed that.

Sounds like moral victory to me. Glad he's satisfied.
