It's interesting to look at but rather meaningless without the context of the level of competition faced.

Interesting. Good to see tre mason on there a lot. Also, the top 3 on passes defended for the whole conference were therezie, Mincy, and Davis.

[Never2Yield 1,005]

What's interesting is that all AU players that made the list for tackles were all members of the secondary. Hope the front seven step it up starting this week.

is that surprising considering how many passes were thrown?

1. Robenson Therezie... AU JR 1 1 2 3 3.00

Chris Davis......... AU SR 1 3 0 3 3.00

Jonathon Mincy...... AU JR 1 3 0 3 3.00

In all fairness to the other teams though they threw the ball 50+ times. Still, very nice site to see.

Adams wasn't mentioned in the sacks but had the same as several listed. Interesting........

Nature of air raid teams.

But how do you rate the level of competition at this point ? My thought is that Wash St. will be a better team than VT by the end of the year, but we will have to wait and see. WDE.

This is exactly what I thought too. Washington State looked much improved, while Virginia Tech handed the game to Alabama.

Maybe not, but knowing their offense was pass heavy I would expect the LBs to be in on coverage on those short yard pass plays and screens. Nevertheless, I do understand your point.

VaTech played good defense. But their receivers are horrible, and special teams coverage was an issue...that or Christian Jones may be a superstar in the making...a player I once thought would commit here.

Nobody hands Alabama anything. Va Tech wins 9 games this year IMO. Wazzou wins 5 maybe 6. Though Wazzou plays Stanford and Oregon, so they'll be a little better than their record will indicate.

U have fallen and bumped ur head, wash.st wins more than that!! Vatech has an easier schedule than bammers, they should win at least 10gms!!

I would take that bet in a New York minute.

I know why these things are done but really it is pointless after only one game. It generates interest and I guess that is good.

They threw 65 passes.....most of them short ones just past the line. With that type of offense to defend, who would you expect to make the most tackles? Just wondering :-\ And by the way...there isn't a front 7 with the current defensive plan.

I don't know. Maybe. I think VT struggles on offense a lot this year but their D is usually pretty good. I do think WSU will be better than last year. Second year with Leach and so forth. I don't think they will be bottom of their conference.

I noticed that Adams was not credited with his sack. What gives?

[bigman334 56]

we had a nice win and all. but wsu is not in the same zip code as Vtech right now. WSU is the kentucky of the pac 12. Leach may change that in the future but they have a ways to go.

better passing team. but they lack a good defense and running game. They still have a ways to go.

The REFS hand uat two-three games per season. Let's be honest...............
