It has been clear that although the O-line was touted as a strength
of the team, that they are playing like oneof the weakest parts of
the team. I have heard many comments questioning the heart, will, or
desire, whatever it is that motivates someone or a group to achieve
at the highest level they are capable.

It was the correct call and Bo's actions were a terrible mistake.
Instead of focusing his team to stop VT at the 20, he took his team's
focus off the task at hand and gave VT the ball at the 10. Then, they
commit a third consecutive unsportsmanlike foul. If Bo learns from the
mistake, then some good will come out of it. If he makes the same sort
of errors in the future, it will change my perspective on being a fan
of the program.
