The future is very bright, Hokies

Last night, we saw maybe the nastiest defense I think I've ever seen here (it should at least be in the conversation with 2007 and 2005). We made A.J. McCarron look like a UVA qb, and held Bama to 2.5 yards/rush. Kyle Fuller dominated. The entire D-Line dominated. I can't hand out enough kudos to that group, so I'll just do it collectively - that D is amazing.

And on the offensive side of the ball, we have a rb who is only a redshirt freshman, and looks like a total stud. We have an o-line that more than held their own against one of the most dominant defenses in football. This is an o-line made up from leftovers from last year's reviled o-line and a TRUE FRESHMAN. If Grimes can do that in one offseason, what's going to happen in 2 years? When Edmunds is a Junior with 2 more years getting Gentrified? What's going to happen when we pair a dominant O-line and running game with a Bud Foster defense?

Take heart - the future is very bright.
