Hokies road to a Championship

First let me introduce myself as this is my very first post. I am a die hard HOKIES fan that truly believes there are only two seasons in a year. (1) Football Season and (2) The time period leading up until the next Football Season. I eat, sleep and work with Football on my mind. I usually just read the content on this wonderful website you call The Key Play and very seldom comment. Today is the day that I become an active member of this great Community!

I, like many others on this great site, have researched data, watched film, watched live games and broke down offense and defensive plays to find out what was successful or what contributed to the "fail" of the play. There was one common denominator.....Personnel. I have had the opportunity to watch several of the current freshman on this team play this great game we call football and can tell you, these guys are "Football Players"...not just athletes. You see time and time again, in my honest opinion, Virginia Tech has recruited top notch athletes, placed them in certain positions / situations that were not favorable to their game...and hoped they would succeed because of there athleticism. Quite a few of these players were athletic enough to succeed, but some were not and that is what attributed to the "fail" of the plays, especially on the offensive side of the ball.

The last two years, it appears that "we" have realized our mistake and recruited with the position in mind. Now look at what we have...actual "top of the line, accurate QB's, Running Backs that hit a hole hard going North and South, TE's that can actually be a threat in the passing game and block. WR's that have that big play ability and were actual wide receivers in high school. An offensive line averaging 300 lbs.

I am not going to even attempt to say anything about "our" defense other then if you thought last year was a good year, you just wait till next year! WOW!!!!!!! This current Virginia Tech team has it all and with a little blood, sweat and tears given by them the next two weeks, they are going to get better and "gel" with each other. I believe come September 6, 2014, these HOKIES will shock the College Football world. Now I'm not saying we are going to go undefeated and make it into the playoff this year but I would truly be shocked if we were not at least 10-2 with a win over OSU.

My expectations of this year are a Top 30 Offense and a Top 15 Defense and that my friends equals a successful season gearing up for the magical 2015 Undefeated / National Champion Football Season!
