I hope Fuller lives up to his name reputation and his outstanding results from last year. He keeps improving and it is scary to think how good he can become. I like our other side of the db field as well, would be nice to see 2 Hokies on the final list at the end of the season...
One problem: Facyson>Williams. I mean it's not even fair by how much.
Agreed. Facyson should be on that team as well.
I think the main thing is exposure/quality of opponents. ALso look at his National Title stats, they're pretty good. 7 tackles- 5 solo, an Interception and 2 TFL.
Also since FSU won the title this past year ESPN is classifying them as an SEC school because they play fast paced and.. well uhh just because they can. LOL
Not to mention Jarrett > Harris.
Harris did lead the nation in picks, so there's that.
My how times have changed; klempson only has players listed on the defense.
And Duke has 4 total...
WHAT!!
How many people do you think put FSU's entire offense down as their vote?
So, you mean that Fuller, Maddy, and Hughes made the Preseason All-FSU team?
Trey Edmunds will be first team All ACC this year. Hes going to have big TD #'s without LT to poach them. I'm guessing he goes for about the same number of yards as Darren Evans in 2008 (1265) but with a lot more TD's (Evans had 11). Like pushing 20 (for comparison, RW had 21 in 2009).
Juice Williams might have something to say about that... And sadly JC might get stuffed at the 1 yard line twice before we stick it in
This is putting a lot of stock into the success of our ground game
Sounds strange, but I actually like the fact that FSU is 'back'. I think we have played our best ball when they were a top-5 team. Even before our bowl streak, we used to rise up to the challenge (and of course eventually lose, but....). I think its better if we are not the team with the target on our back.
Hopefully the ACC will continue to get stronger and we will rise to the challenge!
Go Hokies.

Too early for dark horse Heisman hype for AJ?
I just saw this floating around Twitter. Apparently people think it's real...guess my Photoshop skills are just that good.
I mean, that's totally legit, no one said Photoshop...
I loved the original photo...particularly the guy on the far left in the VT hat pointing and laughing. One of my favorite games in Lane.
Makes me chuckle seeing one player from uva on the list. Although its still more than I would like
If UVA has no players on the pre season all ACC team, do they still have more players on the list than they did fans at their spring game?
That's quite the question. I'm not sure.
Q: What is the sound of one hand clapping?
A: Louder than the hands clapping at the UVA spring game
