"Luther Maddy is dealing with an MCL sprain"

Hmmmm, hope these aren't serious.
Heck, we hope all the injuries reported aren't serious.

Seems like last year we heard that a lot of freshmen would be playing special teams.

If William and Mary end up housing a punt or kickoff return, there's a good chance that I will not behave rationally.

Leonard. Duh.

But what will happen when we end up housing the opening kick off?

I will conduct myself in a professional, orderly manner, and will project the perfect model of good sportsmanship.

Leonard. Duh.

It will be nice to get Facyson back.

Any word about Holland Fisher?

Whoever wins the battle, we're guaranteed an awesome name for our kicker.

im actually kind of nervous to see our special teams play if this many freshman are on it. i feel as though having new guys out there has lead to (one of several factors im sure) the decline of beamerball over the past several seasons. i know these guys are talented so i hope they can come in there and shock me.

tyrod did it mikey! tyrod did it!

I can think of few things more Hokie than a walk-on kicker becoming a walk-on linebacker. I'm rooting hard for Slye.

Could be an asset on kickoffs too. Having a kicker that can level people on returns would be awesome.

Yeah, like that, but #punterswag gets the bonus of not only making the perfect tackle, but forcing the fumble as well.

Yeah, that was energy transfer from Spear to ball carrier.

This is going to be great for the ACC.

Talk about the tip of the Spear...

See the way he calls his target out before the kick…
