i know we are all used to seeing kendall doing kendall things but i saw a video on instagram last night of isaiah ford catching a TOUGH catch on kendall on a long ball and the whole team came over and got pretty ampted up about it after with high fives and chest bumps for ford. if i can find the video again ill try and post it or atleast a link to it. Its a pretty short clip instgram only gives you like 30 seconds worth of video and it doesnt show who threw the pass looked like they were recording it from their phone in the film room. still exciting to see an actual highlight of these young guys and its a bonus its on probable the best corner he will see all season. rest of the nation beware!!!!

The funny thing is it was from A. Ford to I. Ford on Fuller.
So you are saying it takes 2 Fords to beat 1 Fuller?
I don't know if any other teams have enough Fords to be able to employ that Standard operating procedure.
(I know. I started it. Hypocrite, you are me. Trust me: Nobody hates me more than myself right now.)
No no, I'll derail this with 'logic':
A. Ford + I. Ford > K. Fuller (In this one instance. Further data must be acquired for absolute proof).
Take out the Ford (combine like terms).
A. + I. > K. Fuller. Combine the single letters to get A.I. Artificial Intelligence.
Artificial Intelligence obtained by Fords appear to be the only way to beat K. Fullers. Not a big deal, right? We have both Fords and the last of the K. Fullers, no one can overcome our Fuller. Correct, but there's an unintended side effect.
By this superior logic, K. Fullers have a weakness against Fords. Kyle plays for the Bears, who are in the NFC North. Who plays in Ford Field? Why their division opponent who they play twice a year, the Detroit Lions, who also have Corey Fuller. If the Lions have the foresight to draft a player with the last name Ford then they possess two Fords and a Fuller. Unstoppable.
Tl:dr: Science.
I feel like I just brought a forehand to a backhand fight.
Is it A + I Ford, or is it A(I) Ford?
In short, Fuller got double-Forded.
More like the Fusion of 2 Fords was enough to Escape the grasp of Fuller. Not sure if we should be throwing a Fiesta or if Fuller needs to Focus more on making that play.
fuller couldnt have covered any better on the play IMO he was all over isaiah ford just a well thrown ball and an even better catch. im looking for the video but it wasnt on fords IG it was on a linemans and i cant remember who. His actual comments under the video said "celebrating with isaiah after this big catch" (he was jumping up and shoulder bumping him) then tyriq edwards gave him some crap about his hops and his response was "man its hard to jump with these 2 forrest gump knee braces on" haha i thought it was pretty funny!
I think you are missing the joke. Maybe someone can Escort you and together you two can be Explorers as you embark on an Expedition to find the origins of the joke.
lol sorry.... it escaped me. maybe i should focus more too.
Ack!!
Too much good news. I need a break.
A lot of not normal people here. Man, do I fit in!
Where is the video?
seriously, if you saw it on instagram then where is the link to the video? share the love dude, don't just tell us what happened
I saw another brief clip the other day (don't think it was the same one) where he made a deep catch while covered...and most importantly, he met the ball with hands at his apex rather than waiting for it to come to him.
Most natural catch I've seen from a VT receiver in a long time. I said a few weeks ago somewhere that I thought he would have the most impact of the frosh. Even though it looks like frosh will be getting carries at RB, I still think that Ford could have the most impact just as a threat.

Beautiful throw, beautiful defense, and most of all a beautiful catch. That was a hell of a catch for a true freshman to make on Kendall.
Thanks for posting.
Had to be a ball thrown by BREWER!! he is the only Qb with the helmet on and last there! Great sign!
Nice observation!
Nope, there's another QB that comes in from the left at the end. That's probably Ford.
Brewer comes in from what looks like to be the middle of the field IMO Ford comes from sidelines/waterboy area
Ball looks like it was coming down the sideline at a shallow angle to me. Impossible to tell, just figured I'd mention it. I want it to be Brewer, too, but based on the comments above and the ambiguity from the video, I'm not convinced it was him.
this is true, camera angle is not the best. Regardless that is a sexy ball and an even better catch! Hope to see many more of these in 11 days!
Indeed. When it all comes down to it, the only things that matter are: (1) a Hokie threw the pass and (2) a Hokie made a great grab against one of the best defenders in all of college football.
WE HAVE TO FIND OUT!!!
FWIW
Excellent!
Home Brewed!
Dude!!
thanks my service on my phone at the office is horrible and i couldnt figure out how to save it from the ig! (im not computer savy at all)
This is exactly why I want Ford on the field as early and often as possible. Play makers!
The craziest thing is how much everyone is celebrating a caught pass in practice. Just goes to sho how nasty Fuller is...
....or how sterile our offense has been lately...
a little bit from column A, a little bit from column B
Reavis talking crap on that, cracks me up.
Your doing the lord's work my son. Go forth, and with this turkey leg, begin a vast collection.
Maybe more than the throw and the catch: how about the enthusiasm and camaraderie we see here? The friendship, memories, and life lessons you learn as a part of a team is really what college athletics is all about. That celebration may have just made this season a success for me.

You guys....feels...
I would say a whistle got blown on that play too.... He was beating Kendall down the sideline like he stole something. Kendall was in save the TD mode, no head turn, surviving..
Is this the catch?
Yep. It must have been some kind of competition they had going for everyone to come celebrate like that
The netting around the construction area keeps making me think there's a big ditch full of water bordering practice field.
It's to encourage players to extend plays and gain yardage by NOT falling into the massive pit of laser sharks.
Sweet grab. Now do it 10 times in the Horseshoe
billy ray mitchell is the instagram i saw it on! and i rewatched this morning and saw him coming running down and try and shoulder bump form! hillarious stuff! love when the big guys get excited!
Ford did what a good receiver is supposed to do, kept his eyes on the ball. I'm kind of hoping we're seeing a Sammy Watkins at the beginning. This is going to push Kendall and the rest to up their game even more. Nice!
Well said. Kendall is the best CB he will face all season, and if he is giving Kendall fits in practice...
