HokieSports.com updated the depth chart today and Alonzo Tweedy is listed as the starting Whip, with Ronny Vandyke as his backup. G-W is the backup Rover.
Frank Beamer says Alonzo Tweedy will get action at whip LB this week against Florida State to provide some more speed. #Hokies— Hokies Journal (@HokiesJournal) November 6, 2012
This might mean Tech is planning on playing more of Foster's traditional 4-3 instead of the 4-2-5 (or 4-4) like he has been doing with the nickel back in the game.
Other things I found interesting: J.R. Collins is listed at backup d-tackle, Corey Marshall and Tyrel Wilson are co-starters at end, Martin Scales is a co-starter at fullback with Joey Philips, and J.C. is listed as starting tailback by himself (Holmes/Gregory backing him up).

Interesting move
I like Tweedy and of course we want the best player on the field. I just thought they were so high on Vandyke though. They are probably just trying to match their speed the best they can. I am excited to see JC Coleman getting the start though.
Collins is turning to the next McCray.
JCC is starting!
...I see 6 carries in his future!
I believe...
.....not too far from the truth. Remember they are trying to work out the fumbleitis out of gregory/ holmes combo. "Trying to get'em goin".
Since JCC is starting
Does that mean Holmes gets more carries this week?
sad
Sad but true.
There isn't much more irritating than seeing Holmes back receiving punts when Jarrett is so dynamic at it.
Everything decision made this
Every decision made this season seems bipolar.
FINALLY
UNLEASH THE TWEEDSTER.
NO TWEEDY!!!!!
IT'S WHIP!
