AM looking forward to the O-line discussion. Teller looked great the past couple weeks!!

Also Brewer looks to be getting better at the goal line fade and deep ball. He had some pretty deep throws to a wide open Bucky!

Glad I got around to reading that - packed with info. Good work, Andy.
I particularly liked this fun fact:
"Brewer has thrown two or more interceptions in four straight games. The last Power 5 quarterback to do so was USC's Matt Barkley, who did it in 2012. The only Power 5 quarterback in the last decade to throw two or more picks in five straight games was Oregon State's Matt Moore in 2005.
Both Barkley and Moore are in the NFL"
I don't know about anyone else, but that really helped me put a little bit of my worry at bay. That, to me, is an amazing find.

A picture is worth a thousand words. A gif is worth a million.

"Well see again where it is here at the end of this week, end of next week, and do whats best for him," Beamer said. "I think I might have said this, but hes got a future after Virginia Tech and we for sure want to do whats in his best interests.

That's what I really love about Coach Beamer and Virginia Tech football, they are not willing to sacrifice the player, but rather they want to take care of each one and make sure they have the chance to succeed at the next level.

I don't know why I just realized this, but this is the only Saturday game we play in October.

October looks like a phenomenal month to schedule all those family outings!

JC,

Between living here in SC and the engineer in me I have to point out you'll need to stick a little I-26 between I-95 and I-77. The 440 I'll chalk up to a typo.

Have a safe trip!

Go Hokies!

That isn't a bad drive I went down to Orlando from Christiansburg in a little over 11 hours in June and made it to the Keys in August in about 14 hours.
