Thanks Andy for the info. I hate to see such a great player like Facyson have to go through such a lengthy rehab, but he seems to have recognized that this is the best route for him. And I know this may be just a little early but Kendall a year older AND Facyson back at 100% is going to be fun to watch in 2015...

Yes,that's the Hokie Bird riding a camel. Why'd you ask?

I think I would rather have another full season with him rather than him rushing back and risking injury. Though I think he will declare early either way.

Plan for the worst and hope for the best, not the other way around.

No chat this week. Pushing it back to Tuesday next week, so it's still two days before the game.

Bruce taught Ekanem some hand moves with his pass rushing technique, including his go-to move, the "swipe." As a former Hokie, Bruce attends plenty of Tech games, often standing on the sideline. Has Ekanem ever pulled him aside for advice?
"He's usually a little busy with the camera," Ekanem said with a laugh. "So I don't want to bother him over there."

I'm happy to see Ekanem healthy and showing off his potential. He's a stud and still only a RS-So. I wonder if he didn't shred his knee if we still would've gotten him or not, but either way, glad he's in O&M.
