GIFTORY: Frame-by-Frame Highlight Reel of Virginia Tech's 36-13 win over Liberty

The Hokies moved to 1-0 in Justin Fuente's head coaching debut.

[Mark Umansky]

The Hokies knocked off the Flames 36-13. GIFTORY recaps the highs of Justin Fuente's maroon and orange debut.

When it's too late and the QB still doesn't see you.

Shai McKenzie helped Wyatt Teller on pancake duty. Oh by the way, French will have more on Shai in his film review.

This pump and pass is too sexy.

Greg Stroman executed a one-man tip drill. 💯

Dime.

Isaiah Ford is a cheat code.

1-0.

Comments

That Isaiah Ford snag in the end zone is pure sex.

I would root for the Russians before I would root for Virginia.

Now I'm not one to be superstitious, but I was wearing my ballin' Horse on a Treadmill T-shirt from TKP and we won. So now I'm going to try and do it for every game.

Also I love Evan's celebrations after the touchdown throws. Guy gets animated.

It'll be interesting to see what Shai's role is going forward, cause he looked pretty good to me.

Go Hokies

I had the same shirt on. Looks like I won't be doing laundry for a while...

I wore the same shirt and got questions and comments.

Marketing, man.

This is going to be great for the ACC.

I'm not going to be able to watch the Bristol game at all. I booked a wedding (I'm a wedding photographer). Last time I shot a wedding during a marquee VT game we beat Ohio State. So yeah I'm a little stitious.

I have no idea why my username is VT_Warthog.

Arkansas blew a 24-0 lead in the Belk Bowl.

I am booking you to come down to Hot-lanta to take pics of me and my wife in wedding attire during Miami, UNC, Notre Dame, Pitt, Clemson/FSU...

You get the... picture.

"...sticks and stones may break my bones but I'm gonna kick you repeatedly in the balls Gardoki!"

I'm fine with this. I love Atlanta. Wife and I went there on vacation this summer. She has family on Lake Sinclair and is from Snellville!

Now that I think about it VT is 2-0 when I shoot weddings. Furman last year was a win. I also am booked for the Duke game.

My cousin's fiance decided to pick the 10th for his wedding date so we're in the same boat. Best believe I'll be watching on my phone from the aisles!

"Look at this...this is just spectacular. These people are losing their minds!"

What the hell is wrong with these people? They've scheduled bye weeks for weddings, births, funerals and such

Plus, February, March, April, May, June, July, and early August.

Not to mention EVERY SATURDAY IN OCTOBER.

That's a really late (or west coast) wedding ceremony since kickoff is at 815.

Joffrey, Cersei, Ilyn Payne, the Hound, Jeff Jagodzinski, Paul Johnson, Pat Narduzzi.

You get a Horse on a Treadmill shirt! And YOU get a Horse on a Treadmill shirt! And YOU!

... I was also wearing my HoaT shirt. It's dork magic.

Best duos in Hokie history: Hall & Adibi, 3rd & Tyrod, Georgia & Liz

I like the Evans celeb too. Might as well call him Hawkeye.

-Being aggressive, being tough...that's the Virginia Tech way.

Put this offense in the red zone and Evans will find Bucky or Ford with that back shoulder fade every time.

I don't know how you even defend Bucky on that throw. I don't know if you've heard, but he's 6'7".

Deposit whiskey, receive wisdom.

You mean he's 7'19"

You mistyped that. You meant 67'.

And yet, I see no Bud Foster with Smarties.

Live for 32. Ut Prosim. Let's Go, Hokies.

Shai and McMillian should be the 1-2 punch.

Mix in Rogers as the HBack - catching passes in space and making a move seems to be his forte.

Tyrod did it Mikey, Tyrod did it!!

Now for the week of serious prep for TN. The coachs said it, there is work to be done. I'm sure they have some surprises for this week.

It seemed the defense was not worn-out in this game, 'thank you' offense. Thethe just need to continue to build, fast! No pressure but TN will be fired up, too. Time to show Hokies Pride! An upset is always sweeter.

I'd like to see them bring the house on Dobbs a few times just to get him warmed up (and see if it's effective so they can do it again).

I move that "Cheat Code" be made Isaiah Ford's official nickname

Ask me no questions, and I'll tell you no lies

Really liked the touch on Evans passes. Past VT Qbs have had big arms, but overthrew the ball at time. He has good timing with his receiving corps and has some nice touch in the red zone, nice to see.

Really like the distribution of the throws too. Getting Cam to feel like he is receiver 1A instead of #2 is going to be big for his confidence. And I am not sure what you do as a D-coordinator with Bucky split wide all the time opposite Cam and Ford. Good luck

The Dude Abides

I do think we are too predictable with Bucky though. He only got 2 targets and both were in the end zone. I was disappointed we didn't go deep with him at all.

Missed some deep throws, but many of them were in single coverage, so maybe Bucky was drawing double teams

The Dude Abides

I don't think the Liberty game is the one to worry about being predictable. We ran so little of the playbook, it was pretty much an open scrimmage before the BaB.

Offense looked so much more polished than in the past.
Hope it continues.

I'm surprised neither the GIFtory nor French's review mentioned Wyatt Teller's performance at 9:39 left in the 4th Q. I can't figure out how to post it because the original is longer than an hour, which appears to be imgur's limit.
