So what ypu're Saying is, our defense just has to play like Alabama and taking him out of the equation will be a snap.

Did somebody say snap?

I figured this would be case barring some level of off field intervention. Francois by the end of 2016 was miles better than Blackman ever was last year.

Blackman was terrible last year.

I feel super racist for saying that.

Just don't tell him "get yo money"

I guess that possible suspension didn't stick

I don't think anyone could have reasonably expected it to

I would have expected it to at our program.

Smokey, this is not Tallahassee. This is Blacksburg, there are rules.

And lets not forget...that breaking into a frat house to assault a turle...for domestic aquatic purposes...that aint legal either.

R.I.P Turntle

The Dude Abides

Wilie Taggart should be more worried about Turntle than his johnson.

Are you tired of getting pushed around by your big brother? Sick of getting bullied just because you're the youngest sibling?

Try drugs! Drugs will help you become the big brother you've always wanted to be! Your future little brother won't know what hit em.

He looks 10-20 years older than Michael

It's his tired ass hair-line, bro. He should just shave it all off and rock a baldie with the rest of us genetically inferior folk.

....I miss my hair...

Willie Taggart is a strict disciplinarian, much like Jimbo Fisher and Bobby Bowden

I just checked Francois' stats and I was expecting him to be a better runner. It seems he's a better passer. We could be in a for a long evening.

So could he.

That is true. From what we know their O-line is not very good. Even with Mihota in limited duty we may still get pressure on him. I think the inside of our defense, though inexperienced, is faster and bigger than we have seen in a long time. This really may come down to their receivers vs. our corner backs. If our corners can cover in one on one I fell confident we can shutdown their passing game and have our other db's cheat a bit on the run.

potentially our D line won't be very good either, at least in this first game. Even if all Hewitt does is generate push it would be an upgrade over his performance in last year''s opener.

Their offensive line is a weak link, and you don't necessarily need experience to blitz the hell out of someone. Here's to 8 sacks and a win at Doak in week 1.

You can blitz yourself out of position with bad gap integrity which does take experience... I'm hoping you're right.

Well, would have preferred the other guy, oh well.

a couple things Francois needs to worry about

Let's Go

Meh.

I thought he WAS suspended, not possibly suspended. My level of confidence in this game have plummeted. Our offense better be on point.

I love Bud, but we have been taking bullets left and right.

Excellent. So Devon Hunter knows who he is going to crush first off of a back side blitz.

You will see this game, this upset and this sign next on ESPN Sportscenter. Virginia Tech 31 Miami 7

His decision was made after a phone call with longtime Virginia Tech assistant coach Bud Foster. All Foster told him was, "We win. They don't."
