LINEBACKER – Rayshard Ashby, Virginia Tech So., LB, Chesterfield, Va.
In his first collegiate start, Ashby posted seven tackles, including two tackles for loss, and forced a fumble in Virginia Tech's 24-3 season-opening victory over Florida State • Ashby's forced fumble was the first of his career and led to a Brian Johnson field goal that put the Hokies up 10-0 in the first quarter • Florida State lost 11 yards on Ashby's two tackles for loss.

DEFENSIVE BACK – Caleb Farley, Virginia Tech, R-Fr., CB, Hickory, N.C.
In his first collegiate game, Farley had a sack and two interceptions in Virginia Tech's victory over Florida State • Farley's first career pick came on the first play of a Florida State drive that followed Virginia Tech's punt block returned for a touchdown in the second quarter • His second interception came late in the fourth quarter, securing another time-consuming possession for the Hokies • Farley's first career sack was for a two-yard loss and pinned FSU back to its own 10-yard line • He is the first Virginia Tech player since Greg Stroman versus Liberty in 2016 to register a multi-interception game.

Looking forward to this being a weekly thing!

I can imagine no more rewarding a career. And any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction:
“I served in the United States Navy"

At least none of us openly questioned his move to DB because I we didn't think he could be as much a playmaker on defense as he would have been on offense. That would have been silly, glad nobody did that...

I mean he still holds the ball too long and doesn't throw the long ones.

Now, Sage Surratt over Farley for ACC Rookie of the Week?

I say let them both be it, at least.

No, I *don't* want to go to the SEC. Why do you ask?

We don't love dem Hoos.
