A Thought or two on Hooker

I don't claim to be an authoritative source on anything. But before we say that clearly we should have made Hooker the starter months ago, let us consider a few things. First, I don't want to take away from the fact that Hooker had a great game, he stepped up in a big game under pressure. However, I think he, and we by extension, cashed in on the fact that no one in college football had an accurate scouting report on Hooker. Willis had the same Honeymoon when he got the starting job. The fact that Hooker has been the universal Hokie signal for "run play" made all of the Miami corners bit up towards the line to stuff the run. Multiple times, we had a WR or a TE running their route without a defender anywhere within a country mile. That is not going to last. We will see what Hooker can do when defenses are prepared for him.

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"
