That was my first reaction, that was a hell of a concussion
This is one of those sports that I always wonder, how does one get into it? Are there youth handball leagues?
I thought you were kidding...
didn't catch that. I still hope he isn't asked to run too much
Yeah, I was only sorta joking, lol I'm with you on the razor thing, when it's getting too long I put my guard down to 2mm, usually do this every other week or so
I don't fully trust any man who is clean shaven
Justin Fuente calls QB Braxton Burmeister one of the top three or four athletes on the team. Says he has a chance to be an explosive runner, but #Hokies need RBs to step up in Khalil Herbert's absence.— Andy Bitter (@AndyBitterVT) July 21, 2021
Given our lack of QB depth, I really hope BB's "explosive running potential" is not something the play calling will be centered on.
Honestly, it seems pretty stupid to hold the games this year anyways, considering not only the risk of infection, and further spread of covid, but the conditions that they are forced to be under to mitigate the risks seems pretty miserable.
ouch
edited, thanks for the catch!
US Women's soccer 44 game unbeaten streak comes to an end on a 3-0 loss to Sweden to open the Olympics
This comment reinforces how happy I am that I do not listen to country music.
Ok, that puts Turner to 3 ypc (-2, 5, 2, 0, 10, 6...omitting 51 and -12) and Robinson at 9 ypc on 3 carries (12, 10 and 5, omitting 28 and -7)
or better yet, do you hit wiffleballs from your yard at your neighbors kids?

kidding DC, not trying to pile on, I read this one, and in my head I pictured my version and made myself laugh
My point wasn't to take anything away from the receivers, just that saying that that play averages 7-8 yards, while accurate mathematically, it implies that there is a good chance we'll get a big chunk of yards on any given time the play is called, when the odds are we're gonna end up with 2-3 yards most times
also, my initial comment was meant 100% TIC, but it seems as though the mention of jet sweeps has offended some people. For that I am deeply sorry.
So, I've got some down time at work today...
If I counted correctly, on the 2020 season Khalil Herbert had 67 carries for three yards or less, and 92 carries of 4 yards or more.
This stat peaked my interest...I assume jet sweeps are logged as Rushing yards?
If so, looking through last season, Turner had 9 carries for 60 yards, Robinson had 5 carries for 48 yards, and Hodge had 1 carry for -2 yards....coming to just over 7 ypc for the whole receiving unit.
That number seems to be inflated, as they typically aren't big gainers, one of Turner's carries against NCSU went for 51. So for his other 8 carries on the season, he gained 9 yards (1.125 ypc), one of Robinson's carries went for 28...omitting his outlier he's looking at 5 ypc.
As a unit, if you omit the two outlier big plays, that drops the ypc for recievers to 2.07 for 2020. Granted, the big plays will happen every so often, so maybe it can be a valuable play, once every 7 or 8 attempts anyways...also should clarify that I am just going off of the rushing yards per carry, they may not have all been jet sweeps
not to mention, have you seen their jet sweeps??
Bam fam!

# | Dennis Dodd - Fuente sitting on 2nd Hottest Seat in college football going into 2021 Regardless of record, I'd be shocked to see a midseason firing.
That was my first thought, as there were 2 supposed players with him, and they both announce almost together, and both seem to make it sound out of their control... but that's a lot of speculation
edit: after posting this, I noticed someone else posted that Bitter's source has said it was neither academic or legal issues, so it may just be one of those things we never know. We just have to trust that this is the best thing for them, wish them well, and move along.
Never even seen it til recently
