Yeah, but rewatch it and focus on how much pressure Grier was under when he made that throw.
We have always had a great secondary, but our secondary has always been made to look that much better by the different ways Foster puts pressure on the opposing QB. It would be hard to hit the broad side of a barn with 300 pounds of defensive tackle draped across you like a toga.

For those who do not know what a power hour is, check urban dictionary for the rules
Just don't use definition 4.
Actually that Independence Bowl probably offers a lot of potential plays to include in the update. That game was Lefty's swan song.
A montage of Michael Brewer scraping himself off the turf after taking a hit that would kill a mere mortal.
If the punting team recovers a blocked punt, they can advance it.
I forgot it was Burnop that had added that particular phrase to my vocabulary.
I usually roll my eyes at the obsession this site has over our uniforms...
But these are slicker than a peeled onion in a bowl of snot.
Kits are the way to go. The best home brewed beers I've had are kits that a competent home brewed tinkered with. A kit gives you a solid foundation on which to build the specific beer you want to brew.
Personnel grouping, yes (lest we forget Juggs' investigative journalism on the running back rotation) but it seemed we were in pistol or shotgun 90% of the time, and the only real change what H back and receiver alignment. I know those are technically different alignments, but not like the shotgun-I form-jumbo-pistol extravaganza that Stiney ran.
That was actually way more a hallmark of the Stinespring era. Lefty didn't really use an overabundance of formations, his passing tree and reads we're just so complex a college QB couldn't be efficient in it.
Let alone her countersuing the guy who grabbed her ass during a photo shoot, for total damages of $1, just to prove a point. If you haven't read about her testimony, it is highly worth the time.
Lawyer: If my client is grabbing you as you claim in this picture, why isn't your skirt bunched up in the front?
Swift: Because my ass is in the rear.
The offensive line was pretty good.
That's some lofty goddam praise coming from you, French.
Did we ever get a sideline warning before Fuente got flagged? If we did, I missed it.
The secret to beating GT is no secret: make them play from behind. That's something we have never consistently done since CPJ took over. Hopefully Fuente, Breaker of Curses, finds a way.
Allow me to add the perspective of someone who did grow up in the Appalachian mountains. Having moved to the Midwest fifteen years ago, my kids (who were born here) chuckle but never really understand why I make West Virginia the butt of jokes at every opportunity. When you say the Black Diamond Trophy symbolizes the fanbases' many similarities, you have also stumbled onto the lifeblood of our rivalry with WVU: we aren't them.
The hatred toward WVU that was in abundance in the Big East days drew from a similar source as why I know so many people from the South who can't stand Larry the Cable Guy. The Mountaineers and their fans are a charicature of every negative stereotype of people from the Appalachias. They throw batteries and bottles of piss, try to start fights, yell racial epithets at the opposing players. They are crass, and cringeworthy, and we are better than them.
Odd. Usually it's the people who play against GT that don't have any knees left.
Strohman not taking a single step backwards on punt returns.
It's because we won time of possession, duh.
Another intangible is the national attention this game brought us. Every announcer and analyst was gushing over this game the second it was over. We delivered in the national spotlight. That is precisely how you elevate a program, and is the sort of thing that will bring Game Day back to Blacksburg.
I think that is probably the last time this season WVU gets held to 24 points. We gave up a ton of yards, but I'll take 24 points against a top 25 Big XII team.
That's what I thought too. Everyone was screaming blown knee, but he was being held up on the sideline by another player and visibly upset. If it was a blown knee, he wouldn't have been standing.
Someone in the chem department explain to him about electrolyte dilution.
Honest question: have we EVER looked this polished and disciplined in a season opener? I've been following VT football since the late 90s, and I don't ever recall a more calm and collected Hokie squad in game 1. More than half our penalty yardage came from a bad false start call and our head coach arguing it. No dumb mistakes in an opener this big is a huge deal.

Uh...wat?
