What he doesn't have two legs?
Based on watching today's practice, what I'd project the #Hokies' two-deep looks like for the Duke's Mayo Bowl: pic.twitter.com/W3Me2qFspc— David Cunningham (@therealdcunna) December 18, 2024
Good to know that's what he was dealing with while being used as a battering ram against Clemson.
Brent Pry said QB Kyron Drones is dealing with an MCL, a stress fracture and turf toe. #Hokies— Andy Bitter (@AndyBitterVT) December 18, 2024
NDSU's head coach from 2 years ago (Matt Entz) hopped to be USC's DC last year and was just hired to be HC at Fresno St. The HC before him, Chris Klieman, is the HC at Kansas St. NDSU's HC before Klieman was Craig Bohl, who retired after 10 years at Wyoming about a year ago. They have been consistently getting picked off with increasing frequency. There's also the reality that NDSU is no longer the main FCS power. It's SDSU now after winning the last two titles.
Yeah, bet accordingly
Colorado just took Kaidon Salter from Liberty out of the portal to be their starting QB next year.
I suppose that means Corny is back on the job hunt
Big time position of need and perception transfer (from VA) if true. Also makes me wonder if he may have an idea who the new DC may be...and that they may have a specialty in safeties...hmmmmm
Sounds like it's Sherrod Covil from Clemson
Sources tell me Clemson DB Sherrod Covil Jr. will transfer to Virginia Tech @rodZilla03 🚨 pic.twitter.com/rKcIWNDIun— College Transfer Portal (@CollegeFBPortal) December 18, 2024

Funny enough that's also the second and third team.
Look at Deion. Great where he started, it has not 100% converted to the P4 level. Colorado isn't even playing for the lead in their conference let alone nationally.
Open Thread...
Sees Portal Targets go elsewhere....

1995 nebraska is the greatest team ever and its not particularly close.
If he's good, then the chatter should start
I think everyone agrees that Pry's seat is hot. If things don't turn around significantly, he could find himself out of a job within two years—a new DC, OL Coach, and S&C coach may buy him some time, but it's not looking great.
Vick could go undefeated in his first couple of seasons, and it'd still seem like an incredibly thin resume to hire as our next Head Coach.
He has a lot of VT bona fides, plenty of college & pro experience, and is a significant figure in our most important recruiting ground...but all of that wouldn't overcome the major concerns I would have about hiring a coach from a low-level MAC program who has a hot start.
Much higher likelihood that someone in that situation is simply a flash in the pan vs. the next Deion Sanders.
In other news on FCS, the Ivy League has announced they will participate for FCS playoffs next year.

New Mexico RB Eli Sanders to USCw. Was a hokie target
I would've seen the 6.5 and assumed it was an over/under for VT players entering the transfer portal after kickoff.
So Parker Clements, Jennings, Fuga(?), and the Gosnells are the only players that were 1st string or OR designated this year? Solid.
