This is the epitome of why Fuente says "we are 1-0" every single week.
add pitt to that!
Hes definitely making the best of what you can expect in a single year of time to improve. He still misses some tackles, but I'd take Moto as my MLB any day of the week on this squad.
Yeah, watching NSCU-ND players look like they were flopping around in a wading pool was just sad. I spent the whole time worrying that someone was going to seriously injure himself, even on a non-contact play. Running out of bounds in those conditions becomes dangerous.
CH didn't have as much rain as Raleigh but it was still bad. The lots were seeing some large pools form in low spots about 4 hours prior to kickoff and the wind was whipping there for a while. The drainage we and UNC have need to be mandatory in all stadiums going forward, with the conferences willing to compensate to get it done.
I know we have all been harsh on Motu in the past, but we need to give credit where credit is due. He has improved vastly since last year.

# | Hurricane Conditions don't slow the Hokies in a dominant 34 - 3 win I thought it was hilarious that the commentators brought that up yesterday. The one guy said something about how Bud was mixing up his defense and being more aggressive, to which the other responded, "he has an offense now." OUCH. Accurate, though.
Syracuse has a really good receiver named Amba Etta-Tawo. He only had 36 yards last against Wake last night (perhaps the weather had something to do with it) but for the season he has 51 catches for 876 yards and 6 TDs in 6 games.
Someone mentioned it on r/cfb but it's worth saying here as well. Fuente and his offense and coaching philosophy has made a clear, rejuvenating impact on Bud and his defense. Bud looks a lot younger and relaxed as well. It's amazing what having an offense can do to the defense. I feel like Bud also knows that they might have a winning formula here and the barrier that prevented VT from ever reaching the 'elite' level under Beamer might be breached with Fuente. I just hope his loyalty is finally rewarded through a championship.
Really did. It almost looked like it was being played in an entirely different state. I couldn't believe it at first. Props to UNC's groundscrew and technology.

Participate. Get recognition. Profit.
Just goes to show all of our hard work gripping those wet sloppy balls all week paid off... Makes it extremely difficult when you have a stiff penetrating defense like that.
Sure trap game
I also think this team isn't going to allow itself to look past anyone this year. They're looking to send a message to anyone and everyone we play. They're out for blood this year.
Yeah, UNCs field situation put NC States to shame.
My 12 year old son, who was decked out in Hokie gear from his Danny Coale jersey to his shorts, socks, and maroon Nike shoes with orange laces, watched the whole game. When Greg Stroman laid (or "layed"? I'm an engineer) out a receiver on one of UNC's many dropped passes, my son says "Was that Greg Stroke-man?" I said "No. Stroman." And Ben said "No, Stroke-man. Because he just stroked that guy!"
I'll be honest. I got a little misty-eyed. I'm a total success as a parent.
[And how does one of the big names with awful D not back the money truck up to Bud this offseason? I'm just saying.]
Somebody give me gigantic smoked Turkey legs!! I've seen many posts I want to upvote but apparently as a noob I need some 'legs' of my own!! But well said MiklsanVT93... Bud and the LPD IS back and the conference is now officially on notice! BudFu is gonna get after ya! Btw, you graduate in '93 or born in '93?

Done
Gotta give credit where credit is due... That field held up exceptionally well given the rain we had all day long.
I'M GOING TO CHICK-FIL-A TODAY!!!!!!!!!!
I think I'm on four but I don't measure so four is relative.
Glad to hear it. Always very scary when a player has to be taken off on a board. Hope he recovers fully from any injury that he may have.
I remember hearing 'H-O-K-I-E-S, HOKIES! and loving it. Didn't hear a lot of noise, cheers, band, anything from the Heels.
New day in the Pac 12. Oregon and Stanford not what they used to be and the teams from Washington look like the best two teams in the conference at the moment.
When do the Chip back to Oregon rumors start?
