# | Shibest Looking For Improvement From "Pups" on Special Teams as ECU Rematch Looms I think that's what they said after he threw that pass in the Military Bowl. And didn't he throw another one against anOSU the 2nd time?
I meant liberty plays ECU instead of us. You know, like a wingman taking the fat friend.
Thanks guys! Guess that has relevance because home field is given some weight in these predicted outcomes? Or it doesn't, and you show it that way so we can add our own mental weight to home field if we choose?
I mean if BYU can do it...

I'd prefer if ODU took that spot. show our face in the 757 every other year, great for recruiting.

# | Vintage Virginia Tech Performance Exorcises Demons in Win Against Boston College Unlike Lefty, Fuente has established the swing-screen to the tailback (to the field) and the fade to the boundary) on film and in the game. BC overreacted because they had seen both earlier in the game.
Lefty was excellent in designing a passing game. In terms of calling a run game and building counters off base plays that have success, he was pretty dismal. Like I said all summer, Fuente shows the defense everything from the same basic formation and backfield motion. It makes it much harder to defend, especially when the defender is tired and tries to cheat to get an advantage.
They've always done it that you had to pick every week to be crowned the actual winner at the end...
well, maybe Liberty thinks that with the increased scholarships, they could make a play for Virginia players that don't end up at Tech? I mean, they will be the only FBS school in central Virginia which makes them conveniently located for anyone in NC or VA. If they just assume they'll be aiming at 2*-3*, there's a ton of talent to be had without even recruiting outside the region. Find a nice spot in Sun Belt or something and they could start working towards relevancy and an AAC invite at some point. Maybe we can convince them to take over our yearly game against Eastern Carolina?

# | Despite Isaiah Ford's Daring End Zone Grab, Justin Fuente Hoping to Rein in Jerod Evans Against ECU Watching it right now. Yes, a ton of screens and short outs and crossing routes.
So what I gather is that Mook is going to feast this Saturday.
I imagine it will look something like this with the ECU fans looking on.....
..kidding me?
so that's puts us at what, 3 FBS teams in the state of Virginia? Us, ODU, and Liberty. how fun.
living in lynchburg i know a lot of people at various positions in the university. Here's what I've heard: for a long time the school was requiring a ton of outside money (quid pro quo donations from politicians, Falwell Sr's televangelist cash, etc) to keep functioning. They were so far in the red, their books could be used to keep food warm at Moe's. Their attendance and alumni base grew over the years and they crept towards functioning more like a normal university. Lately, they're online enrollment has skyrocketed, which has helped a ton. Apparently as of two years ago, they are completely weaned from non-traditional funding for normal operations. So any extra money getting poured into the school is going straight into big money improvements (buildings, sports complex, another bridge over 460, etc).

It's their online student base, largest in the country. Between 70-80,000 online students.

# | Vintage Virginia Tech Performance Exorcises Demons in Win Against Boston College Also consider the fact that by the time in the game that Motley's run happened, BC's defense was absolutely gassed. So yeah, it worked well, but the success of the play was also based on a defense that was totally whipped at that point. Right after that score, VT brought in Click to try to bleed the clock.
Is the school built on a diamond mine or something? That place has exploded in the last 8 to 10 years. I knew televangelists can bring in some cash but damn. Not saying its a bad place because I do have some friends that went/go there, but the amount of growth at the speed at which its happened sort of makes you pause a little bit. Either they really are printing money or are going well beyond their means and a hard crash is coming

Currently at the .500 mark. Week 4 is the make or break, more or less, for better or worse, in this world or the next, on a cloud or in a jet, living high or in a net, with a friend or some guy named Chet, drinking an ale or a sour with Brett.
Wisconsin at Michigan State -5.5 I'm done disrespecting Sparty
Pittsburgh at North Carolina -7.5 Pitt's pass D is porous, but Conner will run for 1,000
Florida at Tennessee -6.5 The Purdue QB SEC takeover continues as the streak marches to 12
Penn State at Michigan -19.5 Michigan is overrated and plays cupcakes, but I hope Penn State goes winless after last week (and they deserve a fresh set of sanctions as well)
Stanford -3.5 at UCLA Tree over bear. Lock of the week.
Arkansas vs. Texas A&M -5.5 Sumlin going from hot seat to hero

I have been waiting a LONG time for WW in VA.

# | Vintage Virginia Tech Performance Exorcises Demons in Win Against Boston College I get all that, but we never had much success trying to do that with Lefty, and i'm wondering why all of a sudden it worked so beautifully. Maybe i'm answering my own question, but it's most likely due to the fact that opposing D's never respected our screen game enough with Lefty to pursue the motioned player that would clear out the LBs?
oohhh, my bad. got ya.
