I'll send thoughts and prayers your way as you enter the war zone. Stay safe, be alert, keep your head on a swivel, and godspeed.
Based on his stats, Hurts shouldn't be ahead of Evans. Hurts isn't even top 50 in passing eff and isn't a top 50 runner either.
Could he end up as "the guy" on a play off team, which almost gives him an automatic trip to the ceremony? Yes, but based on his numbers, he's not worthy of being in the discussion and not worthy of being ahead of any qb that's top 20, at this point of the season.

# | A Second-Look At Travon McMillian's Touchdown Reception Against Boston College We are now a one read, quick strike and go offense. Evans' first read was McMillan who was open, so he quickly went to him, as he should. On a beautifully executed play like that, it is not Evans' "read" to second guess the play and throw to Cunningham, because he appears more open. In fact, Cunningham isn't even looking for the ball since he had correctly run and rubbed off the defender. Great play that was perfectly executed.
I personally could care less if my boy Rod gets recognized for the heisman
don't get me wrong..I never said, nor thought, that this team quit. Crumbling under pressure, to me, is not the same as just plain quitting. The problem is that this team fought too hard. They were pressing, and they lost focus as a result. They didn't need to press. It looked like they crumbled to me because when the first mistake happened (the fumbled exchange b/w Evans and Carrol deep in our territory) the team never again looked quite like the confident team we saw in the first quarter. They looked like they lost a little focus and they lost fumbles because they were pressing and fighting for every inch. They most definitely did not quit. I just think they fell apart from lack of focus and discipline. I think the 45-24 result supports my claim.
What I like about Evans so far is that he isn't trying to force anything. He goes out there and does what's asked of him. He's not trying to win the game on his own.
This is music to Fuente's ears.
Yeah, this is called the Akili Smith Rule of Drafting Quarterbacks.
Heyyy fellow tkpers!
I personally could care less if my boy Rod gets recognized for the heisman. What matters is he is the type of qb we need. I believe with him at the helm. We will be the team that reps the coastal in the acc ship.

# | A Second-Look At Travon McMillian's Touchdown Reception Against Boston College No, If you watch closely 13 has him covered until Evans makes the pass to a wide open McMillan.
If the fumbles are eliminated, he throws for at least 200 yds/game with at least 3 td's per game and one int per three games, he would be considered for the heisman. That's it.
I hope they press charges.

# | Shibest Looking For Improvement From "Pups" on Special Teams as ECU Rematch Looms New install happens every week. But judging how Jerod actually spoke in the video, "We just put in a new play (grinning wildly)...(back to serious)book, so to speak."
After watching Memphis film, don't be surprised to see a unique trick play thrown in.
It's Virginia Tech mf'ing football. I'm excited for every game.
I like the sound of "little sister pirates".
Yeah, let's get back to that already.

# | Vintage Virginia Tech Performance Exorcises Demons in Win Against Boston College I think they were just doing the hand jive. I've heard Fuente and Evans are big Grease fans.
At the first sign of trouble in Bristol this team completely crumbled.
I keep seeing this sentiment around here, but y'all must have watched a different game than I did (though granted even though I was in row 5 my view was not that great). I never saw a drop in effort the entire second half. Sure, our second quarter was about as bad as our first quarter was good, but after halftime the defense held way more often than not, and the offense kept moving down the field only to cough up the ball at just the wrong time. Even then, I never saw this team quit. Up until the muffed punt with 9 minutes left to play they were playing like they could still win the game, even down 31-17, after tons of mistakes. And then the defense allowed a 4-play, 40+ yard TD drive, immediately after having forced a crucial punt, but this was well after "the first sign of trouble".
What I expect to see is that same attitude, like the offense is going to come back and score whenever the defense gives up a TD. The only difference is that hopefully (knock on wood) we don't fumble it away, and actually stick it in. I think this team believes that they can score against anyone, given the right plays and good execution.

# | A Second-Look At Travon McMillian's Touchdown Reception Against Boston College So, my question on a QB grading scale...shouldn't Evans have thrown the ball to Cunningham? The defender is between them with a chance to get McMillan, but Cunningham would have been untouched going into the endzone. Is this a negative in the Read, but a positive in the Result type of play for Evans?
Also, Cunningham starts celebrating the touchdown when Travon is on the 5 and is pointing him to the end zone. Pretty funny

# | A Second-Look At Travon McMillian's Touchdown Reception Against Boston College It does from the aspect he can ask the offensive coaches about things but once the season starts, Bud isn't practicing against our offense much if at all, he is practicing against the scout team offense simulating the opponent's offense. Spring ball and fall camp is really when he will see any benefit.

# | A Second-Look At Travon McMillian's Touchdown Reception Against Boston College Yeah but we beat them in 2006 so who cares :)
so what you're saying is he is as much a heismann worthy QB as Peyton was a superbowl champion QB with the Broncos?
