hey a$$hole get back on topic.
I just hope we can capitalize on these mistakes. I think forsure the BC game was a one off circumstance where we had maybe 3 or 4 dropped INTS 2 or 3 of which ended up in completions for 1st downs, that is absolutely back braking in a close game which hopefully this wont be.
One thing that hurt glennon though was we had more talent at the position for him to compete with. Brewer had no one to make him earn the spot.

# | A Second-Look At Travon McMillian's Touchdown Reception Against Boston College If you can't get people out of it, the combinations, and kind of fun stuff you get to do on offense is really, really limited.
And then the real chess match began.
I love having a coach that thinks offense is neat.
A couple weeks ago Hendon Hooker threw a punch in a game. So there's that.
In the second quarter with the Dudley High School Panthers in scoring position, quarterback Hendon Hooker ran the ball on first down. After Hooker was tackled on about the 5-yard line the referees threw the yellow flag.
The refs gave Hooker an unsportsmanlike penalty for throwing a punch.
He was ejected and will be suspended for one game for the penalty per NCHSAA rules.
Update: Per @HokiesFTW123, his suspension was dropped.
The thing I've noticed about bad drivers is that there is a difference between a bad VA driver/bad NJ driver vs. a bad MD driver. When I was learning to drive (in NoVA) with my dad (who was from NJ), one of the first rules of driving was, "if you're going to do something, f***ing do it. Indecision kills." (Rule #1 was, "this is my car, so if I say to do something, you will do it with no question.") My dad was, hands down, the best driver I ever knew. He could maneuver anything, from motorcycle to small car to a trailer or moving truck, you name it. I saw him avoid accidents several times with brilliant technique. So when he spoke, I listened.
If I run into a "bad" driver in VA, it's usually because he/she cut me off or something. That's easy to deal with. The person may be a jerk, but that's an action I can see and to which I can react. MD drivers, man, that's a whole different boat. Signaling left and drifting into a right lane, before swerving to (over)correct, jamming on the brakes while merging onto the Beltway for NO REASON except maybe they're scared of a highway. Mind-blowing stuff that comes from fear, poor training, or simply hesitancy to take an action.

# | A Second-Look At Travon McMillian's Touchdown Reception Against Boston College I also think Miami used this unbalanced line set to get Greg Olson open on us all game in the 2006 game :(
Can't speak to today's crop up there but growing up in NoVa in the 70's made me an excellent driver.... I learned how to maneuver through traffic on streets where ten pounds of traffic flowed through a five pound pipeline and sometimes you mixed in a liberal amount of Maryland drivers to really make things a challenge. As a result, I have never had an accident in traffic and avoided some collisions where passengers turned to me afterwards and asked, "How the hell did you do that?". It's all about having your head on a swivel and knowing where all the cars around you are and what those Maryland types are going to try..... And by the way.... Scottie Montgomery has been in North Carolina for years but still carries a Maryland Drivers License.

# | A Second-Look At Travon McMillian's Touchdown Reception Against Boston College As stated the eligible receiver has to be on the end of the line of scrimmage. The beauty on this play is most unbalanced lines are run heavy formations since you have RT and LT right next to each other, so the defense was more then likely thinking run. Which made the play action even more effective.
I definitely think brewer was better than glennon, he wasn't perfect but the kid could flat play and had the heart and determination of a champion

# | Shibest Looking For Improvement From "Pups" on Special Teams as ECU Rematch Looms Yeah. If anyone has been blaming someone like Graham with his pedigree, I'm going to have to call bullshit by default.
I'm hoping this is nothing. Would be disappointing if Shibest was complaining about his kicker getting pointers from an outside expert, especially if his own coaching consists of "the uprights are straight. Just put the ball between them."
NJ drivers do have an excuse.... having to deal with traffic circles and the jug handle left turns on a daily basis could screw with any drivers mind...

# | Shibest Looking For Improvement From "Pups" on Special Teams as ECU Rematch Looms I think Joey has a "mental coach" that helps him back at home/someone he calls. I'm pretty sure he brought him up during spring ball as someone who helps during the summer.

# | A Second-Look At Travon McMillian's Touchdown Reception Against Boston College Ford is 2 yards back from the LOS on the wrong side of the formation from the "TE" Nijman. I'm sure he meant that Bucky is covering Nijman on the LOS.

# | A Second-Look At Travon McMillian's Touchdown Reception Against Boston College Can't tell who but there was someone actually blocking down field deep in the end zone. Great job. Ford maybe.

# | A Second-Look At Travon McMillian's Touchdown Reception Against Boston College As posted below, Nijman is covered by Hodges, is ineligible, and doesn't have slow the play process down by reporting.
An unbalanced line isn't all that unusual. Looks like when Fu went up tempo and does this, the defense quickly lines up as if Cunningham is the LT and has no time to recalibrate. It throws everything off.
To my untrained eye, looks like 13 had Cunningham covered but the unbalanced line and motion left number 11 and a DB (couldn't see the number) with pretty much nothing to do.
Fu is evil...heh, heh, heh, heh.

# | A Second-Look At Travon McMillian's Touchdown Reception Against Boston College Yeah Ford isn't on the LOS, that would make Cunningham inelgible if he was.,
Scottie Montgomery cares about the student in student athlete. He one day hopes his players can get the same quality education that UNC players get in the African/African-American Studies department.
This is the first time I've ever heard anyone say a position battle is bad for one of the players involved.
