RB Myles Willis handles kick return duties for the Eagles, a job that won't even require stretching, pads, or even legs really. Joey Slye is one of two kickers in the country to have 100% of their kickoffs go for touchbacks this season

Look for something on Hokie Vision soon tracking this.

The Stats that Define Virginia Tech's Season
Revisiting my column from this summer on the stats that will define the season, here is how the Hokies performed thus far (each listed as VT - Opponent):

Opponent PPP Pace (sec/play) ToP
Liberty .40 - .21 22.7 - 25.5 33:42 - 26:18
Tennessee .33 - .71 26.1 - 26.1 31:44 - 28:16

I will not value time of possession.

Oh, I get it. So the game where we did better in ToP, we won handily. /s

For those of you who haven't been around long enough, before there was Fuck Matt Ryan, there was Fuck Donovan McNabb. Same rules apply. Don't ask about the 98 game in the Carrier Dome unless you want to get punched in the mouth. Don't watch the ending unless you want to punch someone else in the mouth.

Damn, I just got myself worked up. Luckily my door was closed so nobody heard the stream of profanity that I just spat out. God, I hate Syracuse. Nothing like some good, clean, Big East hate!

Driving from Richmond, and spending a couple days in Chicago after the game.

We have a busy morning in NC, but I will be there. Pregame will involve driving like a bat out of hell up I-81 sometime after lunch, Tokyo Drift maneuver into a spot somewhere off Draper Road soon after 3pm, run at a 7 minute mile pace to the stadium, and then start the bidding war for two decent tickets for my son and I, hopefully in time for kickoff.

I think this game will tell us a lot about this team and the coaching staff. If we can score 30 plus against BC, watch out, we might have a very real shot at going to Charlotte or wherever they the ACCCG. If we win a scrappy low scoring encounter, 6-7 wins is the ceiling for the team. If we lose, well I be surprised if make a bowl. This is a definitive statement game for the offence and the offensive staff. Another sloppy performance and media statements about sub optimal preparations, I think we see big changes in playing personnel and maybe even the staff.

Ya know, in theory I feel good facing off against BC despite their year-in-year-out strong defense and their new offensive wrinkle with Scot Loeffler. I saw some wheel routes in game 1 and 2 with his name all over them.

But then, I cringe at the turnovers seared into my brain. If the Hokies can manage to lower their game average of fumbles/fumbles lost and keep the turnover margin to at least -1, I think we'll win by 2 scores, 9+.

If the Hokies manage to stay put on turnovers per game, we're gonna lose and its gonna look bad and feel bad. BC D is no scrubs, especially up front, where are woes start. They should have won that GT game. I can see them holding the Hokies to 20 points or less.

Towles, despite being a lifetime loser and product of SEC a bottomfeeder Kentucky has some game. He devoted this whole season's worth of game to the most influential figure in 2016, Harambe. That's guaranteed to give him some boost. He is a HUGE upgrade over those shmucks BC ran out last year. Doug Flutie's nephew is now the acting water boy while Darius Wade is catching passes.

If we spot them a few drives with excellent field position, like we did UT, it's gonna be an miserable day.

Well my wife and her mother are going to the Wilderness Trail event in Christiansburg so that is going to restrict what time I can get to the lot and set up the tailgate. So I guess early morning will involve mowing the lawn while others are firing up their grills.
