# | Stewart Mandel Picks 2016 Hokies to Finish 5-7, No. 6 in ACC Coastal I've heard that theory, Jerrodd Williams left our team after like 3-4 seasons and walked on at Clemson (he is from Daniel HS, 8-10 minutes from Clemson's campus). Not out of the realm of possibility, but never saw any info from a reputable source.
because Clemson knew the exact plays we were running supposedly.
lol yeah I get FSU, GT, Wake, and UM ticket sales emails all summer and phone calls. they always get a good chuckle when I tell them I only purchase single game tickets every other year to give me a call back when VT plays them. FSUs office is pretty good about taking notes they actually only call now when VT games are coming up. wish I could say the same for the rest.

# | Freshman Josh Jackson "not really surprised" to be in the hunt for quarterback you ain't lion
I refuse to allow this person to change my opinion on anything
I think if we can minimize turnovers (like you say) and also avoid going 3-and-out 8 times a game we should be a 7 or 8 win team
fair enough...I'll concede the point on Clemson/FSU (I still think Clemson will win that one) but Pitt??!?!

# | Freshman Josh Jackson "not really surprised" to be in the hunt for quarterback Well if you're the son of a coach and former player, you'll probably be a pretty good player in your own right.

# | Stewart Mandel Picks 2016 Hokies to Finish 5-7, No. 6 in ACC Coastal Please god, let it be Clemson.
Stewart Mandel is one of my favorite CFB media members. 5 wins is our floor IMO, but definitely possible. FWIW, Mandel also picked us to go 11-2 and appear in the fiesta bowl last year.
there isn't much reason as cfb media/personality to look into most of the other ACC teams going into this season.
Bold prediction - UL beats either Clemson or FSU this season.

# | Freshman Josh Jackson "not really surprised" to be in the hunt for quarterback Yeah both pixels
Papa Johns pepperoni rolls are fatty greasy savory delicious nuggets of perfection
If anything, this only builds the hype. VT has a record of being a better team when every one thinks they are gonna suck!! This kind of suckage prediction mean 8 wins or more.
It's just a normal day for team pie.
That guy was huge in person! My high school, John Battle, was never good at football but they did have a play-off year back in 2012 and I went to watch them play Fort Chiswell and get the win. The win required a field goal and the kicker missed the snap, but ended up throwing a pass to the endzone. Great game. Coleman Thomas looked good.
Hoping Chance Hall the best and a return to football on the 17th!

# | Stewart Mandel Picks 2016 Hokies to Finish 5-7, No. 6 in ACC Coastal Overall, I think his predictions weren't particularly well thought out, but it's understandable. Outside of Clemson, FSU, and UNC at a distant third, there isn't much reason as cfb media/personality to look into most of the other ACC teams going into this season.
edit: I also agree that Clemson should be the preseason favorite, no doubt, but if Francois turns out to be a good QB, the narrative might shift. That said, it's too big of a question mark for the basis of an offseason prediction.
Maybe they know something about you we don't know...
Naaaaah.
Welp, this certainly tempers expectations.

# | Freshman Josh Jackson "not really surprised" to be in the hunt for quarterback I have to put a marble in my mouth to say it right.
That would be epic.

Pitt is more likely to start the season 1-2 (they play Ok. State and Penn State) than go 9-3.
