French,
What are your thoughts on Alexander getting the majority of the reps at Rover moving forward? I know you are high on his coverage abilities and had some doubts with this gap filling responsibilities, but Frye has either missed or been out of position several times in a very small sample already.
I noticed a couple of other things about the game:
1) How much bigger/bulkier pads used to be. Did you see the shoulder pads on some of those dudes? Makes them look a LOT bigger than they were.
2) The good old neck roll. If you played anywhere near the line of scrimmage and didn't have a neck roll attached to your shoulder pads you weren't crap. I miss those days...
I definitely high fived the Hokie Bird in the stands during OSU

# | QBs Brenden Motley, Dwayne Lawson Strut Their Stuff, Hokies' Offense Roasts Furman 42-3 Yeah, GT is probably going to be a swift loss, especially if the linebackers don't improve.
I doubt that would have saved London's job. They haven't extended him, so I think they were just saving money for their next coach by keeping him this year.

# | QBs Brenden Motley, Dwayne Lawson Strut Their Stuff, Hokies' Offense Roasts Furman 42-3 This is going to blow Mike London's mind. He'll be all like "Donuts? I'll take 3 dozen!"
Next thing you know it's 36-donut again, and in the hysteria he tells his qb to take a knee in the end zone.
I was at the Mississippi State - LSU game this weekend.
Cowbells are LOUD! They've come up with some rules in the SEC so that you can use cowbells except during plays, when the fans switch from cowbells to the standard yelling. It a close game, it was pretty significant.

# | Virginia Loses a Heartbreaker in the Final Seconds to Notre Dame We can only hope this was enough to keep TimeCop another year, maybe two. If they had won, we'd get 2 or 3 more years with him. If UVA had pulled this one out, they would have hung their hats on it for at least 2 years.

Can confirm HB was in the West Stands in the 4th Quarter.
Notre Dame was leading, 26-14, when their starting quarterback rolled his ankle and left the game. They had missed a 43-yard field goal earlier, and had missed some early scoring opportunities.
The score may have been close at the end, but Notre Dame should have had this game in hand.
Found a replay of his first run from scrimmage.
True. But most teams don't have the obscene depth we have at DT either.
I'm m really curious to hear how our backup DE's did.

# | QBs Brenden Motley, Dwayne Lawson Strut Their Stuff, Hokies' Offense Roasts Furman 42-3 Why does that make it false that Lawson would be carrying a clipboard and learning the offense by watching Brewer play? You can still be the third string QB and spend most of the game taking notes.
The way Durkin runs, you might want to keep track of offensive spears.

Hah. Good point. It's like a palindrome of football badness.
Mike is a great guy. Mike is a leader. He's the best example of a leader that I think we've had.
Great acknowledgement statement by Motley. The closest NFL QB that I can compare to Brewer is Nawlins QB Drew Brees. Maybe this is more because of Brewer's size and headiness. I know Brewer has some long passing concerns, but the rest of his game, toughness, and leadership capabilities are right there with Drew. Brewer is preparing for his hopeful return, which also shows his team leadership capabilities, and prepares him for his career after college. These days, due to his size and lack of paying time, he likely doesn't see the pros. This kid has "coach" written all over him. He has been dealt some cards and he is playing them correctly. Hokie, all the way.
Come to think of it, it did seem like there was more Buckeye than Bird on the field during the first game.
I don't recall seeing him on the field that much but he was hanging out in the NEZ for a while. He's definitely around though
Bring on McKinnon!
Goforth said it's a quad contusion or something. Said none of the players that left have serious injuries.
Yes! I have been so frustrated with our red zone production for the past 4....5......6.....? years.
You can't beat good teams with field goals. You have to put the ball in the end zone. I think we finally have an offense that can do that.
