Didn't realize until just now that Noel completed just as many passes to Miami as he did Virginia Tech
2007 because Vince Hall and Xavier Adibi.
That stuff is amazing. I just had it for the first time two weeks ago. i could drink it by the case.
USCar
TCU
Louisville

Bama
VT...duh.
French expects Riley to play one of the corner spots and Fuller to slide over into the slot when we go to our nickle package.
I have a hard time seeing us line Stroman against Thomas. I think you'll see some movement to put either Brandon or Kendall on Thomas in those situations.
Just did some research and realized his long catch last year was.... 33 yards. Womp. Touche
I still contend that what we saw as a true freshman, plus the word out of camp on his increased size and improved route running, makes him a legitimate threat
I initially read this comment
as a Frank Beamer fan that never played organized Frank Beamer
No, Auburn is favored by 10.5. It looks like BCO switched them in the summary at the bottom of his post.
Saturday, September 5th
Auburn -10.5 vs Louisville (Atlanta) 3:30 pm CBS
I actually expect them to go 3WR, and pick on Stroman, the least experienced guy, in the nickel, covering Thomas in the slot...hopefully Stroman's up for the challenge.
and 3 legit TEs...
South Carolina (the other carolina)
You'll also see USCeast quite a bit too.
The flying Petrinos cover, but the Eagles win
Louisville is favored by 10.5, so both of these things can't happen.
I'd be very happy with a fumble return by a linebacker for a TD. Just sayin'.
On the way back to the huddle Cols Colas (probably spelled wrong) walks past Dorsey and gives him a stiff arm to the chest, knocking him to the ground and drawing a 15 yard Personal Foul with a first down. They get a field goal out of that drive. We lost by two.
Oh sweet baby jesus I remember that play now...Cols Colas....It was such an idiotic penalty.
I just got fired up and CBF angry.
Fumbled snap.
2014 Ohio State is an interesting case....especially from VT's perspective. Obviously they improved more than most teams have ever done. They were terrible against us, I thought they would lose a couple more games. Then they got better and better....and Barrett set all the B10 records...and breaks his ankle. Then they go to Cardale, a middling recruit, a backup player with very little experience, and he gets scorching hot.
it's almost like 2015 Ohio St has to verify 2014 Ohio St.
Compare them to the 2013 Bama team. Loaded with talent, blew threw their schedule.....then had a blocked FG run back for a TD and laid an egg against Big Game Bob in the Sugar Bowl. They blew their last game (+1 play), but it looked like just as good of a team (or better) as 2014 OSU.
He did. And many choose to recall that play as the overall impression of his performance. However, to play devil's advocate, Facyson made some incredible plays on balls in that game as well. In fact, what seems to be called luck by several folks (and yes, there were some lucky drops - on both teams), I saw Kendall and Brandon make several game-changing defends against catchable balls where they just outhustled the OSU players.
#1 was what Jim Harbaugh and the Trees did to the Hokies in the Orange Bowl. Of course they had Andrew Luck.
Maybe have Deon show Bear and then match up on the TE, while the Rover blitzes.
By focusing on the interior of the defensive line, you should be able to spot Foster's Bear package just as quickly.
INSERT BUD FOSTER/BEAR DICK JOKES HERE!!!
The last of his 4 for the game. Which is the same number of passes he completed to his teammates IIRC.
I wanted to share a GIF here of Andy Samberg as Nick Cage, but my phone is not cooperating.
Yeah, it was brutal.
We were ranked 14th in that game, but look back at our talent. Besides KJ (160 rushing), we didn't have much else. Ferguson was a mythical figure and had 2 goal line TD's and a 42 yard reception. Andre Davis didn't catch a pass (Noel only completed 4!). Burns was a good punter. Even on defense, we had Pile (18 tackles!), McCadam, Ronyell, Daniels, Taylor, Welch, Houseright, Beasley, Pugh, NAdibi, Cobb, Lallis, Colas, Green. How many of those guys would start on the 2015 defense? Taylor, Welch and Pile? Pugh and Beasley were a great pair, but only Beasley had even a minimal NFL career.
Guys like Noel, EJohnson, RJohnson, DeMasi, Owens, Slowikowski, Burnell, Warley, Wynn, Wilds.....these were important players at that time. The talent level is much better now but we're not a top 15 team.
Wow, is right. This kid already has a lifetime of highlights and he's just getting started. I believe we could find room for him in a pinch, right?
