When has Ford shown he can bust a big play?
I hope we aren't down 14 by the time we get our first offensive snap.
I was at that game. Heartbreaking.
1) The defender should always have his head up and see what he is hitting, therefor his eyes are always on the ball carrier.
2) Part of tackling in space is maintaining your leverage so that even if the runner makes a move, he is still in a position to be tackled.
3) Moto would be filling a hole so the space is limited. He definitely needs to be controlled but aggressive does not mean wreckless. When he fills the hole, don't stop in it, meet the runner in the backfield instead of waiting for him. Experience will help him trust his instincts so his head doesn't tie up his feet.
Moto is a big fella back there, lay that lumber into the RB and don't let the RB be the lower player.
2001 Miami was the greatest assembly of college football talent and moxie that has ever graced a field
2004 USC > 2015 Buckeyes
But the 2015 Buckeyes are in the conversation with 2004 USC, which is still high praise
I don't think people are giving 2007 LSU enough credit either.....That was the most physical, hit-you-in-the-mouth offense we've ever played. 3rd and 3? Jacob Hester for 4 yards 100% of the time.
That team was talented. Matt Flynn, Glen Dorsey, Jacob Hester, Trindon Holliday, Ricky Jean-Francois, Craig Steltz, Terrance Tolliver, Keiland Williams, Brandon LaFell are all guys who I remember who I think became NFL guys.
UGA really only needs a 1 year guy as Eason will likely start at QB once on campus next year.
clearly you are not a finance major

See you on here Monday night
Watching the Miami-Nebraska game I felt the end of an era... That being major programs running a strictly option offense. I know GT still hangs on but they are far from a top-tier program.
Anyone can hand the ball to Chubb 40 times a game.
I don't think there's any might to this one. The most talented college football team I have seen.
Hopefully something like this!!!!
Lambert is clearly a pretty good QB as he just won a competition against pretty highly regarded guys.
At Georgia he will fit the typical SEC mold...strong running game, heavy dose of high % play action passes. Lambert in my opinion has the same or better physical tools as Aaron Murray, AJ McCarron, Zach Mettenberger, etc, etc, etc. I wouldn't be surprised to see him have a very successful year and make it to the NFL.
At UVA he had a piss poor OL, questionable skill players, and a coaching circus. Kid made a smart decision.
Here's to hoping Matt Johns tweaks a hamstring or gets turf toe (would never wish a serious injury on a kid) and we get to watch the funniest backup QB situation in college football.
We were also very Noel'd.
Good tribute. I still think we should rename the press box/luxury suite complex on the West Stands to the James Weaver Tower, as that was his first real big project that will stand the test of time in Blacksburg
A lot of our breakdowns recently make the bear look seem Bullet Proof when executed with sound technique. Foster is a genius, but so is Urban Meyer.
A guy like that doesn't win a ton of games at 3 different programs without having great schemes and counters. I keep wondering what Urban Meyer is brewing up for this game. I mean he got his pants pulled down by the Bear last year. He has to have been cooking something up in his lab for this revenge game besides inside slants and vertical routes.

And we're at home. Guess we gotta go big!
In that case, you are very young and that makes me sad.
I would rank USC as the better team because of the Bosa suspension. If Bosa (and the other three) were eligible, I would rank this as the 2nd best team I've ever seen VT play....to the 2001 Miami team. And it would be close between Full Ohio State and Miami.
I can't compare it to the Bama team that beat VT 77-6 in 1973. That's before my time, but that team was 11-1 with a 24-23 loss to Notre Dame in the Sugar Bowl.
a soccer mom in a Tahoe makes a right turn from the far left lane
That happens in every suburban area on a daily basis.
I was sentenced to 4 years in Florida. You get down there and you think it's all beaches and golf courses and warm weather and the next thing you know some 70 year old Puerto Rican lady shoves you at the Publix meat counter, a soccer mom in a Tahoe makes a right turn from the far left lane, and then you have to deal with this!
You would think the UVA odor would be hard to wash off
And half of the continental United States' grandparents.
It will be interesting to see if the stench of mediocrity follows him to Athens.

In reading the recap of that game because of this thread, I forgot that we had the ball back even after the dropped 2 PT at the 50, needing just a FG to win, and Noel threw another pick to Ed Reed.
