Anyone else see our next DC in this film? I don't know jack about football X's and O's, but his DB results speak for themselves. I hope we keep him for a long, long time...
Here are all the other one's if you've missed them.
Terrific work. I think this my favorite since your 2009 trailer (which I still watch on a fairly regular basis, btw.)

(Don't like the throw from Brewer...hope it was "placed" in there on purpose.)

Anyone wanting to understand the leverage technique, listen to this closely. By teaching the hand placement when pressing (and I am still working on this piece), the DBs can play leverage without giving away their technique pre-snap. This is huge, because it can allow the D to disguise their leverage. That is critical to baiting a QB into throwing into a leverage or hide a robber.
Best of the "mic'd" series so far.
Not really. There are probably only three or four power 5 level kids each year in the state of Nebraska - and most are 3* at best. If the Univ of Nebraska gets (or wants or needs) 2 of those 3 or 4 kids (in a class of 20 or so), that's roughly your 9% right there.
With scholarship limits, if Nebraska fills it's roster with much more than 10% in-state kids, they might as well be on probation with a reduced scholarships.
Just a guy that LOVES football, and extolling that knowledge on others. Positive attitude and a great approach. Loved watching him in a VT helmet, and glad he's got the VT floppy now.
0:38, I believe - looks like 31 puts on the hit after the interception.

Torrian, never leave pls
Just for stats sake, teams were 7-4 the week after playing Navy in 2013.
I'm not sure where you get that Braxton isn't shift enough. He did pretty well as a QB cutting and making defenders miss; if anything I would think a PR would be easier because you don't have defenders down filed once you get past the initial point of contact, except maybe for the kicker.
I agree about UVA - to me Charlottesville is just a poor man's Blacksburg. But UMD and NCst are city schools. Blacksburg isn't urban enough for some kids, I get it.
I have trouble getting riled up or angry at our coaches about recruiting. When I walked on campus at VT, I just loved it. I don't know why I felt this way, but it wasn't a feeling any person could emulate or manufacture for me. If some player steps foot on campus at Alabama and feels the same way (I've been to Tuscaloosa, and I'm not sure how anyone could feel this way, but I digress), then how the hell are our coaches supposed to convince him otherwise?
That was fantastic! I think what perhaps distinguished this for me versus the other amazing Hokie videos is that the crescendo pacing and tight shots create a sense of urgency, energy, and focus. It is about Hokie spirit, not specific hits or plays that are typically featured. I loved it!
This makes me randy baby, YEAH!
I don't think it says anything about how tough it was to play Navy. You had teams with poor records that lost after playing Navy; something that happened after the played other teams as well, a 2 loss losing streak is not that add given the teams' records. People are assuming playing Navy lead to the loss and that is some sort of anomaly rather than simply poor teams losing again; those teams just happen to have Navy as a common opponent.
Common misconception:
They ate the cake, got a sugar rush, and went after the rich for more cake.
These are the major two reservations that have inhibited my purchase of a ticket on the "Bud for HC" train.
Back in the day before scholarship limits, Nebraska had a policy that one kid from each county in the state was awarded a football scholarship. They used to routinely dress 100 kids for each game.
"There's nothing wrong with Virginia Tech but I didn't want to stay home," said Yulee, ranked the No. 3 prospect in the state by ESPN and No. 5 by Rivals. "I wanted to go somewhere far away ... I just wanted to get away."I wonder if the way recruiting is now nationwide, we're going to see a decreasing amount of players staying in-state, merely because kids want the allure and adventure of going somewhere out-of-state for school
No stats to back this up, but I think the desire to 'move away from home' is there for a lot of incoming college students, not just student athletes. With the today's technology, it's easy to travel/move out of driving distance from home, but still stay connected with your family/friends. Who wouldn't take advantage of that? The opportunity to explore a new place FOR FREE?!

# | "Virginia Tech offensive coordinator Scot Loeffler seeks more balance in his life" So instead we should compare him to a situation 25 years ago because that's far more accurate.
Brandon Facyson looks very fluid and smooth. As a freshman, he looked awkward as hell, but his closing speed made the difference. If you add technique to that closing speed, oh my. That said, Bonner played as a deep third a bunch Facyson's freshman year as a safety blanket. They will want Chuck Clark to be more active than Bonner had to be against that early schedule where everybody was a spread team back in 2013. That may require Facyson to play a little more conservatively if he doesn't have deep help.
