If anyone is watching preseason games and sees a Hokie do something well or even get on the field make a comment here to share since most of the games are not nationally televised.
My response, ScoreBoard
Yeah I think he was over there last year, too, per his Wikipedia:
In June 2014, Fox Sports announced it had hired Mandel as a senior columnist covering college football and basketball.[5] He wrote his first column for FoxSports.com on July 8, 2014
I can only imagine what Enter Sandman is going to be like on 9/7...
Hold on to your butts
Gonna have to revive these
This is all I'm gonna say about threads like these:
Obligatory
Case and point. Defense and special teams provide opportunities and limit the need for an explosive offense. Defense and special teams, coupled with an offense that protects the football, helping to minimize or increase the difficulty of the opponents offense scoring points.
On a side note, did your field goal unit progress through the year? I know your kicker really struggled in our game last year and it had a big impact on momentum let alone the score. A couple of missed kicks on either side could be the difference this year.
As someone who had to listen to JMU fans say that they were the ACC champs the year we lost to them and went on to win the ACC, I can assure you that you would never hear such things come out of my mouth. And I would hope that most every Hokie fan would feel the same way. There is no disputing you guys are the National Champs. It was well earned.
So 8, then? 9? I think that sounds terrific.
Man, game day can not get here soon enough!
OSU will give up a few 1-3 but not 7+. I expect the Hokies to give up some sacks as well.
seeing it in person was underwhelming - fans seemed even almost bemused that they had to play us.
I was in Cbus for the game last year and the general fan attitude seemed to be that we were like an FCS tune-up game for them.
Ohio State's defense made significant improvement over the course of the season last year. Of course I think VT will score an offensive TD.. will it be 4 or more? Possibly but I don't see it happening. If you guys win the game it will be because of your special teams and defense playing lights out.. possibly scoring 1 or 2 tds and putting your offense in good situations, and Ohio State's defense in bad situations. Just like last year. OSU had 2 scoring drives, 86 and 83 yards, longer than VTs longest scoring drive, 65 yards.
Gosh I hope we win, because after how some of our fans are becoming, there's no way I'm coming near any VT forum for a week if we don't win.
Anybody remember that glowing article about Brewer and our offense that ran on SI after the OSU game last year?
Having trouble finding the link. But yanno.
True, there were some magical 3rd down conversations. However, when you look at the box score, our second quarter scoring drive only had one 3rd down conversion (a 15 yard completion to Malleck on 3rd and 3), and our fourth quarter scoring drive only had one 3rd down that was converted via an OSU penalty. A lot of the magical conversions, save the two first quarter drives, did not end in points and didn't have a huge effect on the outcome of the game other than momentum. I think we just matched up well against their defense, particularly with Malleck and Byrn in the slot. I'm sure there will be adjustments, but hopefully this year we don't have to be 3rd and long Sally to stay competitive.
I'll be surprised if anOSU doesn't give up some sacks.
She's hot.
Wow okay.. It's not like you guys lit us up by any stretch of the imagination and our defense is much improved from game 2 of last year.
Sure dude VT is going to have an easy time scoring.
From 1996-2000, Cullen Hawkins had 21 career receptions compared to 57 carries.
From 1994-1997, Marcus Parker had 32 career receptions compared to 211 carries. 20 of his receptions were in 1997.
From 1993-1996, Brian Edmonds had 41 receptions and 236 carries. In 1995 and 1996, he had 19 and 15 catches, respectively.
In 2002, Tech fullbacks Doug Easlick and Josh Spence combined to have 40 runs or receptions.
So it hasn't always been that way. According to this article, 2005 was the year things changed.

What timeframe? I loved getting paid birthday off, paid yearly anniversary getting a week of pay extra every year there is HUGE for a part time job.
Sorry but that was one of the worst sh*t jobs ever I had. Btw, Martin's still sells Ukrop's products.
From what i ve seen, osterloh needs to work on his footwork for pass protection or shift to guard so he doesn't have to cover the outside edge. If he can improve his movement, he definitely has the reach and size for pass protection. Maybe they could line up Burke or some other te beside him to help out. Jmo but his speed and reflexes needs to improve to start unless there are other factors at play.
After reading this thread I came to this:
College football fans are very passionate. An adverse opinion about your team will likely ruffle some feathers, even if you know it might be true. I welcome all level headed Buckeyes to the site, but the arguments here are the exact reason why I don't visit other teams' fan sites.
