# | Hokies Use Preseason Practice to Retool the Secondary in the Wake of CJ Reavis' Dismissal I am praying that Cardale Jones wins the starting job for OSU. He is slow as butt, and there is no way (other than an occasional deep ball) that he would pick apart Bud and our secondary. Combine that with Dadi, Ken, Corey, Maddy bringing the deez and it's over.
we have nothing to lose in this game. the whole world ESPN and all has basically handed the game to OSU and expects us to just roll over.
Win- and the excuses will come out more, how did Foster outsmart Urban again. Braxton would have played better than xyz QB yadda yadda yadda
Lose close- well its the #1 team in the nation and they played a close game, lets get ready for ACC schedule and get to Charlotte.
andy_bitter_virgin, but yes
as for Rogers, it's funny because I never remember us using our fullback for anything but blocking until he came along. But he's useful in lots of ways (blocking, passing, catching, running, intimidation) so our coaches have utilized him more than they have other fullbacks in the past (if I recall correctly, I could be wrong). he definitely was our go to running back on a few plays (games?) last year. I think they like that he can be a pass catching option, but I doubt he'll be a major target given that we have two great wideouts and two or three legitimate targets at TE.
then why copy paste my post from another forum? Unless you want to file this under the "good Buckeye response" section. I guess I didn't get your point.
nevermind...
Loeffler alluded to Sam being used more as an H-Back and pass catcher this year. He said that the injuries last year derailed what they had planned for him. My guess is that you could see him line up in the backfield and then flex out to the slot. A not so bold prediction is that he will throw the ball on a trick play this year.
If you ask me (and I know you didn't) but I think a lot of the reason why Brewer struggled the rest of the season was quite literally because Bosa knocked the everliving hell out of him at the end of that game and it caused lingering issues for the remainder of the season.
There's a reason he was tabbed early to be our starter. There's a reason that Chad Morris pushed for him to sign here when Clemson didn't have a spot for him. There's a reason he did what he did against Ohio St last year, and why nobody really acted surprised that it happened. And there's a reason there really wasn't a QB position battle this spring after he quickly distanced himself from everyone else. I personally think he's a lot better QB than he's given credit for, and it'll show this year if he can stay healthy.
He's been high on us all offseason; been banging this drum for a while now. Just hope we don't disappoint.
Yes, you are.
We're confident.
You think we're nervous.
We aren't.
They should settle this like men. On a field of football.
no... i'm not
He'll be targeted out of the backfield, yeah. We've also spread him out wide and given it to him on end-arounds and throwing passes before. He probably won't get as many carries as last year where he was forced into more of a RB role because of injuries.
Maybe some sort of foot race? Or lifting challenge? That would be neat.
I did read your post Bro.. 35-17 is a closer outcome.. did I say it was bad?
God Save the Queen.
The fullback position catches passes at VT. Especially when that FB can throw the ball, run the ball and catch the ball like Sam Rogers can.
geez their players are like a laundry list of kids I wished VT landed
If only there was a way to settle all this talk. Like some type of athletic contest between the two teams that took biased opinion and hyperbole out of the equation. My stars what a thing that would be to behold!
I think this is an astute point. I'm rather bullish on Brewer for this reason. It wasn't just the OSU game where he made these types of plays. He did the same thing when the season was on the line again UVA with a dislocated shoulder. In the 4th quarter of the BC game out of 4 drives he lead 3 TD drives (the D lost that game). For all the crap people were giving him, Brewer (at least to my eyes) seemed to keep showing up in the big spots.
I agree with you 100%. Brewer had a great game when you look at the tape. A mediocre game by the numbers. It's a killer for the defense when they hold the first 2 downs and force a 3rd a long only to have it converted repeatedly.

# | Hokies Hype the "Battle at Bristol," Even as the OSU Matchup and an Uncertain Future Loom yep. Tons of jobs and whatnot to attract people, but NOVA-esque sprawl (proportionally, of course) because a lot of them don't want to live in Knoxville.
a contrarian pick against normal convention...i like it!
