That's to distinguish him from Mite Berman...height advantage, you know.

No one is talking about being scared of them. This conversation seems to be about respecting them, which clearly most do not. Not respecting a team is how you lose games you shouldn't. And that only furthers their rise. Do we not remember Boise State suddenly being not only relevant, but a perennial top 25 team for a solid decade? ODU has the potential to be even better. All it takes is one committed administration, and so far, that's what I've seen out of ODU.

Yeah, as I recall the shift started with our struggles at whip in 2010. Combined with the increased prevalence of spread attacks and the role playing into the strengths of a young Kyle Fuller and Antone Exum, it made sense.

We ran a hyper aggressive 4-4 look (out of 4-3 personnel) in the latter part of 2012 after Michael Cole got hurt, but, as I recall, we were even running 4-4 looks out of 4-2-5 personnel at times last year with Chuck Clark and Kyshoen Jarrett walked up.

I agree about OSU. I would guess it would depend somewhat on how we feel about Vandyke matching up with their tight ends.

Negative recruiting will spin it as we don't know how to place top 4* and above talent in our defense.

I know it never feels good to lose any player on the team unless they had disciplinary/attitude issues, especially not a highly-touted 4* recruit pursued by the likes of Alabama. However, and unfortunately, it didn't seem like Holland was making quick moves up the depth chart as we all hoped for, switching positions from Rover (I believe?) to Whip and then falling behind Shegog there. Maybe it was an issue of being too small for one and too slow for the other -- I don't really know. But I do know that this loss is more akin to Keihn's absence rather than Reavis'. Y'all remember Nick Dew from a few years back? Sort of reminds me of that situation. Sucks, but we'll be fine.

Edit: to acknowledge that we all could be completely jumping the gun on this random rumor, and I'd be happy to have him still on the team :). He is, afterall, still just a RS-Fr.

Per mile barber he was excused from practice. Can't embed as I'm on mobile

When I saw this was posted, my eyes went immediately to the Rover position. I remember reading that Riley didnt fare that well at the position during the spring (or maybe just not as well as Reavis), but can anyone tell me if they remember anything about how Frye performed?

I don't think it's in the cards. I believe that bringing Slye's level of brutality on an every-play basis is considered unsportsmanlike conduct against Frank.

Please, please, please tell me that Marcus didn't slip in the door behind him.
