# | Special Edition of ESPN's College GameDay is Coming to Blacksburg on Labor Day yup.. the tears are coming out was very very proud of myself for this one!
On this play, Georgia Tech tricked Brewer into throwing a critical interception.
Was this a "trick" on Georgia Tech's part, or a just a great read by the corner? Seems to me there is something wrong with the timing of Phillips' route. The corner initially seems to be covering Phillips, but when Phillips stops his route before Brewer even throws the ball, and Brewer isn't looking his way, it's clear that the intent isn't to throw it there.
Between the body language of Brewer and Phillips, the corner KNOWS the ball isn't going there, so he gets a jump on covering Hodges. Phillips is now wide open, but Brewer can't really see this as the pass rush is moving in quickly, and he's already committed to throwing to Hodges in what he perceives is man coverage. Slow Phillips' route down or add two steps to it, and it would seem that the corner wouldn't get enough of a jump on the play.
Forgive my naivete, I really don't know that much about these routes.

Fascinating! Thanks.
Gentrification seems to be doing wonder in the offseason. Motley shrunk from 6-4 to 6-2 while Brewer went from 200 lb to 196 lb. The team should fly around a lot quicker this season, hopefully they can take the hits.
I can tell you with 100 percent certainty that a Commonwealth's Attorney here in Montgomery County would not even give these facts the time of day," Turk said.
It sure doesn't sound so bad. Tech's Lawyer has said everything short of what it was, but, how what it was was nothing.
That GW TD against UVA that Hodges ran was very slant-ish though. I suspect he needs a more consistent target than Malleck to throw into the middle of the field to - and honestly, if Bucky doesn't become that man then i'm not sure who will.
You either have an A) Willie Byrn-type receiver that can cut it inside and take a hit; more like a slot WR role, or B) a bigger TE type of player that can withstand hits.
Pretty cool, hope he keeps it up and I hope he balls out for sure.....the Bears on the other hand....
I'm going to miss having a Fuller on the team. Congrats to Kyle!
Two years ago he had a listed max of 385, so it's possible. Doesn't seem like they updated their site if he did though.

I think it does. However, teaching the O-Line how to P-hole block on quick slants can help rectify that.
What is a P-Hole block you ask? Well, in old football coach terms, it means that on quick three step drop in breaking routes, the offensive line should get down in a three point stance and fire off the ball like you are run blocking. Literally, you hit the DL "in the P-Hole." That gets their hands down and allows the QB to see his target. With so many quick screens and slants in college football, it amazes me how passive OL's are taught to play on those types of throws. Passiveness hurts success on those throws, and even more so on play action.
Always appropriate
As my oldest goes to college my wife is constantly showing him stories of where one person is accused of harassing (either sexually or verbally) another person in a 1 on 1 situation with no witnesses. Very hard to know what really happened, not to mention prove it, but these days it always seems like the accused is often assumed guilty, even if there is known to be a beef between the parties before hand. My neighbor's son's girlfriend accused him of assault after a fight she started by hitting and scratching him, when he did not even fight back. He would likely have gone to jail if she had not had an assault record and tried this type of thing before. Stay away from the crazy ones!
Neato, good for all involved.
This better mean that we have the best injury response team at Cassell at all times, unlike how the Carrier Dome is not air conditioned.
Can you imagine how much more of a weapon Bucky could be as a single WR on the boundary running a sharp slant route on a 3rd and 6?
I'm guessing we won't have to imagine anymore after September 7.

# | Hokies Ponder How to Best the Buckeyes Again, as Excitement Builds for "Most Anticipated Game Ever" To be fair he wasn't the third string QB two weeks before the season started he was second string. One who played in 7 games prior to taking over starting job.
I wonder if Brewer's height plays into that?
As soon as I heard reavis was gone I assumed Clarke would slide over to rover as he's the most physical guy we have left. Definitely agree on your assessment of riley in regards to tackling and gap fit.
I wasn't mad at all. It was a fair assessment. I kind of buried Riley in the other column and it wasn't my intent. I wanted to get across that he has the ability to make his mark at free safety (otherwise he will be an option at corner) if he improves his consistency. Those posters raised fair points so I wanted to clarify as much as I could. When you look back at Bonner, he and Riley are very similar players. Bonner was just less risk adverse.

Turk's mention of the Commonwealth's Attorney leads me to believe that there was a serious issue, just no proof that would rise to the level of legal action. Sounds like some smoke, but no visible fire, but I would be surprised if there were no valid reasons for concern over his alleged actions (whatever they may be). Like many others, I do question the hammer that the Student Council wields, though. Seems like a lot of power for that type of body to have over other students.
As for Keihn, maybe he was doing what he truly felt was right, we may never know. As for MD being "as bad as going to uva in my book", well, I would suggest you read the fine print or borrow my book. NOTHING is as bad as going to uva.
