Hopefully once we get down there and settled before football season someone will get back to me. I'll be glad to get back around other Hokies.
Absolutely critical in this game that he does this. If he doesn't, there will likely be little space for the big men down low. Need his flash to get their feet moving, whether he shoots or passes. He is the most consistent at getting to the line as well.
This was kind of the mindset I had when looking at this game as well. We are that valley game after a close loss and a chance against a top 5 opponent
I think you flipped the box score. UNC hit 9 of 18
They had Jace Amaro last year so yes, I think they know.
Reading those responses from Loeffler was just incredibly reassuring.
He sounds like a man with a clear vision for where he wants the offense to be.
Refreshing.

Pumped!

# | Bitter blog - Q&A: Loeffler talks run game, coaching continuity and stretching the defense That's really encouraging. As concerned as I am about the QB situation, it's clear that the talent level everywhere else on offense is improved.
At worst, we'll get WR production equal to last years, but likely we will see one or two young kids make a significant difference.
At TE, at worst you will see Kline's production augmented by Malleck. But the enticing chance that Bucky becomes what he can become and the impact of 3TE sets is very exciting.
At OL, losing only one guy, at least we'll be as good as we were last year. And with true high-ceiling players like Teller and Smith ready to contribute, we could be much, much better.
At RB, at worst, you've got JCC and Edmunds doing what they did last year. At best, Shai or Williams really contributes or pushes JCC or Edmunds to be even better.
This doesn't even account for the potential for guys like Mangus, Caleb or Parker to provide some type of unique crossover potential.
We need a game manager at QB and we need Loeffler to figure out what we are truly good at and build his sets around those skills.
I continue to be amazed with how open SL is with his comments. He's going to have to learn "coach speak" if he ever wants to be a head coach.
It is very interesting that he expected Malleck to catch 60 balls... jeez.
For most teams, Seattle's secondary schemes can't be run. But, when you coach up your secondary that well, you can leave them in those zones all game. Most other teams would probably be torched for running a similar scheme.
Big news story here is that Shai McKenzie is not participating in the spring. So, with Edmunds and McKenzie out, there are carries to be had for Coleman, Mangus, Caleb, and Williams. Who is going to take advantage?
That means the recruiting services are confused because he can run...but he's white. Someone posted his high school highlight film and he showed plenty of moves. Last spring's Texas Tech spring game film was also posted. He can definitely get the ball out quickly, too.
With regard to size, look at Mike Vick or Tyrod Taylor. They're short guys but have a ton of athleticism.

# | Bitter blog - Q&A: Loeffler talks run game, coaching continuity and stretching the defense Great interview. It seems the coaches really are high on Bucky. Loefller doesn't really do "coach speak", so the fact that he mentioned Bucky in such high regard is exciting.
If he isn't the clear #1 at the end of spring camp, then that means either Motley or Ford is the #1. Brewer won't get here until the summer, so for Leal's sake, I hope he's the clear #1 at the end of spring
Nice interview, Andy. I have high hopes for the offense as well.
Ain't no TRUE LOVE like HOKIE LOVE.

# | Men's BBall: Virginia Tech (9-19) at Maryland (15-14) at Comcast Center at 8pm ESPN3 I want to see Devin be more selfish. I know that's not something you normally want from a young player, but when he decides he's gonna get to the basket he does it. There isn't anyone else on our team that can attack the basket with any level of consistency. And he has been getting noticeably better at finishing with contact as the season has progressed.
Neither has Ford, McMillian, Durkin, and Motley.
Although I've exhausted my eligibility, I went through 4+ years at VT and never threw an interception in a game.
I thought we hit 9 of 18. Must be confusing one of the games.
Thought I read on a postseason article (in December) that he was graduating (December). That would mean he's working on his postgrad now.
Also, per above, I was just saying if he announces a transfer at the end of spring, it will give us an indication of the direction (I.e. Brewer is going to be the starter).
I've never thrown an interception at the NCAA level either. Put me in, coach!

So am I. His excitement has me excited. It's going to really suck losing Logan, but if our run game can get better and we just have a game manager as a qb I think the offense as a whole will get better.
