I like the idea of a Wise Kicker
You said: anybody, but Miami or FSU" and more recently added Clemson!"
And I'll add: anybody but UVa, BC, MD, UNC, NCState,.....
But if for some reason not us, I will root for them.
Go Hokies!
Dont forget about the kid from my High school (blacksburg). Carson Wise. he hasnt committed yet but I feel confident he will chose VT. He's good. He's really good.
Carson Wise
Thank god...eff that guy
Being a Hokie/DC sports fan can be downright depressing at times. Especially the last couple years
Obviously, your name is not Homer.
We don't match up. I'm gonna cry. Who cares, and who cares about Stigma? If Duke loses to UNC and we beat UVa, we're in and we'll give it our best shot. That's what competitors want.
I do appreciate you answering my question actually. I will say that a handful of 3rd down calls have been questionable at best, but outside of this I am a fan of what Lefty is trying to run. The lack of an established run game this year has made it very difficult and Lefty has done a good job of maximizing what little talent he has through the play calling.
Afraid of being embarrassed is a losing attitude.
someone please send this to ESPN, I wanna see this on the not top 10 sooooo bad
I'm simply saying that the schedule did not put us in a good position to win that game - it's up to the players to win it, but the playing games so close together didn't help.
I agree wholeheartedly with everything you just said. Stanford really exposed our weaknesses in the second half, and we failed to adjust. We were only down 13-12 at halftime. And you're also right about that team always falling behind early. Fell behind by 17 to Boise, fell behind by 10 to ECU, fell behind by 17 to NC state, fell behind by 14 to Georgia Tech, and I'm sure there were a couple more. It was quite amazing how we came out with 11 straight wins.
Duke has definitely progressed throughout the season. I think the past two games have shown offensive improvements for our team compared to what we looked like early on.
When I see a horse on a helmet, I think of noise state. We're the Hokies!
But those were some of the lowest-rated helmets in VT's latest study!
I'd rather we just use these more often
You have to wait for results. But your offense should progress from the start of the season to the end. Our offense looks exactly the same. The Miami performance continues to look less impressive as we see how bad they really are. How is it that Pitt can put up 58 on Duke but we can only put up 10? Wake forest puts up 34 points on Miami and we put up 21 at end of regulation? There is no excuse for how bad we perform
Ask, and ye shall receive....
The heads of the entire student body would collectively explode.
I would like to answer these questions in order of how they were asked.
Yes, we recruited but how many other kids underachieved that was high ranked?
I'm not sure what this question means. I'll try to answer the question that I am interpreting it as, which is "How many highly ranked recruits underacheived?" I would answer several. Just like several low ranked recruits over achieved. Rankings are a crap shoot. Ignore them.
how would Tyrod or any other highly rated recruit fared at UF or any other school if he or anyone else went there?
Frankly, better than they did here, because UF would have recruited him with a plan for how to use him. There would have been a cohesive plan involving run protection from the line to make him more effective as a runner and better pass protection so that he could drop bombs when needed.
We used him as an everything proof shield to make our offense work. Breakdown in protection? Tyrod runs it. Breakdown in protection and Danny Coale is open? Tyrod throws it. There's protection? That's a surprise. Defense expects Tyrod? Give them Darren Evans/David Wilson/Ryan Williams.
We want Logan to be our Tyrod but he's not as fast.
I don't want to hear about they had team chemistry or whatever if that's the case is that what were missing?
Yes.
Because surely I can tell those kids weren't 4 and 5 stars so tell me how did they beat UGA or Oklahoma with a bunch of nobodies that I've never heard of?
Team chemistry.
This all comes down to team chemistry. The old regime didn't recruit with a plan for how to use players.
And don't use Vick and Co. as an example of how the old regime did have it together. That wasn't the old regime. That was the regime before the old regime. The Stinespring Era began in '02. O'Cain came in '06, far removed from the Vick era.
Signed. multiple times.
I, for one, don't fear the big bad Seminoles. As I've previously stated, they've shown that they are not invincible. (See Boston college game) .. They've been prone to slow starts...
A team like Alabama can get off to a hot start, and put the clamps on early. (I think Alabama has gotten better defensively every week...and their oline looks a shit ton better now)
Anyway, anything can happen in football... and I wouldn't count us out before there's even a game. I hope the the football gods grace us with an ACCCG appearance this year.
So what your saying is Bama wouldn't be up to the challenge? So what your saying is JMU was too tough of a game? Maybe we should have backed out? Should we not have been prepared to play it or not? Did we not know the schedule before we played it? Bama keeps there players focused I will give it to Saban he keeps those kids motivated and prepared even during the offseason. I mean football is a physical sport but its also mental toughness as well.
Also, I just wish that our fans would stop blaming Weaver for that year and that loss to JMU, because whether you want to admit it or not if we won this game it wouldn't have been a problem now would it? I have zero excuses we lost ''scheduling'' had nothing to do with it. And was it Weaver's fault or whoever that made the schedule when we got blown out in a bowl game that year to Stanford? Or was it just a coincidence?
Rocket this is a good argument that you have and your not certainly not wrong either.
Noah, I agree and that was my point we had all summer to prepare for that game and yet we lost. That team we had with Tyrod that year was not short of talent in any way. I hear too much about recruiting better talent, but if were not coaching them up the way they need to be coached up then what? Okay, and to be honest how come we lost to Stanford that year 40 to 12? Didn't we have enough time to prepare for them as any other bowl game that we've played. All, I'm trying to say is the argument is getting old. That year Bud's Defense didn't do well at all if I could remember. We'd normally give up the first scores of the game and counted on our offense to win games that year. I'm not saying that Beamer and Co aren't good coaches before someone says this remark...smh just my opinion.
When I say this isn't personal I mean this by the way to everyone I seriously enjoy a good debate that's nothing personal or anything I'm not trying to belittle anyone's opinion what so ever.
What about when you see a treadmill on a helmet?
