we have a shot at OSU early next season - either way.
Backstreet's is closed now :( A mellow mushroom is coming in
Say whaaaaaaaaat, where does it pull these "projections" from? I'd be really happy with these results, considering Randall Cobb just got hurt. Though, Jordy Nelson's production was awesome after Cobb went out. And who knows, maybe Boykin will actually do something now that he's starting (but probably not)
Are you saying that 2yrs at a job makes one experienced or inexperienced...relatively speaking?
Well I completely respect ur opinion if your not a fan of the wild cat. But for all speculative and entertainment purposes, I'd like to think that we would run the wild cat a little differently than we did in the past. Stiney is a moron and doesn't respect speed or know how to utilize his guys. He had "Feetz" (Josh Morgan) running most of the end-arounds/screen plays when he could have used the more explosive Eddie Royal at the time. Instead of using Greg Boone for the wild cat and begging for a few yards per play, he should have used two running backs or any two speedier skilled players that could bust it open for larger gains. Arkansas made this play famous by using Darren McFadden and Felix Jones; neither of which was even a threat to throw and it still worked (wonders).
In the first game against Alabama, previous film suggested that Logan Thomas was threat to make plays with his feet (coupled with this fact that we hadn't had an established RB to that point), so we were able to spring Edwards for a big TD run. Now that its clear that LT3 will only hurt you with moderate gains and the RBs have proven to be more dangerous in open field, defenses are clearly going straight for the RB on read plays. They are taking their chances with LT3 and its clear that when he keeps it, he's almost untouched until the 2nd level. So while the Greg Boons pile driver was entertaining to watch, Caleb taking the snap with ANY of our other explosive RBs could be magical.
Ultimately I feel this could help get our ground game going. Also late in games or at the end of halves, in obvious run situtuations 3 and outs have been inevitable.
Do they not want payback for the time we beat them in the ACCCG in '08?
Can Duke and Wake PLEASE drop their FBS football charade? Go independent or drop down a division, start basketball practice early... something.
I don't think that would happen this year, look at how bad ESPN wants Miami to be relevant. Top #10 team, seriously?
If we beat DA U then we can bank an ACC title game appearance, which could put us in a discussion for the Peach Bowl depending on how we play, although I think if FSU or Clemson has one loss they are going to want them there. I think they might be concerned that VT has played in the Georgia Dome already this year and has been there a lot in years past.
I for one would love to see a Sugar Bowl at large bid in the BCS, Nawlins > Atlanta. As far as opponent, anyone in the SEC, maybe the Fighting Teddy Bridgewaters, maybe smack around some over rated Big 12 school, or get a shot at tOSU.
Ha. I'm in Engineering Econ right now, lol'd at #cashflow
Please don't let it be the Russell Athletic Bowl
Yep. True story. I walked right into that. LOL
Had to.
I think Miami is going to be an issue no matter what. They aren't just going to lay down when we walk in the building.
The rest of our schedule is loaded with landmines. BC plays to their opponents. Dook isn't the Dook of old. UVA has a little brother complex. Miami is GOOD and can throw down points in bunches, and their defense has a pulse. Maryland isn't a pushover and they have athletes.
No easy buckets.
Yeah it was a great game until the last two minutes. I've never be so wet in my life...
Frank Beamer will always prefer to win the field position battle, to a high scoring offense. That has been how he racked up his wins over the years.
The ACC has great hallmark games coming, but I'm damn proud of our Hokies! The ranked ACC teams are a combined 22-1, with that one loss coming to the #1 team in the nation. Hope the conference builds on this year.
Fine, we'll just say that LSU beats Bama then and we play them instead
Easily top 3 worst nights of my life. Now I live in Atlanta and am forced to hear about him all the time, I just can't get away
That game score would be 6 to 3, VT over the Gators

I would probably lose it if we ever got some P-51's to flyover. Or better yet P-38's!!
That would be cool with me. I love the Peach Bowl. Football game in Atlanta on New's Year's Eve right before the real party starts...awesome.

And as long as the team realizes that I am just fine with it. VT seems to have a knack for playing up or down to the perceived competition. If we come in every game expecting a fight, I love our chances to come out with W's
