I am not sure. If I am Miami up by more than a field goal, the down and distance is 3rd and more than 4, and Coles is lined up as the HBack, I completely ignore any inverted veer run action and sit on Coles. He isn't as great blocker inside, and since the Alabama game when he lines up as a HBack or wing, it has been a pass every time.
Now 3rd and 3 from the 5 and Cline at TE? I bet he has that in the playbook.
It's interesting. UVA is really...hehe...bad...hehe...
On Andrew, that ship had sailed. I can almost hear the pitch. "You're the one we will shoulder our team on. You're the man"
Whereas at Tech: "you'll be a cog in a system. You will be no stronger and no weaker than the guy beside you or behind you. We will take you to levels you guys have never achieved. But, don't get it twisted. You're a machine running a machine. Team. Win."
It's simple. Meangelo's aside, we are a different unit than the other squad. It's where you go from 7-6 to 5-1 partially based on new cogs and a whole lotta faith.
I can not wait to get to Charlottesville in November. Gonna get ugly, kids.

Noticed something interesting on the first D.J. Coles touchdown... Joel Caleb was the the Wide Receiver at the top of the screen. Wonder if they're trying him out at wide out again
Thought the same thing when I read this article. After reading the last paragraph I thought to myself... no way Mama G wrote this. Sure enough it was AA.
Not necessarily. The offer doesn't stand forever. When he committed, they likely took what would have been his scholarship and offered it to someone else.
With Izzo out of the fold, do we go find another TE? That seems to be one position that Lefty really likes to use and we are dangerously low on. Looks like we are looking at a lot of WRs but what about TEs? Maybe there is one hiding down in Florida?
I see what you're saying, but I would make the argument that you have plenty of time to see that VT is superior during the recruiting process. But I will admit that I have so much disdain for UVA that it just bugs me that someone of his caliber would pick UVA over Tech, so I'm being a little harsh in my opinion
I could watch that all day. He's done that a couple times this year. You really can't defend a pass any better.
Tone was out there on the practice fields doing what he does. I think we we finally see him dress and take some snaps this weekend.
Except that they will have 13 days....
As a side note, I saw Fuller make a nearly identical play against UNC. Magic!
Saw this on Imgur and was laughing way too hard. Reminded me of high school a bit.
I'm also pretty sure that my family members that do go to cavs games aren't going to be the ones verbally berated their own players. They're more the type to just sit down and mope.
Id still take him. VT was still in his top 3. He was just brain washed somehow. I wouldn't take Blanding for he showed no interest what so ever
Saw somewhere today that we might still have an outside chance at Hand, it's extremely doubtful but at least it's something positive. He hasn't said anything about his favorites for a while so who knows?
French, stellar as usual. It's nice to have someone break down game film for us who knows what he's talking about! Kind of like a reassuring security blanket
Question in the form of a fantasy; how feasible is this scenario: Miami game, Tech is down by 4 in the 4th qtr; we have the ball on the 19 yard line, 3rd and 8; Tech lines up with an inverted veer look, Coleman motions across LT's face, Logan pulls the ball, takes a step toward the line. Miami LB's crash the line for the run (they've been waiting for this play because they've seen it before), LT pulls up, and tosses the Tebow jump pass to Coles across the middle, who cuts it upfield for the score. Do you think Loeffler has this play in our playbook?
Yeah it might be tempting to feel sorry for him, but he made his choice - he chose his path - Hope other highschool players are paying attention. You can go to UVA to try to "start" something, or you can take the proven path.....
I'd take him for 3 reasons:
1) He's hella talented and would do wonders in Bud's system
2) DT is a position of need in this class
3) It's ALWAYS fun to take a player away from UVA
They have beaten a ranked Florida team and we have not. They have proven a lot more that we have so its not a big surprise anyone would have Miami over us right now.
I have noticed the RBs, particularly Edmunds missing some holes. To me, 75% of the time it looks like he just runs straight up the backs of the OL. Everything gets bunched up, because he is missing reads. The fact is, if he makes 2-3 more "good" reads a game, the whole complexion and rushing output would improve tremendously, imo...
My thoughts exactly. I hope recruits are reading this.
I think we'd still take him. Our coaching staff is more likely to be able to seperate themselves from any "rivalry" or message trying to be sent.
But I wouldn't blame us if we didn't take him.
(I can't see it on film, but I'd bet that Logan gave a little head fake towards Cline to get that slot defender to bite just enough.)
It is a shoulder shrug during his drop back. Bounce, bounce, shrug - then the throw over the top. His footwork, has greatly improved, and that little move right there is all Lefty's doing. LOVE it. That is the type of stuff I see Peyton do all the time.
How the UVA higher ups in the atheltic department can read this and keep the cop is beyond me. This kid sounds defeated, and not just by Ball State, but by his "fans" and coaches.
I hope all their recruits read this. If I were in their shoes, I would definitely be looking elsewhere. This does not sound like a fun atmospthere at all.
Keep on being you UVA.
Question: If Brown were to renege(sp?) on his commitment to UVA and instead want to come to Tech, would we even welcome him here? I've always said I want kids that want to be at VT so I think I'd say, sorry, but the offer is no longer available to you
He was aligned split out wide on several plays. I didn't see him targeted though.
