It sounds to me like you are at boss-level avoidance. Bravo!

When I see Trey making bad "hole" reads it's because one of our o-lineman is in his lap practically at the mesh point. The big thing with zone blocking is one cut and downhill. If the defense is forcing where you make that cut downhill is usually into the waiting arms of a man that ways 40lbs more than you. I actually applaud him for throwing himself, headfirst, into the wall of defenders he has faced. Our o-line is better than last year, but they aren't world beaters. That being said, I would like to see Caleb get some snaps. But I think we'll all get a chance to see the kid tonight. Trey is probably still tender from that nasty hit he took on Sat, and let's face it - the dude has taken a little bit of a beating. I expect to see all the running backs tonight - we need to possess the ball. Go Hokies!

I wrote my predictions down at the beginning of the season--best case 21-17

Same here.

WE MUST WIN THIS GAME, AND THAT'S NOT AT ALL HYPERBOLE!!!

Another strategy is the "put on headphones and act like you're listening to music" tactic.

I was definitely that kid that had experienced alcohol a little too much before I got to college, but I always make it a point to never judge those who do not wish to drink, its not an easy decision. Power to your younger you! haha

I've seen this mentioned a couple of times on here, so I'd like to address it. This is done by design.

Almost all defensive coordinators have their linebackers read the offensive line (not the running back) to determine if a play is a run or not. Since Tech runs a lot of outside zone, this play design has logan and the offensive linemen stepping to their left (for example). The linebackers see the QB and the Offensive Line heading one direction, and automatically attack that direction. They aren't really looking at Edmunds, at least not keying off of him.

Since the offensive line was headed left, the backside defensive end could pose a pass rush problem, so the running back has to pick him up. Whether or not Edmunds is in position to reciever a hand off doesn't matter, the linebackers are out of position by the time they realize it's a pass.

Loeffler likes to use this fake to draw the linebackers in, and then have his WR's run intermediate routes behind them but in front of the secondary. It's very effective if the defense is heavily keying the run game.

23-21 VT. Win by a Safety...

Unfortunately I Won't be able to watch tonight because my company has an event at the Willis (Sears) Tower. At least I'll have an ideal place to jump from should things go south for our boys........
