Yup, exactly...throw everything off but the ref allowed the defense to cover the ball for 5s with no delay of the game. Again, laying the ball down was odd...I was like wtf happened watching live.
It is it is but they do expect the ref to at least set the ball..instead the line judge allowed the defensive player to lay on the ball for 5 seconds. No delay of game...
At least it's on tv..I'm happy for that!
Thanks! Try hard to never miss a game. Still nothing like being in Lane Stadium and don't know when that will happen again but always looking forward to it!
If Exum is on the field, it will be because he gives us a better chance to win than the freshmen do. And I think he does just that.
That's dedication. I can barely make myself get up at 9 so I'm awake enough to watch at 10...
Wait, referee blunder? Pac 12 refs and the Big 10 involved? OH GOD, I THINK THAT'S DANNY COALE'S MUSIC!
You're telling recruits that the best players on the team play. Period. If they don't like it, they can go to a different program.
For me, those uniforms are the worst of all the unis we've worn since we started switching shit up. The helmets are ok. We'll see how it comes together on the field. I wasn't a fan of the greys vs bama seeing them online, but on the field they ended up looking good.

# | Overheard someone say today that the coaches are expecting a commit sometime this week. Well a bunch of people on 247 starting predicting him to Tech the other day but this was before his injury so I'm not sure.

# | Overheard someone say today that the coaches are expecting a commit sometime this week. Maybe McKenzie's injury has him worried he'll lose his offers? Or maybe he wants to focus on rehab and get the recruitment process over with?
All speculation.
In addition to that, we're still not ranked going into the fourth week of football. I just don't see how we could climb all the way up the rankings. Clemson would have something to say about that in the ACCCG anyway
Agreed, won't get any experiences like it once you graduate. Have the fun enjoying the experience while you can!
ENJOY IT WHILE YOU CAN!!
If Exum supplants one of the young guys, I wouldn't see it as pushing talented young guys off the field because of seniority. If they're pushed off, it will be because, as good as the young guys are, Exum is an NFL-caliber player and we're better with him on the field (assuming he's back to his end-of-last-season form). Honestly, I'm not too worried about it. The coaches will make the right call.
You aren't pushing the younger guys off because of seniority. You are doing it because Exum is most likely our best best secondary player, who has proved that he is a great player and looks to be an All-ACC player. Although the freshmen are playing extremely well, Exum could come in and do THAT much better because he has proved that he can. It's a simple point of putting your best players in the game to get the job done.
But I don't want to be on the MV field before 8 in the morning. :.(
When's the last time two private schools played for it all?
Here's my question though. How does that make us look to future recruits? We push talented young guys off the field because of seniority? Sounds like a Newsome move. Do recruits see that as loyalty to a guy that's earned it, or detrimental because (as young players) they can easily get bumped?
I don't know what the answer is here. We have great talent on the field now, but Exum is an outstanding football player, and one of my personal favorites to have ever worn Maroon & Orange. We're better when he's playing well. But I have been incredibly impressed with Kendall and Facyson thus far. Moreover, what is VT's motivation with respect to Exum? Do we put him on the field as an NFL audition, or is the coaching staff's greater obligation to field the best team they can in order to win? Maybe Exum is the kind of guy that solves both problems simultaneously, but right now I'd say Foster and Gray have a tough decision, especially if Exum is not 100% when he comes back (even if cleared to play).
I'd be curious to see what others think on these matters.
Your are correct sir. The only place Exum should want to play is CB, where he would likely play at the next level. And it is too late to learn a new position.
Bonner's not going anywhere. Exum will go nowhere but back at corner. As stated in another thread, it will look much better to recruits if we put Exum in the best possible position to get drafted, which he can be.
Also, as good as Kendall and Facyson are, they have many more years available, and Exum does not. At worst, he will be the nickel back. There just won't be enough time left in the season or his career (same thing) to have anybody switch and adapt to a new position, regardless if they've played there before or not.
Awesome another 5:00am tailgate an hour before game time here in Hawaii. Thanks Weaver!
I think you may be overlooking a team from bayou country.

# | Overheard someone say today that the coaches are expecting a commit sometime this week. Yes and no. Yes he will be a Hokie more than likely and no because he plays basketball, not football.
Stop your whining, you're in HI (where I used to live)! After the game you can surf and/or attend a luau. In Chicago I may be shoveling snow! Enjoy the game, and the beer w/ your Cheerios.
