My point is this starting 5 has hardly a live snap together, some no snaps individually, especially competitvely, so I see the group being fluid. I believe there is a lot to learn yet about personnel. Practice is different than game day....A lot different.

Opening against 'Bama presents the maximum challenge. Not a team out there any better on Defense.

Benedict has 7 starts under his belt and played tackle in HS. Might be a better Tackle option, and definitely is going 3 deep. I thought he showed signs of being really good last year. I say his wheels are better than you give him credit.

Beleive! We have the playmakers (minus several due to injuries - Exum/RVD/ and possibly JC) to win this ballgame. We'll come out fired up just like last time and we'll make it close for sure. Our D is better than the 2009 squad. A few turnovers by the D and a few big plays by Logan and co. and a win is certainly possible. I remember Kirk Buthurtbstreet previewing us before the 2009 game and comparing us to the previous Bama opponent opener (Klempsun) and he stated we were a much tougher and physical oppenent and that Bama better be ready. He was right! I still hate Kirk though, but I was like "Yeah MF!". Bring it on, go hokies!

"Belicheck yourself before you Rex yourself" is my favorite but too long.

Oh yea, that's me. I was on that jump also. And I get dirty looks all the time around here for my license plate.

My college fantasy team name is "Free Mark Leal". I hope I have a reason to change it after Week 1.

Depth along the offensive line is a huge concern. I'd say Wyatt Teller isn't ready yet either considering he's been practicing at tackle for, what, a week now? So how are you criticizing the starting tackles when you yourself are saying the backups aren't near ready? What could Grimes have done, or what would have you done, so differently that would have this group prepared for Bama? It seems to me you're all doom and gloom bellyaching about something that has to do with the shortcoming of prior coaching and recruiting at the offensive line and nothing to do with Grimes and his preparation of the players he had to work with for this upcoming season.
