I'm not too sure our offense will be going for "slow and methodical." Jack Tyler had some good quotes recently about offensive tempo (citing it as the biggest change he's noticed in the offense) that suggested Loeffler will be trying to keep defenses on their heels by varying the tempo:
"The tempo. I think you need that in college football. You need to be able to speed things up, slow things down. I just think you need to be diverse. I wont say that we werent diverse before, but everybody knew that on third and 1 we were gonna run the ball. Everybody knew that in second and 12 we were going to run the ball. Everybody knew what was going to happen next. That whole mystery thing just adds a whole new excitement to our program, and I think we needed that."
There is more from Tyler's interview on Aaron McFarling's blog:

You need big plays to be able to run it after a big play...
Only if they make our crowd into holograms to beam back to the opposing stadium :)
I typically steer away from tots when school is in. Not a huge fan of the mass of frat guys. Too many tank tops and popped colors. Pj's may be my favorite bar in blacksburg. Also have ran into a ton of former players there
we have found the winning combo... this rules
YOU GOTTA CHERISH IT!
well done...
Momma Giraffe has an interview up on the blog with Logan. I know everybody hates her but just spreading the word in case some of yall want to check it out.

I'll have 6 Schlitzes
Me too! The downside of getting older...you start having "standards".
I do realize that but yeah I'm 31 now so I don't want to walk in piss water to use a toilet. LOL
It's a college bar, it's supposed to be dirty and disgusting. Unfortunately you don't realize it until you graduate and go back...
OMG....well it has been two yrs since I was last there. Geez. Honestly, the last time I was there it was so dirty I was disgusted.
Rails are $9 now, the price keeps going up!
Here is another example of the whip to the boundary, with the rover playing on the slot receiver vs twins to the other side from the Rutgers game.

Thank you. It showed in the preview and on my side right after I posted it. Apparently the forum gods are not smiling on me
True true. Can't argue that at all. Gotta have money for turkey legs and tickets
That's much better. OBX is my happy place. Haven't been in 3 yrs but I will be there Sept 14th!!!!

yeah at $8 a pop....no good for my wallet either. Esp if I am also buying for others

Not seeing the picture so thought I would help you out...
Rough comparison of the old and new video board at Lane. Not officially to scale, just matched up the support legs. pic.twitter.com/gRfgVwCSqj— Damian Salas (@vthokie) July 25, 2013
Picture credit to @vthokie on Twitter said its not exact got it from matching up the support beams. Nice comparison
Here is a play from the Spring game where Ronny Vandyke is playing whip and is lined up to the boundary (short side, or the top of the screen.)
00:11:48–00:11:54
The offense is in a balanced look, two tight ends, two flankers and a one back. The rover is lined up to the wide side (bottom of the screen) meaning the free safety has called the strength to the wide side (likely because vs balance, the free safety must call the strength to the most dangerous receiving threat from the inside.)
While it would take hours of additional film-watching to confirm, the only players impacted by field side vs boundary side are the corners. The field corner always plays to the wide side, and the boundary corner always plays to the boundary.
(If the embedded link gives you trouble, here is the direct link. The play starts at 11:48 and ends at 11:56. http://youtu.be/e5sQqH2bFx0?t=11m48s )
So excited for this game. Hokies are going to prove last year was a fluke.
ALRIGHT
We did have plays of over ten yards last season, not many but a few
