One of the most glorious nights of college. Watching that game, rewinding this on DVR over... and over... and calling friends to come over to watch it...

Further to this, his footwork needs a lot of work on his run blocking. He repeatedly steps with the wrong foot or just stands up and uses his strength to muscle some one out of the hole.

Our offense just brings a special brand of hit for the Hoos

Wait, you aren't the horse on the treadmill?

I will have to disagree with o-line being hard to project. It takes two things to play OL. Size and the Nasty. Kid has the size, not sure about the Nasty though. The thing that made VT great in the early 2000s was a nasty OL. Jake Grove Nasty. I haven't seen it since.

Coach Grimes tweeted that most of the o line drafted were 3 stars or below. Grimes and the weigh room staff will take these under the radar guys and coach them up to beats. Can't wait

Can we all take a moment to appreciate the still of this?

I love the smile on the ref's face.

As far as I understand it, all of the offensive lineman offers have been evaluated by Grimes.

He came in behind the eight ball, but he's done a nice job finding 2- and 3-star prospects that are tough and have the potential develop into starters in his scheme. Offensive line is one of the toughest positions to project, and the staff is taking the right approach by trying to bring in a bunch of kids and banking on developing contributors.

We just picked up Smith from NJ, and Billy Ray seems to have more rumors pointing to VT. Lot of new predictions on 247sports saying VT.

are we FINALLY starting to get a pipeline with Don Bosco?

Seems that we should have been getting some quality players for a while now considering Greg Toal is a VT alum, but looking back it seems we never really were able to really make a name for ourselves at the DB powerhouse.

Welcome to Hokienation, Tyrell!

Not to mention some NCAA issues with Dooley.

Your understanding of our relative lack of history and tradition is pretty spot-on. I can count the number of pre-Beamer bowl losses on one hand, and I can count the number of wins on one finger.

Also, we finished the season ranked in at least one of the two major polls just 3 times before Beamer, and never both polls the same season, if Wikipedia can be trusted.
