Wait, until ND came along, our entire non-conference schedule was at home?
Gates 1-7 will be open. The only one that would then be closed is Gate 8, which is the one leading in from the woods.
As I understand it, there will only be one gate open.
Maybe they're trying to get the first team O to gain some confidence running whatever the new plays are? All I can think of is they're trying to get reps that demonstrate how well things can work when executed correctly.

This game is about the coaches getting a good self-scouting report. Who can do what. In order to do that, you need the first team playing together.
If LT gets hurt vs Bama, Leal isn't going to be throwing to the players on the white team. He'll be throwing and handing off to players on the Orange team. So he'll get reps with those players in order for the coaches to see what, exactly, he can do.
Still though, I wish the first team D was on the white, and first team O was on the Orange. That'd make for a more interesting game and, IMO, give the coaches a better idea of exactly where the offense is.
Well that was resolved quickly.
To make room for #Hokies football trip to Notre Dame in 2016, Tech AD Jim Weaver has moved ODU game from 2016 to 2017 in Blacksburg.— Norm Wood (@normwood) April 19, 2013
Nah girl. I might be worse than some of my guy friends. LOL I love it! Can't wait to be in the LANE
tomorrow afternoon!!! :)
I feel like they are trying to get Parker some reps....its the only thing that makes sense to me.
We'll bump ND from our schedule, since we'll be in the SEC by 2016.
This game is more like the (1's & 2's) vs. (3's & 4's). I can't believe Mark Leal isn't going to be leading the white team. What is this gonna prove?
I wish they would have included an updated depth chart...
maybe they'll figure it out after the game based on people's performance.
I agree, why do they do 1st team O vs 2nd D and vice versa? I don't like that.
I wish we would start playing more first team offense against first team defense... and why is it orange v white instead of MAROON v white?
Notre Dame is going to have to adjust their schedule too. Most schedules I'm seeing show the 10th as their only open date.
Meh, those future dates change all the time. I would guess we would be more intent on keeping the ODU game and bumping liberty off the schedule, but probably rearranging when we play each team.
LT and Leal are on Orange? I'll be interested to see who takes the reps at QB on white since its Gresh, Rody, and Parker....
I hope this isn't a case of us getting pooped on by the ACC (DeAndre Hopkins style) once again. We're in the last group of ACC teams to play ND (Duke, Miami, VT, and NCSU) and we play them on the road, of course. Even the stink shows known as UVa and Pitt home games get ND at home. I guess they figure that's the only chance they have of selling those games out while we'll sell ours out anyway, but it still miffs me.
Yes. I vote ODU just because of back to back tough games.
ODU or Liberty is getting bumped...although with our luck ECU will get bumped and we'll continue to play them forever
Yep, that's why they spotted with White Team 13 points.
Andy covered it over on his blog earlier today. Tho, here is the hokiesports link:
I'd say Liberty gets bumped, but that's a heck of an opening two weeks. Could make for some good primetime TV, though.
Everyone should make this road trip if they can. I've been to South Bend 3 times for ND football, and I have enjoyed every trip. It has a very different feel compared to other football trips I have made (fans not quite as hardcore, it's in northern Indiana), but the tradition is there and the campus is beautiful. The fans I have met there are not the entitled bunch that we think they are, though that could be because I hang out with down to earth folks.
Anywho, I'll definitely be there and I hope Hokie Nation has a big presence.
