Really interesting that he could enroll in January and is now in a position to be the starting LT. Think it says something about the previous OL coaching that a guy like Mark Shuman, 3 years of being groomed in college and coming in a 4 star prospect, could be passed by a guy just getting on campus.

Interesting note he's just coming from FUMA where Mark Shuman's dad was his coach. That has to be tough to see a player that you just coached passing your son on the depth chart.

Experimental Methods. It's an aerospace class, but I'm sure a lot of other majors use reynold's number too

That is correct, let's not give up on Malleck or any of the tightends. Iam looking forward to the tightends gelling with the entire offensive package. To be truthful, I am looking forward to the day when the offense gives the defense fits and when that happens you will see a team that will be unified, hungary and win the national championship. ( We have the best D in the ACC)

We have been folloing this kid since high school and only want the best for him.Supporting a player who works hard is only right.

no, just a fan who has been following this kid since high school.

I find it twice as entertaining that you have a page up for Reynold's number.

Some additional thoughts that have not made on any of the posts, including my article over at GobblerCountry.com.

1- The offensive line are actively moving up the 2nd level once they get past the LOS, and go on a "search and destroy" mission. The result is mixed. On some plays, it appears to be working, but on other plays it looked like chaos.

2- The receivers make it an effort to catch every football. There was one throw by Logan Thomas that was on the money, but went through Knowles' hands. On one of the touchdown pass, I can't remember if it was from Brian Roddy, Leal, or Thomas, but Caleb never took his eyes off the ball, and made a diving catch in the end zone. The last time I have seen that was effort was from Danny Coale. *inserts obligatory "It was a catch!"*

3- Continuing with the receivers, I noticed that the receivers made every effort to be involved in the run blocking, something Moorehead promised Hokies Nation we would not worry about, and he is putting his money where his mouth is. I think Edmunds or Coleman was on a run, and either Stanford or Caleb turned and made effort to get back to block on a running play. Or was that on a catch-n-run play? I can't recall, but the point being, the receivers are buying into what Moorehead is demanding from them. As a point of example, when D.J. Coles dropped the first pass from Thomas, what did he do? He promptly went to the sideline, removed his helmet, and did the required 10 push-ups.

4- Back to the OL, I was watching Grimes and Pugh work with them during warm-up, and I mentioned this to French via Twitter, the OL actually listens to Grimes and Pugh. I was watching Grimes explaining to a couple of linemen on what they were doing wrong during warm-ups. He told them they would stand almost straight up out of the stance instead of keeping their weigh forward, and he demonstrated. The OL promptly went back into their stance, and sure enough, they did exactly as instructed. I encourage everyone who plan to make it to Blacksburg on Saturday to watch the OL. What Grimes does with them during warm-ups is vastly different from how Newsome used to do it. Grimes makes it a point of emphasis to explode out of their stance in first steps, and they would repeat it, on the sideline, and during warm-ups. Grimes doesn't take any prisoner when he see something they did wrong during the scrimmages. He's almost like a drill sergeant out on the field. Heck, even Loeffler shouted at Miller that they will run to him on every 4th and 1 play.

5-The concern for the defense is valid. The secondary is pretty thin as the linebacker corps are. For some reason, I am not as worried, and I guess it's because I know the 2013 signees will arrive in August, but unfortunately, I don't think the coaches want to throw them into the frying pan so soon, especially against Alabama.

Out of the 2013 signees I'm most looking forward to is Jefferson, who made French on the Bench's highlight, and then there's Holland Fisher who I am just intrigued by. Of course, there's this small, but have a nose for the football, linebacker that reminds me so much of Troy Polamalu probably because of his flowing locks.

Oh yes, one more item to add: #BeatBama

I'm pretty sure that Tech "had" the Curry's, if Greenberg would have just offered.

They ran several varieties of bootleg and waggle. Thomas had an outstanding throw with a defender in his face to McCray, who ran a 12 yard out underneath a corner route on a flood waggle right.

Don't forget about jalyn Holmes peoples

Hopefully Clemson is injury free when we play them Dec 7. I'd love to beat a fully healthy tigers team so dabo has no excuses

Just ask the Curry's about that. I know that this is football and not basketball and that the logical choice is VT, but he almost sounds like he is leaning towards LOLUVA.
