John Gruden on Tyrod Taylor's spectacular scrambling TD pass to David Wilson in Orange Bowl vs. Stanford:
"We had Michael Vick a couple weeks ago, and now I get Starship Five right here. Take a look at this. Reverses his field, great sideline awareness -- and you don't think these Virginia Tech receivers are good at the scramble drill, do ya? That's a running back right there."
Didn't we lose by about 15 at that? Would've at least gone to OT with them if we had stepped out on ANY of that kid's shots. Stupid Nick Nolte beating us. He doesn't even deserve the last name Nolte. No one does unless you have a deep, gruff voice and have won an Academy Award. Especially not a UVA student.
Btw, I know his name isn't Nick.
Letting Nolte, a 44% 3 point shooter on the year, make five 3's is just inexcusable. He can't drive by anyone or even shoot off the dribble. All he did was come off fade screens on the weakside and stand on the perimeter waiting for kick-outs, which should both be very simple to defend. We just lacked defensive focus tonight, as we have for most of the season, and didn't defend a completely one-dimensional player well at all.
On the other hand, we wisely didn't guard Jontel or #0 until they crossed the 3-point line, which shows us that Johnson probably did stress the shooters and non-shooters to the team, but we just didn't execute. It's just terrible team defense to let UVA score that many points- they're a very poor offensive team, and if you take away Joe Harris, they should almost never score.
"Never mistake activity for achievement."
"Don't measure yourself by what you have accomplished, but by what you should have accomplished with your ability."
I sure didn't...
Well, yeah, you get the point.
He was also close with Cyrus Jones, who picked Bama over us in the Under Armour All American game.
My mother was watching on TV...She has 3 degrees from UVA, and she desperately wanted the Wahoos to win tonight. She texted me mid game to say that "Wow, seems like the refs are calling things three to one against tech". Also, I was disappointed in the way things were run by stadium staff. They never check seats in the student section, just tickets at the door. Furthermore, they sent out a university email earlier saying "come to the standby entrance to get in for free, there are plenty of seats"...they later checked tickets and kicked students out of the stadium because they didn't have tickets and those who did have tickets did not have seats. The problem with this is that though the student section was full, there were seats all over the stadiam. Also, we were winning before they moved me and kicked some of my friends out. We didn't have the lead ever again after that. I know that's not a causation, but it was annoying none the less. I could understand them checking seats given the crowd, but the guy making people move was a real jerk about it. I know you guys probably don't care about the stadium staff, but I just felt a little ranty.
Caleb, VanDyke, and Ekanem eventually signed. Not so much with Kirven, but that one was kind of a toss-up the whole way.
I knew this kid once that was a whiz with Excel. Great site. I check it as much as I check Grantland. Seriously (they are better. But not with Excel. Kid was a whiz).
Yeah, I hope his motivation is rubbing off on his teamates. We need som solid senior leadership this year.
Danny coale is still open and the mcrib is back.
Erick Green is the best player in the country. No, I'm not just saying that. He's a flat out baller who can't be stopped.
Alright, Alright, Alright...you guys are right it is pretty cool.
I guess I'm just going to have to resort to the NINE STRAIGHT comeback line tomorrow if anybody says anything.
I hope for your sake you never found the game.
do i have this right? green has scored 34 of our 56 points?
thats ridiculous
the man needs some help
My Spiders just came back to win in OT against VCU, so THIS CAN AND WILL HAPPEN.

If Jarell Eddie touches the ball once on any offensive possession, it's a guaranteed miss or turnover.
