# | Up to 12 true freshmen in the running to make the travel squad, per Beamer Ball doesn't scare any opponents. There's not even a person listed for 2nd team Rover (probably would slide RVD into this spot, if needed) This secondary will be the crux of the for 2012. 1 injury, huge loss. 2 injuries, season could take a huge downward spin.
Is it safe to say that what you all saw on Saturday was a radical change in offensive philosophy? We kept hearing about the pistol during the off-season, but it sounds like we took a page out of Clemson's playbook and are trying to run more and more plays per game...how is this going to impact our rushing and clock management strategy?

# | Up to 12 true freshmen in the running to make the travel squad, per Beamer Ball It looks like the depth chart on hokieports.com has been updated today. Interesting 3-way tie for #2 tailback with Coleman, Gregory, and Scales. Edmunds is nowhere to be found, which is disappointing but understandable given the bodies ahead of him.
Also, there are still two starting roles up for grabs on the d-line, as the Hopkins/Maddy and Collins/Marshall battles are not yet over.
Hughes passed Windmuller on the punter depth chart. Let's hope that we can get a consistent #1 punter before the season starts.

Anybody with any recruiting/rivals subscriptions have any updates on the D.Green situation? Last I read, we were in his top 6 with no visit scheduled.

# | Up to 12 true freshmen in the running to make the travel squad, per Beamer Ball Hughes and Windmueller I think are both locks, UNLESS Beamer decides to use Branthover as his backup punter AND kickoff guy, which opens up another spot for someone like Edmunds.
It was the first time in my life I couldn't finish a steak. Damn you, Sub Station II and your delayed filling.
Good try, though. :)
My brain simply cannot process or comprehend these words "Dudes, this offensive line is pretty good." That just doesn't make sense to me. Is it in English?
I've been saying it since summer workouts in 2008... Vinston Painter is a fucking monster. Pictures don't even do him justice. I'm glad he's finally coming into his own.
Hope y'all ate 6 pounds of cinnamon butter.
Pre-season voting does not equal outcome. It does not predict final record. Unfortunately it sets up expectations for those poll voters that do not watch every game.
Preseason top 5 have nowhere else to go but down.

# | Up to 12 true freshmen in the running to make the travel squad, per Beamer Ball My guess:
1) AJ Hughes
2) JC Coleman
3) Josh Stanford
4) Donaldevan Manning
5) Donovan Riley
6) Trey Edmunds
I would be stunned if anyone else makes the team. Edmunds is the toughest choice. He is clearly good enough, but with Gregory and Scales eating up scholarship space, Beamer may look to save him.
he honestly kind of reminds me of darren evans in the way that he runs, has obvious power to where if a secondary player tries to tackle him without squaring up hes going to run over them, hes not the fastest, strongest, or quickest back, but hes always moving forward and will be a consistent force out of the backfield
About him trying to punch the ball out. Actually very smart with tackling help there. I'm blaming a hangover.
I agree. Speed on defense is an all around concern. They are as big as I can remember up front, but with Taylor, Tyler, and JGW at linebacker, this is not a fast front seven, and we saw what Watkins did to Bonner last year.
At the scrimmage, I yelled about his hustle. He tried valiantly to punch the ball out. He also got the only pure 4 man pass rush sack that I saw from the 1's or 2's.
Please watch Corey Marshall run with JC Coleman on the big play. While the attempt at knocking JC down could have been better, the kid is an athlete.
If Painter is Batman, Benedict is Bane.
In addition to what French said, I really like the more athletic line blocking out of the pistol sets. These guys don't lumber, and they really moved well in space. The quick hitting plays really played to their strengths.
Do you hope for WVU to keep him out of the ACC? Hard to want WVU to do anything productive.
