I think with edwards athleticism and speed he might be a better fit for whip he isnt superior in size to any of the other guys. I dont think clark or tyler are a liability on the field at backer and with williams size I'm not sure he couldn't step in and play some snaps at backer either. I thought he looked like an athlete this spring who can make plays and create some turnovers.
I just can't on board with Enter Sandman. Crowd noise, the band... those things are part of playing the game. Using a loud PA to pump in noise, that just doesn't feel right. Given the situation, the place should have (and would have) been rocking even without the extra noise.
Perhaps I am just nostalgic for the Hokies getting 15 tackles for a loss each game playing the wide-tackle six and hearing the Empire Strikes Back theme song every time.
It looked like it, but if so, that was a VERY high risk play, especially with the pulling guard keying the Miami backers to where the play was going.
It is a good thing they didn't read their keys.
I'd like to see Clark-Taylor-Edwards
or perhaps a 50 look, but with a 3 man DL and Clark-Taylor-Edwards-Tweedy
I don't know where Tyler and Rivers fit, but I know both would start at mike backer on 3/4ths of the teams in the ACC. Taylor being really good doesn't mean you can't find some role for them.
I don't know enough about Williams except that the coaching staff has always been super high on him. I haven't even noticed him on special teams, but they clearly think he will be a starter sometime soon somewhere.
the speed to play whip.
clark or edwards maybe.
is going to be an issue all year.
About the zone read play at the end of the game, I'm pretty sure LT mentioned in the postgame press conference that it was entirely a designed QB run, he wasn't going to be handing it off no matter what he saw in the defense. Hence why there was such a huge hole he could run through right up the middle.
sorry if confusing at all.
WHAT'S A HOKIE? 🦃

# | Tuesday Morning Second Guess: I Think You Will Hate Me. Branthover: if his second punt had been caught rather than take the bad bounce it would have been more like a 40-yarder. Either way he's still better than Demler.
Enter Sandman: I thought it was perfectly timed to keep the energy up during the timeout. Plus, you've seen the pictures of Al Golden shitting himself during it, right? TOs always lower the energy/noise level a bit, unless you do something like that.
that video gets me so pumped. it is everything i love about vt football. we go nuts at that stadium and the team plays better because of it. no matter where i am, when i hear enter sandman i jump up and down and yell lets go hokies. i get looks.
Duan Perez Means had a great series up until Collins took the 15 yarder. He was then replaced by Wilson, who spent the rest of the Miami drive in Bruce Taylor's lap (especially on the Miller TD run.)
As noted in my blog post, Nick Acree should be moved back to defense today, and his instructions when in the game should be "DON'T GO BACKWARDS." Marshall will be very good, but at 260lbs, he can't hold up all game against a 300lb guard who can play. Prince, Hammlette, and a banged up Maddy just won't work, especially against Georgia Tech's veer blocking, which requires the athleticism to defeat cut blocks without missing your assignments. I would continue to start Marshall, try to get Acree up to speed so he can be a stop gap, and against Georgia Tech, I would consider looking at Zach McCray (who won't be a size mismatch against GT's smaller OL. No way would I move Collins down. He thrives playing the angle to track plays down from the backside. He is less effective at the point of attack.
DeChristopher had his best game as a Hokie, and unlike last week, I didn't need the coaches "scoring" to tell me so.
looks like Frankenstein with his straight arms and legs
for the clarification
Steaming pile of shit movie though.

before cutting your tenderloin always let it rest at least 5 minutes so that the juice can redistribute throughout the meat.

such a classic 7th grade look!
That Al Golden dresses like I did when I went to middle school dances.
Just curious which games I didn't log a w on? Giving up a time out, so I want to know why.
Great pictures! Jacory looks like he is high...
If I remember correctly, Taylor played backer and Tyler played the mike in the bowl game. I am not sure who is higher on the depth chart between Rivers and Tyler right now.
