Some things have changed, some things have not

It was a nice surprise to find a speedy true freshman hit the LOS like he was running for his life for a change. It was also great to find our defense swarming the ball, making plays in the secondary and doing everything they could to get off the field. I am proud of that side of the game.

As for the special teams, I am shaking my head. I saw on the first kickoff three Hokies get plowed by Alabama players. The overall physicality and athleticism was no contest. I will stop there because I cannot say anything else remotely positive.

He threw the ball better as of Game 1. It was obvious. But the drops are ridiculous. Someone needs to step up and cut Logan Thomas a break. I maybe his harshest critic from last year and tonight was not his fault. We need a TE or a WR with hands of gold or it is going to be another struggling season with a weak schedule.

Our special teams will get better. Our defense will beat up and score points on teams that are not Alabama. But when do receivers learn how to catch?

If we played our game in all facets, they stood no chance and I hope all of you saw what I saw.
