Brewer Embraces the Spotlight

SI published an article today about Brewer and how he's been thrust into the spotlight. So many great quotes in this story

"I said something along the lines of I'm ready to go ahead and do this and win a lot of football games here, and he jumped right out of his seat and came over and gave me a hug," Brewer said. "I was like, 'Did Frank Beamer just do that?' The Frank Beamer just jumped out of his seat and gave me a hug for committing to his school. How many kids have sat in this chair and committed to coach Beamer over the years? And he still gets up, comes over and gives me a hug?"

With just under 14 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter and the Hokies leading 21-14, Brewer faced second-and-nine from his own 20-yard line. He scrambled for eight yards before taking a nasty hit. He crumbled to the ground and had a tough time getting up.

"I kind of got bent around and I was having a bad back spasm," Brewer said. "My back was just locked up. I had been hit in the head a few times. I was trying so hard to get up and some of the guys on the defense were saying, 'We got him, finally, he aint getting up.' Right when I heard that I was like, 'Screw that.' I just got back up."
