Kyron Drones, Josh Jackson...
Who were the other four?
Randall x2, Logan Thomas x2, Jerod Evans, Lee Suggs
What's wild is that we lost both of the games Randall did it in.
Lee Suggs, touchdown MACHINE!!!!
The 2002 Syracuse game was insane. Randall could do no wrong. Our D could do no right.
Ernest Wilford could also do no wrong. Pretty sure he played himself into an NFL career just from that game
Surprised that Vick wasn't on the list.
Our D was scoring 2 touchdowns per game when Vick was there, so they didn't need him to score 5.
/s
We also had good running backs, so Vick was splitting scores with the RBs more probably.
Can't find where I saw it or I would embed but Marve and Bowen also were both coordinators of the week
Nice to see the recognition when they do things right. Here is to more of that!
Some Hokie fans are likely writing a sternly worded email to the ACC right now.
missed opportunity for top Dad joke "are you kitten me?"
I hope the more reps KD gets the slower the game will be for him. He looked to be in better control this week and getting comfortable in his decision making.
If that OL can progress just a bit each game as well, we may feel very differently about this team than we did the first four weeks. Time will tell.
Is that Cam'Ron Kelly of 800% fame?
1000% is
