And deservedly so! That was scary when he went down with that injury, but he regrouped sensationally.
Next week it will be JR Collins, the following week it after that it will be Luther Maddy,after that- D. Hopkins, after that -Dadi, then it repeats itself.
Exactly.
All-ACC Defensive Lineman of the Week Award will be soon changed to Virginia Tech Defensive Lineman of the Week Award...just to be practical.
Can an entire defense be All-ACC? I know the media would vote someone out, but seriously is there any player in the ACC right now that you would replace one of our starters with?
Eh. It'd be kinda hard to disagree with Timmy Jernigan. I love Hopkins, Maddy, hell, even Williams is playing well. But there are a few guys here or there.
