Charley Meyer
Not many people are talking about him this offseason. I know we have more depth and experience now, but Meyer was a guy that we were hearing about a lot last offseason as a breakout player.
The hamstring issues really killed his season and he never recovered as other guys passed him on the depth chart. I'm hoping he'll be healthy this season and be a dependable guy in the passing game. I don't expect him to start but he should help with the depth of the WRs.

O-Line Gameplan
I have some questions.
Going into the Loeffler era, all indications were that we would be moving towards a smash-mouth running attack. Yet last year we didn't seem to be geared that way. In reviews of our o-line execution I remember reading a lot about influence blocking, sweeps, veers, etc.
Didn't we put more emphasis on getting players to the edge than power running?
Is it harder to execute influence/zone blocking than straight man?

WSJ: Why College Football is studying the MLS
Saw this on Reddit and thought it was worth a read. I like the notion that its about fan engagement and them feeling like part of something bigger, not just more wifi.

Yay! Season opener time change
The season opener against William & Mary is no longer a nooner. The game has been pushed back to 4pm!
Virginia Tech's football season has been pushed back 4 hours, but I'll definitely take it.
This may or may not be Whit's doing, but I'll just assume he's being awesome yet again!

How long before an 8 team playoff??
Not sure if this has already been posted a long time ago or not but was wondering what everyone's thoughts were on how long it would take to increase the playoff size to an 8 team playoff. And then the possibility of a 16 team playoff? I don't think the 16 team playoff will ever happen but there could be an argument made for it and the top 16 teams doesn't seem too ridiculous to me.

ACC Media Weekend questions
Hey guys and gals,
I'm headed to Greensboro for Sunday and Monday's ACC media sessions.
If you have any questions you'd like asked, or a topic maybe you feel should be addressed by Beamer, Maddy or Willie, put them here.
I can't guarantee I'll be able to get them in, but I'd like to have a good feel for what our readers want to know.
You can also hit me on Twitter if you want to interact one-on-one.
Not like that.
Maybe for the gals.
