[Hokie Sports] Feature on Tyjuan Garbutt
TyJuan Garbutt is back in a big way for the Hokies
I just try to continue to play hard and lead more by example. I'm one of the lighter guys in the room. Unless it's gameday or game situation or we're about to get ready for practice, I'm usually busting someone's chops until we hit the field because I always like for people to be themselves and to be comfortable.
It's nice to make the plays and have all that production. But, even if I didn't make any plays, I'd still be the same Ty.

Andy Bitter's Article on HS Coaches View on Virginia Tech Recruiting Efforts
Andy put together a well-researched article on the Athletic that anonymously interviewed seven different high school coaches in Virginia and asked for their views on VT, UVA and other in-state schools on their recruiting effort.
As you can imagine, it's a bit of a mixed bag - Some coaches lamented the release of Zohn, some talk about the lack of contact with the coaching staff, some don't like the #TX2VT movement, some think they've done a good job.
It's a good read, I would recommend going through if you have an athletic account.

Corn on Burmeister
From VT Scoop
"Braxton wants to be able to do anything we want him to do," Cornelsen said later in the interview. "I know he understands what's going on. I know he sees it well out there. I know he feels like he can execute anything we put in front of him. But that communication of what he feels the best about going into the week and during the games is something that is a continuous process between him and I."
I'm sorry but I have read this numerous times and I can't figure out especially the last sentence. Is it communication or execution or both?

Cool article about Yosh Nijman
Dunno how many of you caught the Packers @ 49ers game last Sunday night, but Yosh Nijman started at LT for the Packers due to Bakhtiari being out with an injury. Happened to see this article talking about the job he did, which was pretty impressive considering he was making his first NFL start and facing off against Nick Bosa. Talk about trial by fire!

Jerod Evans Interview
Joe, if this is noise please delete. I felt to post based on the context of our discussions regarding the current coaching staff.

Fuente has beef with Jerod. Jerod tiptoes around the word, but points more toward his treatment after the 2016 season.

Fuente vs the Bye Week
For some reason I had it in my head that Fuente lead teams have not performed well off the bye week. Pulling up our past records shows some interesting results...

The Case for Justin Fuente: A Retort
Selhini put together a very solid argument for the case of Justin Hamilton replacing Fuente as head coach. I would like to proffer an alternative; the retention of Justin Fuente as head coach. I'm not saying one way or another if I want it to happen, but these are what I'm seeing as the bits of data that would support keeping him.

Only a month into the season, five teams still haven't played a conference game, and the ACC is already wide open for anybody, with the preseason favorites already behind.
Let's keep tabs on who's got a chance and who's already dug themselves into a hole.

-Wake Forest (2-0) has a tiebreaker over FSU.
-NC State (1-0) has a tiebreaker over Clemson.

Needs help:
-Clemson (1-1) needs two NC State losses.
-FSU (0-2) needs losses by WF (3), Louisville (3), and additional losses by NC State, BC, and Syracuse.
