Because we're all Sunday morning quarterbacks.

We are #10 Total Defense which is now surprise.
But we are also the #44 Offense which is a good sign for sure as plenty of other schools played FCS teams with worse defenses them W&M.
I think the consensus is that all we really need is a Bud Foster defense, with an average to OK offense to really go places...
Well we've got that so far!

What happened to Josh Stanford, only heard good things about him in the offseason and thought he was really good last year. I am really excited about the new guys, but would still like to see him making plays....was he hurt or are the other guys just better already?

I particularly like the little factoids at the bottom, below the scoring summary:

I would first like to say that I thought our offense played pretty well yesterday. I thought we moved the ball very well and it looks like having the TEs, and a formidable running back tandem really helped open up the offense. It's also nice have a WR like Ford out there.
Now on to the bad...
1) I thought we looked sloppy on offense. After the game I felt like we left some points on the field.
2) JC Coleman should be used only on obvious passing downs, cause he is terrible with the ball in his hands as an actual RB. I know a bunch of you are sick and tired of watching him try to get our 3rd and Shorts/Goals.

Being in love with Hokie football used to mean something. We were never expected to dominate all of college football, if we were ever to win a national title it would be by the skin of our teeth not the force of our reputation. And we liked it that way. Those were the feast or famine years of the lunch pail defense and a Buffalo Church offense (every play was based on a wing and a prayer).

McKenzie, Williams, Ford, Hodges, Phillips, Fuller, Facyson etc etc etc are ALL underclassmen. The future is very bright. And in my opinion, so is this season. Vanilla Vick played outstandingly today. Defense gave up a few big plays but didn't give up a touchdown. Solid play from a number of guys on the offense.
Long story short -- HOW ABOUT THEM HOKIES!
LET'S BEAT THE PANTS OFF THE BUCKEYES.

Going to try and update this with players who make 53 man roster, practice squads and who gets cut. Also if someone wants to add CFL and arena league guys that would be great. Like to follow Hokies around, I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Andre Smith - injured reserve Cleveland
James Anderson - signed to Cowboys 12/30/14 after being cut by Falcons on 12/24/14

soooooo according to loluva fans the reason they ran the ball on 3rd and 10 was because "the quarterback misread the play number on his arm band". What was it one of the coaches said over the offseason about UVA? I believe it was just "they find a way to lose" god I wish I could have watched that game.

Seen in the North Endzone during the 4th quarter. You can't wear the shirt and then spend the game on your phone.

Once again, the caveat: There is no better team-player thant JCC. Unfortunately, the depth chart for successful teams must reflect the order of productivity.
I was all in for JC Coleman to break through. Finally 100%, I wanted to see him excel.
I'm not sure how you could defend keeping him as your starter with this:
This is apples to apples.
Shai and Juice were running with the ones, against the ones, just like JC.
They were able to move the pile, make guys miss, and find the holes (especially Shai), that JC just didn't.

Two ways to watch. I would recommend watching via WatchESPN as it will provide the best quality.
1) Go to WatchESPN.com
2) Click on Remote Access
3) It will ask you for your provider. Select Xfinity/Comcast
4) It should then take you to the Comcast login screen. Enter the following:
Username: VTFootball2014 Password: Hokie4lifE
(password is case-sensitive)
5) Once you click ok/sign-in, you should be redirected back to the WatchESPN website where you should now have access to the game. All you need to do is find it and click on it. Enjoy!

Post commentary, interesting stuff, predictions on how badly the Hoos will lose, etc. from all non-VT games here. Lots of good action on opening weekend!

I don't know how GameDay will top this, ever.

From Hokiesports web site:
Skipper 3-2-1
To signify the start of Hokie Village, Skipper will fire 3.5 hours prior to kickoff. Additionally, Skipper will fire when the stadium gates open (2 hours prior to kickoff) and with one hour remaining until kickoff.
That is awesome - our tailgate does a shot of soco right before heading to the stadium - we can now usher that in with an announcement by Skipper!
