    Why we gonna whip dem Hokie Pokies.

    I would say Marcus Cox's success could just as easily point to our D-line not being as good as expected as that he is underrated. For the record, all the sports media people were talking about him pre-game, so if the coaches and players underesrimated him then they were the only ones. Our QB...

    CFN: Tennessee vs. Virginia Tech Game Preview

    I love it when people present a contoversial opinion and present no facts or even reasons for that opinion. On an aside, what is a donkey rack? Is that even a real thing?

    Grandpa DeBord is destroying the offense.

    First I'd like to point out that, imo, had we played a 1985 offense instead of this more modern incarnation, we would have blown App St out. There wasn't a lot of zone blocking, pulling guards, stunts, and spread philosophies in 1985. Had we run a Power I, Power T, or Pro Form offense from 1985...

    Hokies aren't that good.

    Va Tech is better than App St and it wont be much of an argument. At the end of the season even if Va Tech is 6-6 and App St only loses to UT and Miami, one could still make the argument that they didn't play anybody. How good would Va Tech be in that conference? Unknown. I'm tired of our...

    Hokies aren't that good.

    To me it comes down to coaching. Remember, the only decent victory of Dooley's career was against Jones' Bearcats. Can Jones finally shake off the monkey on his back and prove he belongs as a coach in one of college football's elite conferences? Or will he gameplan poorly, again, and allow an...

    All this panic around offense if Sad and Silly

    Well, until the season is over then discussing the remainder of the season is always a "what if" game. We are 1-0, true. We also played an inferior team, showed a weakness on O-line for better teams to focus on, showed and inability to pass the ball downfield, showed uninspired offensive play...

    All this panic around offense if Sad and Silly

    While I agree that the O-line is a major concern, we knew they were likely to struggle a bit as they are breaking in some new guys. The "biggest" concern to me was the lack of total dominance against a smaller, weaker O-line by our stud defensive line. That App St team should not have been able...

    1st play on Offense

    That seems to be the ongoing theory, although it baffles me. "We stink at throwing the football and everyone knows it, so let's show them up by throwing the ball!" I would line up in a Power I or Power T, get rid of the fancy blocking schemes and just straight run block, ans smash them straight...
