True/False, Ryan Williams will be the best back we face...

North Carolina is also a top 10 defense
(insert they did it against bad competition here)

Nebraska has an outstanding defense

I would lean toward "not so much" on the NC comment but your right about Nebraska, very solid defense. I think that makes two in a row against the Huskers. Very nice wins for the Hokies.

Give me Montario and I'm good.

I am as big a Montario fan as it gets. He is my favorite back in the nation, and I think he is the most complete back in the nation.

That said, Ryan Williams is doing what he is doing as a Freshman.

And Hokie fan, I don't get the whole speed thing. He most surely does not lack top end speed, if anything he would lack top end power.. ??

Does he run the Wildcat? If not, then I really don't care.

 

[IV_Hokie12]

He has run the wildcat exactly one time this year.

 

[ptclaus98]

He has run the wildcat exactly one time this year.

Then he isn't the best back we face.

I will say that I feel a little more comfortable facing them knowing the have Stinespring as their offensive coordinator (definitely not a good thing) and we have MK as our defensive coordinator.

My dad follows the Hokies fairly religiously and he made a comment the other day that if the Hokies had LK calling the offense in Blacksburg with the defense they have, they would be in the National Championship game.

I really hope UT comes out on top of this game so I won't have to listen to him for the next 15 years.

One of the real issues I find in this thread however, is the fact that there are 28 people who voted McCluster as a better back than Ingram.

 

[IV_Hokie12]

Exactly what does running the wildcat have to do with how good of a back he is?

Nothing - but we got abused all year by RBs in the Wildcat.

Good luck trying to run on this D without it.

Ingram is way better, McCluster is a better play maker but not overall back. I would take Montario personally over everyone.

 

[PowerT83]

I'm gonna go out on a limb & say that from now til the end of the season Ryan Williams is the best runningback UT will face.

Great, now we have to deal with Hokie trolls for a month.

RW is the real deal. We've had some good but not great backs since Kevin Jones left. But with a good day against the Vols D, RW could break Jones single-season rushing record at VT. He put up 13 att. for 71 yds and 2 td's against Alabama in his first college game. I have a feeling him and Eric Berry will meet up a few times.

You'd better hope not for RW's sake.

Haha. Well I'm hoping that they don't really "meet"...but more like RW doing a little direction changing before impact.

I would say the lack of an inside LB (since Reveiz went out) has hurt us as much as anything. Our young one (Lathers) just can't hold his own right now. I look for that to be a potential (serious) problem in this bowl game.
