A few thoughts on VT

[hscoach]

Is this point spread to big.  I know Bama should be very good this year.  However, it is the first game of the year with a rebuilt offensive line.  VT seems to always be tough on D and seem to be one of the best in the area of special teams every year.  Also, they have a big strong and mobile QB.

I watched them a couple of times last year.  They've lost their edge.
Even their kicking game was poor.
Unless they've improved in every phase of the game, we have nothing to worry about (except AJ's foot).

Well to me point spread don't mean anything really. It is just there when you play pickem so be it. If CNS don't establish it in football to me it don't mean anything. JMHO. RTR!

[hscoach]

That is good to know because I didn't watch them last year.

Bud Foster and their D has not lost their edge. I think we can stop them but I worry about us consistently moving the ball. VT always plays good special teams. I think we cover but it could be more difficult than we expect.

Anything can happen but I'm honestly not worried about this one.  (I hope the team doesn't have the same attitude though.)

They were terrible in special teams last year; at the bottom of the ACC.

Watch these highlights against Miami from last year.

Here's an article that discusses "Beamer ball" as a lost art at VT:

I just saw Beamer on ESPN.  He said that 11 potential starters for them didn't even make the trip.  He said they have a ton of Freshmen that are fired up and ready to go, but he said they have no idea what they are getting themselves into because they are just Freshman.  He also said he thought this might be the best team he has ever had to face off against.  So, he is setting expectations pretty low.  I don't think he is bluffing us either.



Are you boys trying to goad me into changing my score prediction to 98-0?  No worries, we got this one.

I think Beamer is going through what many older coaches have gone through, like Bowden, Paterno and even our beloved Bear. The recruiting is getting weaker because the recruits fear retirement of the head coach, during their athletic career at the university, so they go elsewhere.

VT has had mediocre recruiting classes at best over the last few years. The talent just isn't there anymore.

Injuries or not I look for a good defensive effort from VT. I just think we are too strong for them on both sides of the ball.

Probably true.  They got a bunch of their starters back from 2012.  But they lost some to injuries too.

We need a good scrimmage.  For certain, their D will be better than their O.

Their defensive stats weren't great last year, but mostly because their offense was inept and the D spent a lot of time on the field.

I think we cover easily as long as AJ is OK.
