Miami = Very concerning Judging by the first few weeks this season, VT will have to play their very best "A" game to prevent Miami from stealing a win. It's good for the ACC that they're on their way back up, but I didn't think they would be this good so quickly.

While certainly there may be a little bias towards the Hokies ;) I'm interested in how a neutral board sees things playing out tomorrow for our tussle in Blacksburg against the children of the corn. Good luck against North Texas ...hope you all can stay injury free. - COH

Nice to see Trent put up big numbers this past weekend. As CFN puts it, "Alabama has clearly the best backfield in all of college football." Could you imagine if Coffee had returned this season?? Wow... Just to keep you guys up to speed on the Hokies, RB Ryan Williams finished with 200 total...

I posted this before scanning the board, but evidently I missed Barron's bad plays. Several Bama posters are saying that he played a bad game, but what stood out to me was how quick and physical he was at the position. He definitely looks the part ...I suppose he just needs the reps.

Great game Saturday night. While the Miami/FSU game last night was probably the most thrilling game over the weekend, our “little” showdown certainly lived up to the billing in my opinion. First and foremost, congratulations on the victory – your team sure earned it. After...

I think I miscommunicated what I was trying to say. I am no means saying that Williams would start, or be more effective, than a healthy Darren Evans. Evans would be more effective because he's got much more experience, he's great in short yardage, and he really has a nose for the end zone...

Haha, I suppose "stronger" can be taken several different ways. In terms of talent, Williams is the most talented back on the team - and that includes a pre-ACL tear Darren Evans. Talent-wise the pecking order would be Ryan Williams, David Wilson, Darren Evans, Josh Oglesby. David Wilson came...

Two comments on this from a VT perspective: 1) If we were going to lose a starter, this was probably the best one to lose. VT has really scaled back on using formations with the fullback over the past few years, and Jefferson's back-up is equally capable of handling anything that is asked of...

I've only been on here for a week, but you guys are a classy bunch. Bama fans fans know their football, respect the game, and are as objective as Crimson glasses will allow:wink: As the VT program has risen in stature of the past decade, our fan base has had the privilege of interacting with...

That's correct. VT has really only been able to match up talent-wise with Top 5 teams over the past 10-12 years. Since the late 90's, VT has only played a handful of Top 5 teams. They were... No. 2 Boston College 14, No. 8 Tech 10 – 2007 (home) No. 2 Louisiana State 48, No. 9 Tech 7...

You bet. VT has never had a Top 10 recruiting class, and we've only landed a handful of 5 stars in school history. Regarding the 3 you mentioned... - Fluker is a freaking specimen and he's got the size - how's his technique? - Kirkpatrick will be a superstar. We would love to have him. -...

Keep an eye out for this one Saturday. C'mon ...ya gotta admit it's funny :wink:

There are no reports of illness with VT's players. Everyone is more or less healthy with the exception of Darren Evans (obviously). RB Josh Oglesby was battling a hamstring injury a few weeks ago, and RB David Wilson sprained a shoulder in VT's first scrimmage, but both are expected to be at...

Correct. In fact Worilds is smaller than some of Alabama's linebackers at 6-2 254 lbs. Rolando McClain and Dont'a Hightower are both around 6-4 250. Cody is the best at doing what he does. He is a first round talent and is a nightmare for any offense, particularly in the running game. He...

The biggest difference between the two defenses I see is that it's tougher to move the ball up and down the field consistently against Alabama's defense, while VT's defense is better at creating turnovers. Think one defense as a brick wall, while the other being highly capable of forcing an...
