hopefully Stinespring will pick up some slack this year

Don't count on it...and the D won't be able to save his a$$ next year either...

Exactly. It could turn out to be a 5-6 loss season with Stinespring handcuffing the offense and an inexperienced defense.

That's what everyone in Charlottesville hopes happens. With one of those coming on November 22nd, 2008. But I digress.
In all likelihood, the whole 10-win season streak will be snapped. However, the core of the offense returns in Glennon, Taylor, and Ore: with four linemen returning, that is likely enough to offset a relatively inexperienced defense...for the most part. Wide receiver play will be key, since the top 4 wide receivers on the depth chart (correct me if I'm wrong) are leaving. Little tidbit on the subject here: http://www.realfootball365.com/college/articles/2008/01/reloading_virginia_tech_must_r.html
That is, if Stinespring doesn't sabotage it. I'd still trade Stinespring for Groh the Younger, in the end.
My prediction: 8-4.

I think we have seen the last run from Ore at Tech...I hope I'm wrong...but I think he's gone.
