VivaFutbol 10 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 You forgot Boykin at WR. He is gonna be special in my opinion. Also, Journell should be solid in the kicking game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salemfootball 10 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 THERE ARE ALSO SEVERAL NOTABLE BACKUPS AT OTHER POSITIONS AND TALENT THAT NEEDS TO BE HARNESSED. TECH WILL HAVE TALENT AND DEPTH NEXT YEAR. IF TECH WOULD HAVE MADE HALF THE MISTAKES AGAINST KANSAS, AUBURN AND GEORGIA, THEY WOULD HAVE WON THOSE GAMES GOING AWAY! THIS GROUP KIND OF REMINDS ME OF THE GROUP THAT WON AGAINST TEXAS IN THE SUGAR BOWL EXCEPT WITH MORE TALENT. THEY TEND TO SHUT UP AND PLAY!:eek: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VivaFutbol 10 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 No, we didn't have him, Warren, Marshman, Morgan who didn't play...Morgan has been out a while with the ACL. And on another not, Logan Thomas is looking promising in the US Army AA Bowl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hokies4Ever 23 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 No, he's strictly a defensive player. At the end of the year he was getting reps at WR. So next year its a toss up to what side of the ball he's going to be playing on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham-VT Fan 46 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 be in the RB position for VT. Both likely to move to the defensive side of the ball. Next season could be pretty good, depending on the two main factors: 1) Can TT go a complete game without getting dinged up. There is no proven QB behind him this year; and 2) Can Stiney and the other offensive coaches actually put together some cohesive game plans for an entire season. People are euphoric now over the OB win (and rightfully so), but we are also just 3 games removed from one of the most anemic offensive performance in all of college football (the Duke game). The OB game was a very good game for VT, but certainly wasn't a "great" game, and people are getting caught up in that now in thinking that VT will challenge for the NC next year. Expectations need to be seriously tempered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expectations need to be seriously tempered. Hahaha, "the most anemic offensive performance in all of college football". I'm going to have to agree with that superlative. As for next season, I think it's reasonable to expect another 10 win season. Defense should be solid, even if Foster gets hired somewhere else, and our offense should be at least half way competent. Either way, I'm elated with the way this season turned out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deleted Account 5,203 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 As much as I hate to crash this festival of hope and dreams, that's what I have to do here. One thing that I haven't seen mentioned yet is how much better the ACC will be next season. This conference was VERY young this season, and you have anywhere from 10-12 teams who, on their face, will be vastly improved next season. In the Coastal alone, you have Miami/UNC (who are recruiting out of their minds) and GT (who has a very solid football mind at the helm). On the other side, you have NC State (my pick for their division next year: solid talent + excellent coach), FSU (bringing in all those Florida recruits), WF (Grobe = fantastic coach), and Clemson (always recruits well). VT will be much improved, I guarantee. But, it's not like you're the only ones this season. And with that massive liability at OC, I could see an agonizing heartbreak next year. Think of it this way: you have a better team, but you have a worse postseason destination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan4VT 4,557 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 No, he's strictly a defensive player. I've talked to Stin himself and he said we would be playing some reciever next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
