    Ricky Brumfield

    I am still not sure what to think about what is going on. We know that he won't be going to VT. "Suspension" sounds like some kind of investigation or disciplinary thing. I believe I read that he was at practice this week, and maybe even yesterday. That wouldn't coincide with making a...

    Ricky Brumfield

    Kind of an odd thing to be reported, but not reported nor confirmed by KQ, Rod, Chad, nor Ken. Also no details - reported by someone with knowledge? people saw him escorted to his car? Can't say that it isn't true, but I'll wait until it is announced or at least confirmed by one of the guys...

    King Injury Factual Updates

    Regarding King Key said "...hopeful goes closer to doubtful. If it was something that he would be out right now we'd say it, but I'm still holding out hope." I would say chances are very high that he doesn't play. Regarding Efford he said he was confident, but I think it has been reported...

    Zach Pyron is a tough dude!

    Not trying to imply that height at LOS is not something to concentrate on and for coaches to pay attention to. But, that was not the issue against ND. For both FGs, the snap was far too high. The holder barely got the ball to the ground on the one that was blocked. I only saw it from the...

    IF King is out for VT, does Pyron get the start?

    Maybe it is simply because that reporter posted a story about Philo moving up to the second string QB for the VT game this week almost immediately after the press conference...

    Zach Pyron is a tough dude!

    Like @forensicbuzz was saying, it doesn't have to be a zero sum gain argument. Saying that Pyron threw better long passes Saturday than King has in several weeks doesn't have to mean that the person thinks that King sucks. Saying that King is a better scrambler than Pyron doesn't have to mean...

    Zach Pyron is a tough dude!

    Anything that would cause tightness or intermittent pain could cause downfield passing to be inaccurate. Also, quite possible to still throw screen passes well with slight/medium tightness or pain. Screens are easier to complete and less subject to interceptions. He has been much more...

    Zach Pyron is a tough dude!

    It has appeared to me that King has been injured, or at least affected by an injury for several games. Most of the long throws he has made in the last several games have not been very accurate. It doesn't have to be a loss of confidence in his ability, it could be concern that he wasn't...

    Zach Pyron is a tough dude!

    That kind of matches how I felt during the game. Not going by actual plays or stats, jut how I felt: Things were pretty even through the first half. Stalling on the last drive and the bad snap on the FG attempt hurt. Stalling on the first series of the second half, then allowing ND to score...

    QB King out vs Hokies

    The really bad thing about "reporting" like the tweet from the VT guy at 247 is that there is a ton of credit, but no accountability. If King doesn't play, then people will start to listen to everything he says because he was the first to report it. However, if King does play, nobody will ever...

    Zach Pyron is a tough dude!

    Are you able to compare the first half and second half stats? Just from watching the game in the stands, it seemed to me that the run game was horrible the entire game, but that the passing game was good during the first half, and dropped off greatly during the second half. Just casual...

    King Injury Factual Updates

    Probably more accurate, and better sourced than the Tweet from the VT guy. I didn't see any tweets about after-practice interviews with coaches or players yet. Have they even practiced this week? If King is day-to-day and they haven't even practiced, who could possibly be a source that King...

    Four regular season games. Post season does not count at all.

    I think you must have watched a different football game from the one that I watched.

    Zach Pyron is a tough dude!

    Supposedly there was a very heated argument a few years ago in the GT HC's office. If that argument took place, the HC was yelling something like the GT players could not win football games, and deserved to have a good time. An assistant coach was yelling asking why the HC was even a coach and...

    Postgame: ND 31-GT 13

    There is another thread complaining about keeping Pyron in and going for 2 to get within two scores. Sometimes people complain no matter what you do. In this case some people are complaining that we stopped trying to protect the players, while at the same time some are complaining that we...

    Zach Pyron is a tough dude!

    I think that game had even smaller odds of winning. All Miami had to do was take a knee and the clock would have expired. Ga Tech couldn't do anything about it. Ga Tech only won because the Miami coach made a stupid decision. There have been very improbable games in the past. A high...

    Very unlikely to happen. However, odds of losing were more than 99.5% last year at Miami and their HC decided to run to make stats instead of taking a knee. The defense could have given up and not tried to strip the ball. Instead, the defense kept playing like the game wasn't over, and they...

    Zach Pyron is a tough dude!

    Yes, this. Odds are extremely low of this panning out. However, just kicking the PAT odds are 100% of losing the game.
