After we beat Miami, SMU will be the favorite to win the ACC.

Agree. Putting a spy on Ward is such an obvious counter that I suspect others have tried and failed. We need an unconventional solution.

As a stepping-stone, they essentially bought their way into the P4 by agreeing to a no-revenue sharing deal for 9 years. Not many schools can do that. I was surprised at how well they have done in their first year of ACC competition, but Rhett Lashlee is a good coach and has been recruiting...

Our pass rush was improved against Drones. But teams with a better pass rush than ours have failed to contain Ward. He has had 17 sacks this year but still puts up video game numbers. In my amateur opinion, our defense would be better off focusing on Restrepo and limiting his catches as much as...

UL is also a common opponent of front-runners Miami and SMU, in case either of those teams ends up with an ACC loss. So Clemson needs a lot of help to get to the ACC championship.

If we are healthy, our offense absolutely should be able to hang with them. Miami's defense has been very shaky in ACC play. Heck, even Duke scored a season-high 31 points last weekend. Our challenge is to avoid a shootout. Miami seems to own the fourth quarter.

Maybe. But lately, UNC and FSU have to be near the top of the list.

Who is responsible for keeping the play-by-play stats? Is it the ACC, or someone assigned from VT Football Operations?

Another week passes, another "day-to-day."

You're correct. Still begs the question - why deliberately cheat to make it 2nd and 1 instead of 2nd and 2? VT already had 3 downs to make only 2 yards. Seems unnecessary. I am inclined to agree with CBK who stated in today's presser that it was an "inadvertive administrative error."

Initially, I thought it looked very suspicious. Then I realized it happened between downs 2 & 3. At that point, there was no way of knowing that there would be a 4th and short upcoming. So I'm thinking it was just a blunder.

It would be interesting to hear the crew's explanation, but I doubt one will ever be made public. Most issues that people have with refs involve "bad calls" or "missed calls", and many are judgment situations. This is not any of those.

The error occurred on VT's second touchdown drive when the score was 6-7. They were in field goal range and might have attempted one had they known it was 4th and 2 instead of 4th and 1. Regardless, getting either a stop there or allowing just a field goal would have likely changed our...

Culture starts at the top. And I don’t mean just the top of the GTAA. Cabrera has shown a greater intolerance for incompetence than previous administrations. This gives me hope.

AJC recruit article Check the author's bio to determine if there might be some bias.

You're positing a scenario where the two QBs magnitude of injury is essentially identical. Surely you recognize that other scenarios exist where both are hurt but one is capable of playing while the other isn't.

"If you agree to resign, we will agree to not disclose any details."

Agree with all you said, and add one more - get healthy(er). Maybe not so easy to fix, but the byes are bound to help. Regarding the all-important points stats (scored and allowed) and focusing on Special Teams again, what is the point differential they have cost us? Consider the missed...

There’s a lot more that we don’t know than we do know. We don’t know if Key had anything to do with his resignation. We don’t know if the reason was personal, performance-related (unlikely), or some sort of rule or ethical violation. My opinion is that the recent issues with special teams are...

Roof’s ability to keep getting DC jobs is also a testament to how small the P4 coaching community is. Many of the coaches know each other from shared tenures at prior schools. Ted seems like a good all-around guy, good recruiter, and hasn’t done anything to tarrnish a school’s reputation...
