Hated yesterday more for McClease than any other player. On top of running the ball well, you will rarely find a player who improved on the parts of his game that most RBs don’t like to do- block, sell fakes, etc. He was the rock of that offense yesterday.

This game is a criminal indictment of Hilgart’s strength and conditioning. Bad enough VT is outgunned, but looking smaller and much less physical than a team that couldn’t compete against above average Big Ten teams is damning.

There is zero justifiable reason for not televising a spring game/scrimmage. Zero. You don't want fans in? Fine. But, no TV is a smack in the face to the fan base, especially to those of us clawing for a reason to believe VTFB is on the right path. That list gets shorter daily.

As I noted previously, Turner gave the Hokies offensive line a real tough day during the Richmond game. Given the current lack of depth at DT, Turner would be an excellent addition. Very solid player.

I don’t like calling for someone to lose a job. It is a gross part of sports fandom culture. But, if Whit Babcock’s expectation is physical dominance, annual contention for the ACC Coastal, and an inspired and generous base for donations, well it isn’t happening.

A lesson for Brent Pry hoops- getting productive lower G5 transfers can make you competitive, but you have to start filling out your lineup with top tier dudes. VT is a little shorter, a little slower, and a little less length so when the shot making isn’t there it is tough night
