Hokie Football Ramblings

[jevim]

First off, congratulations to the East Carolina Pirates. I think they just gave every other Hokie opponent a playbook on how to beat our team this year. And shown that BeamerBall, by itself, isn't a lock to win a game. It probably shouldn't have been as close as it was, but I'll take it! The big question for those Pirates is if they can do it again

I also watched that game, and agree the ECU gave a clinic on how to beat the Hokies.

I disagree with calls to play Taylor. If you look at where the rest of Tech's team is, we are starting true freshmen and sophomores because we lost 14 starters - including pretty much every wide receiver and linebacker. Much as it pains me to admit it, I suspect this year will be focused on rebuilding. When rebuilding, a team needs some clear leaders, and a 5th year senior QB can provide that.

Reshirt Taylor, and when he comes in next year, he'll have an experienced offense, including a solid corps of receivers.
