The Virginia Tech football program was built on defense under Frank Beamer and Bud Foster. The defense has fallen off after the Beamer regime ended, and the Hokies’ identity doesn’t seem to have the same blue-collar mentality Beamer built in Blacksburg.

Louisville got things going in the second quarter with some big plays on offense and a few stops on defense. The Cards finished the half by extending the lead with the hopes of putting the game away early in the second half. This is a complete bust by the defense. Multiple players end up not […]

Their knock is like nobody’s else’s. Especially at 1:39 in the morning. The polizei I’m talking about.

Virginia Tech made the classic mistake of not firing its coach last season, which led the folks in charge to have to fire him three games into this season. Brent Pry couldn’t get over the hump during his time in Blacksburg, and his team looked overmatched in each game to start the season. Phillip Montgomery […]

Louisville took on Boston College last weekend at home with the goal of not having a letdown game like Jeff Brohm has had in the past. They beat Miami, in part, because they schemed up an aggressive game plan on both sides of the ball. Brohm used creative formations and play calls to put Miami […]
