What has happened to the guy? I may be missing something but is he not at all being used?

Sam Howell, freshman QB, almost carries the Tar Heels to a win over Clemson.

Meanwhile, we sit ours on the bench and go with an inept senior QB who cannot deliver.

Maybe Jerry Kill will slap some sense into Coach Fu and Cornelsen.

what's going on down there?...I thought WVU would be the struggling team this year....hope you all get it fixed...we've got some games to play in the future

As a fan of another team who has also followed VT football since 1992, I’m wondering what the pulse of the fan base is with regard to Coach Fuente. It’s not easy to replace a legend like Coach Beamer, and it is a given there is going to be pressure on the successor. When Fuente was named the head coach, I thought this would be a home run hire. It still may be, but I’m starting to wonder. Transfers and injuries along with some uncharacteristic poor play on defense hasn’t helped Fuente’s cause. What does Hokie Nation think?

Hang out with fellow Hokie fans and chat during the game!

Not a fun one to read

Hokies listless in Lane, blasted by Duke

Get your questions in over the next couple days. Planning on running my answers to them Friday. Football, basketball, recruiting, off-topic, everything’s fair game.

Particularly looking for participation from those who tend to be readers more than active posters on the message board (though obviously both are welcome). Anything I don’t get to in the piece, I’ll try to answer on the board.

Alas, even a big push at the end for the Hokies wasn't enough to overcome the history, etc. that Duke can boast.

On to Xavier Foster and PJ Hall for bigmen (and failing either of them, some backup options) in the 2020 class for VT.

Kids from out of the country are often blank slates at the beginning of their recruiting processes, so the fact that VT is in the door early and that he plays his high school ball in-state can only be a good start:

My prediction's in the story. What have you got?

2019 Virginia Tech Hokies football game preview: Duke

Forgot to post here earlier, my apologies:

Henry Coleman decision an inflection point for Hokie Hoops

Still hearing that Duke seem more likely than VT, but there's also confidence on the Hokies' end of things.

Would absolutely love to see him (finally) find success in the NFL. Great player and great guy who really deserves it.

New Virginia Tech football offer: Jordan Moore

You'll recall I was impressed by him when I saw his team play Jalen Hampton's. He's not gonna be a fit for every team in the country, but I like his potential as a slot and special teams guy. He also has a much better arm than he'll get credit for, and can be a trick-play threat (though listed at an extremely generous 6-1, he's not a Power-5 quarterback).

Some ugly numbers in there (particularly on OL), but I think you can start to see some light at the end of the tunnel.

Pro Football Focus: Top Hokies from Furman win

If the bye week helps those young OL come together a bit, there's a lot of upside on offense - and the defense's performance was mostly fine.

No surprise given the state of the relationship between these programs, I guess:

Per Fuente. Getting Hazelton back sooner rather than later would be huge.

I really like this kid's game, too:
