I am more concerned about Kyle's d than his o. The book on Kyle is obviously take it straight at him and you can score. Our interior defense may be our ultimate downfall. Doc

I really like what VT has done with their basketball. When they came to the ACC they were widely viewed by many as the "Duke football" of the ACC in basketball. The Hokies were going to be cellar dwellers. Given their talent, VT has been over achievers. That is a testament to their coaching, fans, and the school itself.

I heard two radio sports talk guys in the last two days say that Duke is not a FF team because of our lack of inside play(defense & rebounding). Go Duke!

How do you like the elbow to Singler's face? Intentional or regular box out?

We always have trouble winning football games in Blacksburg.

Good no call? Yeh right! Go Duke!

Is it too much to ask or could you see the NCAA going back to some of these incidents and handing out suspensions for some these dirty plays like the NFL does in some cases?

Can someone clarify the offensive foul call on VT with about 1:30 to go? I didn't see it.

Moving screen. Delaney was running through, and while he wasn't trying to set a screen, he effectively set one while moving.

It was a charge taken by Jon but was very iffy

Or were you talking about the illegal screen in front of the Va Tech bench?

I think it was actually McClure.

Good explaination!! Thanks

[House G]

I have never seen so many missed block/charge calls in my life--it truly must be the most difficult call to make in real time.

[dbd4ever]

I think it was actually McClure.

McClure was defending the drive and you couldn't see Jon step up until they showed the replay and he came up from the baseline to take the charge.

I think we're talking about different plays. I was talking about the moving screen Delaney committed, when he ran through McClure. It was Scheyer who took a "charge" on a different play.
