The use of hands on the back is not a foul when:
a player is making a personal attempt to recover a loose ball
the opponent turns away from the blocker when contact is imminent
both of the blocker’s hands are on the opponent’s side. (If either hand is on the back, it is a foul.)
It looks like a block in the back to me. Its pretty lame to hit someone from behind who isn't even making an attempt to make a play. I guess the punter will learn to protect himself from now on.
Marcus Morris is a pretty physical defender but he's just not a good rebounder for whatever reason. I imagine Drummond had a big part in it. I don't remember him chucking him too many 3 balls. However, I do remember a lot of ISO/post ups from mid range. He was good at it but no really good...
Looks like we pretty much locked into the tournament this year since we are guaranteed to finish .500 in the ACC. It would be nice to get a few more wins to separate us from the log jam in the middle of the ACC though.
I think he will be a late round (5-7) pick and will make a roster or at the very least practice squad. Quarterbacks with his size and arm talent do not grow on trees. Logan Thomas has floated around the NFL as QB this long and Evans had a better year than Logan's sophmore year.
That said, I...
What an amazing week for hokie sports! Coming back down 24 points to win vs Arkansas and blowing the doors off Duke in basketball. They couldn't stop our guards from getting in the paint. We did a good job rebounding the ball despite the size mismatch. We actually got Duke to play small for a while.
No one has perfect record except Western Michigan and Alabama so we should just leave it up to subjective measures? What other sport rewards teams places team based on subjective measures only?
Alabama is the best team this year but the best part about sports is the best team doesn't always win.
The reason we need a 8 team playoff is so that teams can earn their spot on the field. This way we don't have to go through any "resume" bs. I don't know any other sport where a committee determines who makes the playoff. CBB doesn't count cause they let in 68 teams and champions get an...
I decided to try and count.
1- DE blows by Nijman and Jerod stiff arms him.
#7 was close but then gets destroyed by Teller. I don't think I will count this one.
2- #6 never touches Evans but got juked badly.
3- can't see the number but a guy comes off of Phillips block and whiffs.
4- #1 misses...
Woot woot, another hokies blowout! All board the hype train! Choo choo!
The Jerod Evans TD run was just awesome. I think he juked out like half the ECU defense.
I think Teller started but then got a few blocking below the waist 15 yard penalties. Fuenter visually reacted on the last and Teller ended up glued to the bench.
