The Transfer of John Dewberry
In 1981, Milton High School's senior quarterback John Dewberry signed up to play for Vince Dooley's Georgia Bulldogs. Dewberry had enjoyed a fairly competitive recruitment between Dooley and Bill Curry but decided to go the Dog route "handing the ball off to Herschel". Dewberry's first season in...
Where do you rank Tech-UGA amongst Intrastate Football Rivalries?
I took the 50 States and ranked them based on their 50 biggest intrastate rivalries. I ranked the Auburn-Alabama rivalry as #1 followed by the FSU-Miami-UF rivalry due to the fact that outside of Southern Cal those five programs have pretty much dominated college football the last 20 years or so. ...
The Preview: Duke football is dead last in...
Last year, I previewed the Blue Devils by posting what they were dead last in statistically in conference play. This season is no different. The Blue Devils are dead last in... 1. Rushing Offense - 95.67 Yards Per Game is the worst in conference play by almost 10 yards. Tech averages around 273...

Hokie Defense Suffers from Tooth Decay
The Hokies have been on the decline defensively since 2008. In 2008, their defense only gave up a touchdown to an opposing offense 15% of all ACC drives. In 2009, it went up to 15.29%. In 2010, it went up again to 18.56%. And in 2011, it's a startling 24.07% of the time. The Hokies are giving...
The VPI Hokie Preview: Coastal Championship Part VII
The first and most obvious note about the Hokies is that Tyrod Taylor is gone. The most efficient offense in the ACC has been stymied as of late. Last week, Duke held a team to 14 points for the first time in 2 years. Yes, that would be the Hokies. Inconsistency is the name of the game for the...
