defense guy handle near offense plan remember school springs watching
I remember watching him at Highland Springs (High School, near Richmond), and when I recruited him I told him my plan was to get him on offense some and get him on defense some, and I think he's the kind of guy that can handle it. I think he's got that kind of ability.

I think us getting Cornell showed a lot of players that Virginia Tech had something going here. Getting him here was huge for us, and it helped us get a lot more good players down the line.
bigger block changed field football game instead
I think that's what changed this game around. Instead of them being 7-3, it's 14-0. It's momentum. It's points. It's everything. There's just no bigger play in football than when you block a kick, particularly a field goal.

I think the Thursday night games have been really big in our development because it's the whole country watching, not just people in Virginia, ... I think they're big. If you can play well, they're a tremendous recruiting advantage. If you're playing on Saturday, you're competing against five games in your time slot. If you're playing on Thursday night, there's not much else on TV.

He's a tough kid. I'm disappointed for Jimmy, but if he can't go, it's time for Brandon Frye to step it up.
against good percent
He's going to be going up against a pretty good player, and I don't think you can go out there and be 90 percent and be effective. You have to be 100 percent.
