So stoked for this game, being from Richmond, so many of my friends grew up being VT fans and gave me shit during the Weis years, and a couple of my friends at VT right now are going to come up for the game next year

Virginia Tech starting DB suspended indefinitely after marijuana charge - CBSSports.com

By Chip Patterson

Virginia Tech starting cornerback/rover Adonis Alexander has been suspended indefinitely by coach Justin Fuente.

Though the details of the suspension were not released by VT, online court records indicate that Alexander and defensive end Houshun Gaines, who was also suspended indefinitely, were arrested on marijuana and alcohol charges over the weekend. Fuente said he will not comment further on the matter.

Alexander was charged with possession of marijuana on April 24, the day after the Hokies spring game and Gaines was charged with possession of marijuana and underage purchase/possession of alcohol on the same day. Alexander and Gaines are both scheduled to appear in court on June 27.

In cases like these, it is common to see this indefinite suspension carry through the legal process, and even further, until the coach believes a punishment has been served for the misstep. Until we hear otherwise, Alexander is still expected to play a key role in the Hokies defense next season.

If Alexander's status is jeopardized by this charge or any further issues it would present a huge issue for the Hokies in 2016. Alexander recorded four interceptions and 55 tackles as he moved from rover to starting cornerback after Kendall Fuller went down with a season-ending injury in 2015.

Hopefully it snows when they play here, that might slow them down.

 

[Riddickulous]

They've looked fantastic so far. Fuente might be legit.

 

[zelezo vlk]

I hope that they haven't figured out that snap and handoff thing by November 19

Just watched the VT vs Tenn game. VT's OFFENSE looks really good. Big physical QB with big physical WR's and a good OL. Their D front seven weren't particularly stout but their DB's were decent as per usual for VT. They should be a challenge. Tenn hung up a lot of points and I expect we will also.

I have 4 tickets for this game. I wont be able to make it because of work complications. Anyone interested please PM me.

After this past Saturday, any expectations of glimmers of hope and redemption are out the door. I'm seeing an embarrassing Saturday on Nov 19th for the Irish (...another one).

ND incredibly tends to play close to good teams and completely crap the bed vs subpar teams. See last years Clemson, previous FSU.

I think they will play a decent game but still lose by 10.

Which of course will get praise by Jack despite the fact that VT isnt within a mile of ND recruiting wise.

Either everyone at ND athletics are so completely clueless or they just are wearing their poker face until the season ends.

Can only hope for option 2

This past week's Sagarin Predictor would have made VT a 7.5 favorite in South Bend. After their loss and ND's win, his Predictor should tighten up a bit on that spread for next week.

 

[BGIF]

Sagarin's new ratings are out. VT is about a 1.5 favorite.

Last week VT was 7.5 fav in South Bend. Their loss to GT and our win over Army narrow the gap.

Vegasinsider opened ND at -1.

I think if Kizer could get his accuracy in check this offense could be a lot more dynamic and consistent. That will be key to winning these next two games. He'll have a good drive passing then the next drive over/under throw a wide open receiver in the flat. Or overnthrow the deep ball.

He is more than capable. Not sure if it's mental or still learning his mechanics. But he is the key to the success the rest of the season.

Yep, and if my aunt had balls...

Kelly wants to get defense more work against offense more than normal in practice. Trying to get used to “regular” offense.

Kelly says he is crying right now because Will Fuller and Jaylon Smith didn’t have a senior day.

Kelly says it’s up to Daniel Cage on where they go. Progression based on how he feels.
