Virginia Tech head coach Frank Beamer is always looking for unconventional ways to improve special teams.  The most recent move was opening the doors to a female kicker.  Freshman Lauren Luttrell, an outstanding multi-sport athlete who played soccer, volleyball, and football for Spotsylvania High School last year, impressed Beamer and company during Monday’s practice.  Her kicking accuracy caught Beamer’s eye, so much so, he invited her back to camp in 2012, saying “I was impressed with her and we’ll bring her...

Virginia Tech’s soft schedule equates to possible title shot

Since entering the ACC in 2004, Virginia Tech dominated the Coastal Division winning the conference an unprecedented four times.  Unfortunately, for head coach Frank Beamer and company, conference success did not translate to much beyond one failed title shot in 1998 (Virginia Tech was a member of the Big East at the time) and a disappointing 1-4 BCS bowl record. In recent years, Beamer attempted to change the team’s persona by scheduling top non-conference games in hopes of strengthening...

Virginia Tech needs new donors

Since Frank Beamer took over the reins at Virginia Tech, he has brought nothing but success to the program. Regardless of whoever Tech hosted at Lane Stadium, fans came out in troves to see Beamer Ball. However, with the economy, lack of impressive wins, and no national championship, the donor base is apparently receding. This is most evident in season tickets sales. Donors are always first in line when it comes to season tickets, but for the 2011 season,...

Boise State and Georgia to meet in Atlanta next season

Next year’s Chick-fil-A kickoff game will feature Boise State and Georgia. The two teams agreed terms to play in Atlanta on September 3, 2011. The game will be Boise’s second season-opener that the team will play on the road. Boise faced Virgina Tech earlier this season at Landover, MD’s, FedEx Field. Boise was originally scheduled to travel to Oxford, MS, to play the Ole Miss Rebels, but dropped them from the schedule for Georgia. The two schools rescheduled their meeting for the...

Mono, not UNC, sidelines VaTech’s David Wilson

Virginia Tech will be without one of their offensive playmakers this Saturday as sophomore tailback and return man David Wilson is a scratch for the upcoming game against North Carolina. According to athletic trainer Mike Goforth, Wilson was experiencing virus like symptoms all week which was ultimately diagnosed as Mononucleosis. This is a huge blow for the rebounding Hokies in a key Coastal match-up against the Tar Heels. The resurging Hokies will certainly miss Wilson’s 28.6 yards/kick-off return average...

Hokies win is a loss for WR Roberts

Virginia Tech won a crucial ACC game Thursday night against Georgia Tech 28-21, but lost a big part of their offense and special teams. WR/KR Dyrell Roberts will miss the remainder of the season after suffering, what was initially thought to me minor, a bruised left leg during the first quarter of the game. Roberts tried to return to the field, but did not see any action in the second half. After the victory, Roberts developed excruciating pain in...

The Impending Battle Out West

Although the season is still young, a potential game of epic proportion is looming out west. Reno, Nevada, could possibly be the site of college football’s most anticipated game of the year this November 26th when the Boise State Broncos come to town to take on the Nevada Wolf Pack. Tickets will be scarce as national title implications will more than likely be on the line when the two teams meet on the gridiron. College football analysts and followers...

Boise State’s DJ Harper is out for the season

It’s official. Boise State’s RB D.J. Harper tore his ACL and is out for the season. Harper injured his left knee for the second straight season during Saturday’s win over Oregon State. The injury occurred when he was making a cut on the field. When he went down, Harper quickly grabbed his knee and was taken to the sideline. After some stretching, he returned to the game finishing with 3 carries for 21 yards despite a ligament tear. This is a big...
