Baker will 100% not be ready....this would look exactly like last year cept we have King and Lash now.
50/50 game.

He reaggravated his hamstring injury on the opening kickoff & was out for the rest of the game.It's been confirmed he is out or you are you basing on the reported severity of it?

The best way to recover from multiple hamstring strains is to stay off it, which means he won't be practicing much if any at all, unless his hamstring heals up by Thursday I don't see how they could play him if they don't want him to re-tear it again vs Miami & further injure him.
Maybe he miraculously heals up this week, but I doubt he'll play.
Not sure how we play any better against them with a lot worse LB play this year. Not adding up for me.
It's been mentioned in other VT threadsMy bad. Could have sworn I posted what I just did above like a half hour ago lol. Weird. But crazy we went 2 pages without mentioning this. He was like 32% of their offense before last week.
Got some film on Hooker now. Should help a little, but he's a good player.
ok but manny still wears a headset during the games and is there on the sideline. lol. he doesn't get locked in solitary confinement when the defense is on the field. and people in this thread are talking about preparation, game planning etc... that's all the duty of the head coach. blake baker is not the autonomous leader of the defense. manny deserves a share of the responsibility/blame regardless of what happens. people want it to be very simple -- it's blake baker's fault when the defense looks bad and then when the defense has 2 good drives it's because manny suddenly took control of the playcalling in secret. it's just not that simple.Baker is not diaz.... respectfully

also ppl who think this defense is anywhere near as bad as d'onofrio need a reality check. your memories should not be that short. the defense is playing softer this year no doubt but the d'onofrio defenses are a completely different story. btw there's no statistical basis for that argument, like at all.
I predict that plus we look clueless until halftime on defense. We never look prepared on D.I suspect they'll come out with the exact same game plan and see if we can stop it.
Lack of focus it’s our greatest weakness, it been imbedded in these kids deep in there gut .Miami turned the ball over on the first 4 possessions of the game last year, including VT starting at the 48, 20 and 25....5 turnovers total.
Not sure last year is the best measuring stick
LCE - Where did you hear/read that Herbert was out? He took himself out of the Liberty game after the first play because of a sore hamstring. It was bothering him entering the game. He tried to give it a go but to no avail.Their absolute best player Khalil Herbert will be out for the game & their Defense is equally as atrocious as ours.
I think we'll win in a high scoring game, we'll give up a bunch of yards, but will be able to respond score for score.
It'll look like the Louisville game IMO.
Last I checked, hasn't that been the case in pretty much every sport since the beginning in order to win?
