For the record, he didn't lay any hits on anybody that I remember, he didn't pick off any passes, and he only returned one punt, and it wasn't memorable. Everyone was so concerned about Michael Vicks' injury that there is very little information available on the extent of Nathaniel's injury. Rumors were circulating on the message board that it was just a sprain, and he should be back in a few weeks at worst. I'm sure we'll get an update on Monday night's Hokie Hotline, so look for that in Tuesday's update of the Hokie Hotline Notes. I was very pleased with what Michael Vick showed us in the brief time he was in the game, but I spent most of the day fretting about injuries and wondering idly why the vaunted Hokies weren't totally demolishing the Dukes by scoring on every single play and not allowing JMU a single first down.
High expectations can indeed be a dangerous thing.
They never gave up, playing hard the whole game and making some nice individual plays. They laid some good hits on the Hokies and didn't act intimidated. Considering that they had a coaching change in March and had to cobble together offensive schemes and defensive schemes and teach them to their players in just five months, I was impressed. The three games are UAB, Rutgers, and Pittsburgh. The first of those three games comes next week against the UAB Blazers.
