The crew is back with part two of the Hokies Dream team. This time your boys are focused on the unit that put Hokies football on the map: DEFENSE. Special guest Coach Robbie Compton joins us to help layout the best of the best when it comes to Hokies defensive players.
This week BCP is bringing you their first ever Dream Team. In part 1 we are focusing on offense. We're picking one quarterback, two tight ends, seven offensive linemen, five wide receivers, and three running backs to represent the best Virginia Tech offense imaginable. You think we're wrong? Let us know in the comments.
The Hokies have been extremely active in the portal, both in the Winter window and most recently in the Spring window. Our guest Kolby Crawford makes his Boundary Corner Podcast debut as he helps us breakdown the impact of the portal on this Hokies roster and who amongst the recent adds will have the biggest impact for the Hokies this fall.
The Hokies Spring Game was a cold and poorly attended exhibition. Now that we've had some time to digest what we saw live and in a tape delayed fashion let's talk about it. We break down what we learned on the scheme and position battle front and what sort of help this roster still needs before fall camp. We also touch on the Nico Iamaleava situation and talk about a plethora of Hokies that are looking to hear their name called at the NFL Draft.
Spring is in the air and a large contingent of Hokie faithful are set to make the trek to Blacksburg for the annual Orange and Maroon Spring Game. This iteration brings a little more intrigue than previous years as we get our first real look at what the Hokies will look like on both sides of the ball under new coordinators Philip Montgomery and Sam Siefkes. We invite our good buddy Coach Robbie Compton, fresh off his trip to Blacksburg for the Hokies High School Coaches Chalk Talk, to give us his assessment of how these new schemes might fit our personnel.
This week we're taking a dive into where the chips fell with the shuffling of the offensive and defensive staff this off season. We also examine the roster updates for 2025, some of our early takeaways from Spring practice, and put a bow on winter sports.
This week we welcome The Key Play writer and analyst Jonathan French. We look at his initial thoughts and feelings around the Sam Siefkes hire and how he's feeling now after doing a month-long dive into the tape. We also look at where the potential pitfalls may be with a defensive scheme shift at this stage of the Brent Pry era.
The Hokies took much less time turning around their offensive coordinator hire, securing former Auburn Offensive Coordinator and Tulsa Head Coach Philip Montgomery to take over the reins from the departing Tyler Bowen. We diagnose which boxes this hire checks and what we can expect from a Montgomery led offense as Spring practice looms around the corner.
Our long national nightmare is over. After over 7 weeks Hokie Nation breathes a sigh of relief with the announcement of Sam Siefkes as defensive coordinator for the Hokies. We dive deep into the process of the hire, what we know about Sam Siefkes, and what this means for the Hokies defense in 2025 and beyond. We wrap up by giving a blow by blow of the Hokies 2025 schedule.
The Hokies struggled on offense, particularly upfront, against a veteran Minnesota team and ultimately fell 24-10 in the Duke's Mayo Bowl. We recap a game that was at times tough to watch due to the disparity along the offensive line. We also discuss Mike Vick's CFB Hall of Fame selection, the portal victories and what's left to do, and the staff vacancies that frustratingly have lasted a month at this point. We also pick one final Big Screener of the College Football season.
Explicit language warning for a tradition unlike any other....Boundary Corner Podcast's State of the Program. This year we're resetting expectations after a disappointing regular season for the Hokies that sent three coaches packing. We're joined by Dr. Lord Jeremy Counts, Dan Pultz, Chris Lester, and more as we unpack the 2024 season and recalibrate what 2025 could look like if the right buttons are pressed over the coming months. We also consume way more alcohol than you should while streaming live.
Brent Pry and Co. made some tough decisions and decided to move on from DC Chris Marve, OL Coach Ron Crook, and S&C Coach Dwight Galt IV. The losses to the transfer portal and eligibility have run deep and so far the Hokies have done little to stop the bleeding. Retaining both Pop Watson and Kyron Drones was a good start but is it time to panic about the state of this roster and coaching staff? As always we make our Big Screeners picks, CFP First Round edition.
The Hokies bounced back from a rough November with a dominant win against the Cavaliers in the regular season finale. Pop Watson looked poised and the usual suspects of APR and Tuten were elite. The Hokies now await their bowl opponent as we roll into Championship Week. This week's Big Screeners we're picking winners for each Conference Title game.
The Hokies hobbled out of Durham worse than they hobbled in after suffering a 31-28 loss that put another signal caller on the shelf. Pop Watson played as well as could be expected but VT was doomed by leaky OL play and a defense that gave up too many big plays. In a familiar sight for anyone who has watched this team the last decade plus the Hokies must now retain the Commonwealth Cup if they hope to extend their season with a bowl bid. Buckle up...this one could get ugly.
The Hokies come off a bye licking their wounds after suffering back to back losses, including an embarrassing offensive effort against Clemson. We welcome on our friend Ben Byrd at Bull City Coordinators to preview what we can expect the Blue Devils to bring to the table in Durham on Saturday. We then take a look at the College Football Playoff Picture before making our Big Screeners picks of the week.
The Hokies put out another second half dud and the Clemson Tigers rolled out of Lane Stadium with a 24-14 win. We Tell the Truth about a Hokies team licking their wounds heading into their second bye week of the season. We bring on our friend Coach Robert Compton to dive a little deeper into what has turned into a relatively disappointing season for the Hokies.
The Hokies folded late in the JMA Dome against Syracuse to fall to a disappointing 5-4 and now wait to host a Clemson team coming off their own disappointment at home against Louisville. We get to Know the Enemy in the visiting Tigers before we circle back to Tell the Truth about a game that may have been a tipping point for many in Hokie Nation. We wrap as always with our Big Screeners Picks presented by Counts Family Pharmacy.
It wasn't pretty but the Hokies handled the Yellow Jackets on Homecoming and collected it's first winning streak of the year with a 21-6 win at Lane Stadium. We Tell the Truth about a gritty win at home ahead of a trip to the JMA Dome in Syracuse. We wrap as always with our Big Screeners picks presented by Counts Family Pharmacy.
It's officially Week Nine of the college football season and the Hokies are riding high after a huge primetime victory on Thursday night over Boston College. We Tell the Truth about a game that the Hokies dominated for all but a disastrous 5 minute stretch in the third quarter. We then turn our attention to Georgia Tech as we get to Know the Enemy featuring our friends over at WreckTalk. We wrap as always with our Big Screener picks.
We're back from the Bye Week to kickoff a fantastic Week Eight matchup for the Hokies. First off a big giveaway announcement to win a piece of Hokies history. Then we get to Know the Enemy with Brett from our friends over at the Eagles Weekly. We wrap up as always with our Big Screeners Picks presented by Counts Family Pharmacy.
