The Tunnel

@theclubhouseKB: Newsome says depth an issue. Via is practicing primarily at OT. Ferris playing C and G. Also mentioned Schuman being off to a great start.

@andybitterVT: How many OL would Newsome like to have ready? "You'd like a pair and a spare." That's two OT, two OG, a backup T & G and two C for 8 total

@andybitterVT: Does he have 8 yet? "We're heading in that direction," Newsome said. "This group is very competitive and athletic. Now let's learn the game"

@theclubhouseKB: Joel Caleb also told me he's putting a little pressure on himself to be ready against the Yellow Jackets because of DJ Coles injury #Hokies

@AndyBitterVT: J.C. Coleman on eating more during meals to gain 16 lbs: "My first go around, I'd probably eat 2 or 3 plates, then go back for 2nds or 3rds"

@AJ_HughesVT: Solid day of camp! Happy with my hits #Determined just gotta keep droppin em the way I have been #Consistancy #VTfootball #hokienation

@AndyBitterVT: Some very brief practice observations from Thursday: Coles, Edwards in blue as #Hokies don shells http://goo.gl/iHgtl

***Pro Hokie News -Michael Vick***

@AdamSchefter: Michael Vick injured. Hurt throwing hand on Jason Kelce's helmet. Vick came off field wincing.

@AndyBitterVT : Practice notes: Utility man Michael Via trying to find his place again on the OL after offseason surgery http://goo.gl/51vsk #Hokies

@Bucky757(Bucky Hodges): Good scrimmage getting better everyday !

The potential significance of this development is hard to overstate, especially for next season when we'll have to replace two senior offensive tackles. I really hope Nic continues to improve. He has all the physical traits needed to be an outstanding tackle.

I was thinking the exact same thing. He must have huge legs because from the waist up he certainly doesn't look like someone who'd tip the scales at 260 lbs., even at 6'6".

@RTD_MikeBarber: Tech's Luther Maddy sat out last part of practice. He just tweeted "Everything happens for a reason, this gotta be a sign from God." #Hokies

uh oh
