Took a couple weeks to get the uncommitted and self-focused gone
I think a big part of the problem is that Pry had lost the team last year, and there were a lot of players only out there for themselves. When you're not all in for the team, you get what you saw on the field. What I saw last night was a far better organized team, players on defense actually playing their responsibilities (who the heck is this Christian Ellis kid that was a major impact?). The team last night looked like a bunch of guys who were playing for each other and had some belief in themselves, each other, and their coaches. The true team leaders seem to have emerged as well. Honestly, last night was all I wanted to see out of this team the rest of this season. They played with intensity, and had they lost at the end, I could have lived with the effort.

Terion Stewart was healthy enough to get more than a couple carries**

Resist tuning out... all the hard losses make the wins much more sweet

Understood, but for me it's all of CFB, not VT

Gotcha - tuning out due to NIL instead of ineptitude is understandable...

Clearly Pry and the quitters were the wrong people
