Always a big deal. Holgo rather curiously refers to it a one of the 3 sides of the ball. With all due respect to Hokies' success and emphasis in this area, I also think the football gods have smiled on you guys in the past, and hopefully not so much in the future.

How many times back in the day did a football hit the ground and bounce up into the hands of a Hokie defender already at full stride heading for the goal? As a matter of fact, didn't we muff a punt last time in Motown that bounced right into a Hokie defender's hands? I know much of that is having somebody there to make a play, but the damn thing is an prolate spheroid...AND YOU'D THINK THAT JUST ONCE IT MIGHT NOT ACCOMODATE YOU CRACKERS.
