Hammertime! Connor Davies, a Outside Linebackers Perspective

I feel really disrespected by the fact that we beat the #1 team in the nation, and we only moved up two spots. That weighed on our minds deeply as we prepared to take on the Orange.

I also got the biggest honor I've ever received, being named defensive captain. It meant a lot to me knowing my teammates look up to me, and look to me for leadership. I know I can provide it to the younger guys.

Syracuse is a perennial doormat, and we treated them as such. We blitzed, we caused havoc, and we made them earn every yard. Despite a few lapses, we dominated play from start to finish.

Second big game in a row for me. I feel at home this season, and like the defense is funneling people to me. I love Blacksburg right now, and I hope we can keep winning.

Sorry about how late this is coming out. I know I usually post them early in the day the day after games, but I was busy moving into my new apartment. Lots of "free money" lying around here.

We led 24-10 going to the fourth, and then the fumbilitis took over on the offensive side of the ball. They turned it over two times inside our own thirty, and North Carolina took advantage, punching it in both times, and eventually taking the 31-24 win.

I played well again, but it hurt to have such a big lead and then lose it. We're going to get killed in practice this week, I know it.

I love going to Annapolis, and have always gone there to see college games. So I've been in the stadium before, but it felt so different to actually be down on the field, playing in a game for the first time.

I love to eat up on option teams, they have so many tells it's almost impossible for them to run on us, and they didn't. Navy managed just 84 yards of offense, and 6 yards rushing on 27 carries. How insane is that. The game just felt great, and I really hope we can get back on a roll.

37 tackles in the last three games, I've really started to hit my stride as a leader of the defense. Ever since I was named captain I just feel that I'm playing with so much more confidence.

We were pumped for Oregon State to come in, but I wish they would have stayed out there in Oregon. We took a good early lead, but our offense really struggled in the later part of the game, and that's what killed us.

We forced a lot of turnovers, including a pick by yours truely, but it just wasn't enough to overcome some very sloppy play on offense. Story of my life here in Blacksburg. Oh well, I won't be here much longer anyway.

I'm hot, I'm on fire, but I wish our damn offense could get something going instead of playing with their thumbs up their asses.
