As Virginia Tech readies for its spring game, head coach Brent Pry He has offered some intriguing remarks. He clarified his squad's strategy for the upcoming seasonal match, which he plans to organize as usual this year even though other teams are changing their approaches.
Pry dissected how things would unfold. To sum up: largely business as usual.
Yeah, it will be quite alike to last year," Pry stated. "In the first part, I aim to make things resemble an actual game as closely as possible because I believe this offers great experience for everyone involved. For the latter portion, we'll focus more on accomplishing necessary tasks efficiently and safely without picking up injuries. We'll have to wait and see how everything unfolds.
There is one factor still that could impact the spring game plans. Injuries.
It seems Virginia Tech is teetering on the edge, with just a few additional injuries potentially disrupting their strategies significantly. There have indeed been some setbacks recently.
We encountered a small injury earlier today. We'll have to assess whether this specific player will be able to participate in the upcoming match," Pry stated. "This might require us to make some adjustments depending on who is ready to go. A few players remain uncertain as to their availability, which could impact the number of plays each one gets. Nonetheless, we're planning for an effective practice session tomorrow. Since we'll be suited up with shoulder and thigh pads and working throughout the entire day, our priority remains ensuring everyone comes through unscathed and then evaluating our team composition first thing Friday.
Regarding the idea of completely changing the spring game due to worries about tampering, Pry largely dismissed this as a significant issue. Besides, Virginia Tech’s game will not be broadcast on television.
I believe there's no need for changes," Pry stated. "One key factor is that it isn't broadcasted on television. Will someone log into the portal to check? Or will we watch their spring game if it were televised? Yes, we'd likely sneak a glance to assess their performance. We chose not to appear on TV. However, we can't regulate who might be watching from the bleachers. Still, we'll maintain our usual low-key approach.
It doesn't mean the spring game lacks importance. Pry remains eager to achieve numerous goals during the course of the day.
He clarified what he wants. In short: Virginia Tech will proceed as usual regarding the game.
“It’s about seeing kids run around, play fast. It’s the last evaluation piece for a significant group of guys,” Pry said. “The guys that are pretty far down the road, they’re not going to play a lot of snaps in this thing. From an injury prevention and just the guys that need to work will get to work.
It's not focused on strategy; instead, it revolves around assessing and improving slightly each time, giving everyone another opportunity to enjoy being at this venue. The excitement for our supporters is immense as they visit town and find an array of activities—softball games, baseball matches, memorial runs, and the spring game—all happening simultaneously. This makes me very enthusiastic because these weekends hold such significant value.
