he thinks they have an advantage over Debord. I haven't watched a lot of Vtech but from what I've heard about Bud Foster, I'd probably agree.
"On a similar note, college coaches often keep their long-term plans for the season close to the vest against a weak early-season opponent. Did the Vols and Hokies hold back? That looked like the case for both squads. They'll each have the chance to surprise the opposition, and the responsibility to execute something they didn't practice in live fire last week. Whose surprise is more of a game-changer (as someone who covered Michigan for a decade, my money is on "not Mike DeBord," given the former Wolverine and current Vol offensive coordinator's reputation for being unimaginative) can be meaningful."
