VT player likes to be "shoelace" and some Beamer fluff
I was looking to see if there was a press release about VT's practices, but the only decent article I could find was this one.

I kind of liked this quote from one of their DB's (as you can tell by my thread title).
"He's very explosive," Hokies safety Eddie Whitley said. "I even play with him on the video game. He's a dynamic player."

as Denard too.

Wait; what video game? Does he mean QB #16? THAT'S DENARD!?!?!?! This whole time I believed EA Sports when they told me it was random...
December 13th, 2011 at 10:33 PM ^
And to think, I thought our QBs last name was Jackson, hmmm I thought randomly generated meant it would randomly give me the names if I was lucky.
Damn, then I guess I LOVE PLAYING AS #16! He reminds me of Denard thats for sure!

.....for video games also feed my Denard obsession.
Never mind that my wife says 33 is a good age to finally become an adult...I've got 3rd and 2, damnit.

AKA he likes playing as Gardner after Denard gets hit once outside the pocket in NCAA '12.

Denard has missed a few plays here and there when "dinged". Exactly how many starts has the guy missed due to injury?
Psst... it's zero.

While you are correct in terms of real life, EA Sports disagrees with you as I've had the same problem as BlueBarron. If I run with Denard more than a couple of times a game, it's inevitable he gets knocked out for a few plays, if not the whole game.
December 13th, 2011 at 11:22 PM ^
I had to change injury to 99, ohh and add dreads that DENARD did NOT have.
December 14th, 2011 at 3:09 AM ^
Oh yeah, you just have to do that. I did too. I made fitz a little speedier as well. Just being realistic.

OH HAI M V PENNSTATE IN 2013:
Actual scenario from my third season of my dynasty:
first quarter: Gardner: out for game, Wilkins (best DE and super stud by then) out for game, Jeremy Jackson (90 OVR stud WR) out for game, Jake Ryan (Impact LB) out for game, Fitz Toussaint out for game. Translation: top 5 rated non-special teamers out for the game in the first quarter.
ALL. THE. RAEG.

I've done this in my game and he still finds a way to get injured in every game I've ever played with him as the QB, I don't get it.

If Denard can keep on improving in the offseason as he did towards the end of the year he should be the Heisman favorite next year. Even with the loss of Molk our OL should improve (minus depth) because of experience and we will be getting Stonum back for Denard to stretch the field with if he improves his deep ball.

The best is playing NCAA 10 and pulling Tate out to put Denard in

Steps to online confusory:
1. Put Denard as your 5th WR (while still starting at QB of course)
2. Run a play from the 5 WR set with the backup QB package (Denard will be in the slot, Gardner QBing)
3. Run the hurry up after that play, choose Normal Shutgun, and run the option with Denard and Devin together in the backfield.
4. Profit
