VT approaching Fast Captain! 2 degrees starboard


Nov 24, 2019, 12:08 PM

VT is playing lights out "all of a sudden" if you haven't been paying attention! They have won 6 out of their last 7. Honestly, if you watched that game they did lose in South Bend, Indiana you know they could have won that one too!
They have won their last two games in shut outs! The lunch pale defense has been balling out for Old Bud Foster! Someone is thinking - oh it was Pitt and GT. Ah, GT scored twice on us. And Pitt was 6th in the country in passing.

The Hokies are 8-3 and rolling! Time to consider them strongly for our opponent in the ACC championship game. I believe they have beaten UVA 14 or 15 straight times. The winner of the "Commonwealth Cup" will represent the coastal!

I don't see their offense being able to threaten us consistently enough to give us trouble! But, hopefully they come in with their heads on fire ready to compete.

1st things first for us though. Win the Palmetto Bowl!

Who wouldn't be 8-3 with that schedule: ODU, Rhode Island, Furman, coastal opponents.

VT is better than their record and (lack of) ranking

Good news? ACC champ game will be ranked opponent. We will need to bring the orange britches.

Growl - you still have to play the games. I am not overly impressed with Ohio State's record are You? Yet, they won them all.

A team has to play who is in front of them(who is on the schedule).


Big thing - you can't judge a team by early season when new starters may still have "they wide eyes"! Once they settle in you often get a totally different team on your hands.

VT is playing well no matter what anyone thinks of their schedule. It's hard to shut teams out - how many do our Tigers have this season for example?

We have the best DC in the business and how many shut outs?

It would be a mistake from a fan stand point and look at a teams record and expect us to just show up and win. We have seen it in the NFL often when a team "catches fire" and everything just starts clicking. You don't want to have to play that team. Not saying VT is - just saying - they are playing extremely well and UVA will have a hard time beating them.

Then we will have to show up not thinking about any playoffs or we will get beaten; because they are playing with tremendous confidence "Right Now"!

But, before any of that, we must take care of our last regular season game. Hopefully the break didn't cause us to lose any continuity and we can pick up where we left off. Hopefully guys got healthy(healthier) over the break!

Go Tigers!

To me they should be a good facsimile of the Buckeyes - strong D and a running QB that can pass decent. Two score game probably.
