How confident are my Hokie brethren this evening?

[HawkeyesRuleURFace]

Stack the box, GT gets in frenzy...they might bust an 80 yarder on your ass but that's it...I think VT takes this one to the house

 

[goDAWGSsicem]

GT eats pieces of shit for breakfast.

VT should handle them easily if their D is as good as advertised.

 

[HawkeyesRuleURFace]

Shit!!!! I forgot how bad I am predicting outcomes of football games!!! It's been 9 months, sorry Hokie friends

 

[Taz_Hokie]

I'm not nearly as confident as some of the Hokies here, but I think we should win in a close, low scoring game. Our defense should be excellent this year, but we just have too many questions on offense for me to predict a blow out.

The weather will suck which will help our passing game (contrary to the biggest myth in sports):

Forty_sixand2: As someone who used to play the position, this is one of the biggest misconceptions about football. With a good quarterback and big rceivers, you can absolutely TORCH a defense for two specific reasons:

1. The new gloves are tacky as fuck so grip means nothing anymore. In fact, some gloves become MORE tacky in the rain.

2. The receivers and quarterback KNOW the routes whereas the DBs do not. Get the timing down, run crisp routes and you can crush a defensive backfield in the rain.

Now if it is windy.......all bets are off.

Watch guys like Aaron Rogers and Tom Brady in the rain. It is magical.

Our defense runs 8 deep with guys who have started in the past along the front 4.

We have two r-Srs and a rJr at LB all with multiple games against this defense.

We have a huge quarterback who they can't stop.

Our cornerbacks are huge and can tackle on the edge.

It is slick as fuck so all of the pitching and misdirection of the triple option will lead to turnovers, and the fact it is the first game will just make it worse.

They will score and get a few real big plays (couple TDs, bloated rushing stats (200-250 total yards)) but it won't be too close.

38-17 VT.

-we either block a punt or take one back
-4+ turnovers for the bees
-they get 2 big plays (50 + yards)

The winner of this game has a history of winning the division.

I think like 7 years running now.

Every year, actually, which has been 7.

[Ragingcroc]

Why the fuck am I in Michigan and not in Lane Stadium right now?!?!?!

 

[Taz_Hokie]

LETS GOOOOOO!!!!!

HOKIES!!!!

 

[antone112]

It's been proven that when a team has more that a week to prepare for Paul Johnson they will usually(unless they suck) shut down that offense. VaTech by at least 17.

 

[JohnShadows]

Nice zone-read there by Thomas.

 

[JohnShadows]

Forced a punt - triple option time.

 

[ckhokie]

D's working already. I'm quite confident.

 

[olympicoscar]

I like Tech by double digits. Oops, I mean Virginia Tech.

 

[JohnShadows]

DE stayed at home, there - Thomas should have handed off.

 

[JohnShadows]

Damn, VPI coming right at them.

 

[Camfantasy]

Michael Holmes is no where near as flashy as David Wilson or Ryan Williams, but will be a damn good steady back for us in the future.
