Who wins?

 

[ckhokie]

You've said VT is going to lose this game in like 2 or 3 different threads already, but have provided no analysis. Why do you see it going that way?

Da Hokies in a BLOWOUT!

GT is usually a very strong team early in the season. After the 1st month, they start to slow down (except 2010). They might not have a strong defense, but they always have a strong offense. It might be that they peak too soon or something. They will play lights out these first few weeks and hit a wall. I expect VT to have a much better and more consistant season.

I think this could be the game to watch this week.

GT is a "strong" team early on because they're playing nobodies. The only decent team they've beaten early since Paul Johnson took over is Clemson in 2009 at home, which is a lot different than starting week 1 in Blacksburg.

Sept results since PJ became GT head coach:

2011: Beat Western Carolina, Mid Tenn State, Kansas, home vs UNC
2010: Beat South Carolina State and UNC. Lost at Kansas (LMAO) and NC state by 17 points.
2009: Beat Jacksonville State, Clemson and UNC at home. Got dominated at Miami.
2008: Beat Jacksonville State, BC, Miss St. Lost at, you guessed it, Virginia Tech.

GT is down several starters due to injury and suspension.

 

[Hokie Swagger]

i think we will win comfortably but i dont think it'll necessarily be a blowout. im thinking a 17 point win

 

[olympicoscar]

Gotta like Va Tech. I think Georgia Tech will start slow because of a lot of injuries and for VT this is not an OOC game, so I think they'll play hard. Game should be close, but VT by 10.

 

[MarkOU]

VT, big.

 

[Golden Spur]

Yellow Jackets 24-17

 

[BadMotoWeazal]

Turkeys.... by 17+

It's funny that you have LMAO to the loss to Kansas, because the week prior Virginia Tech lost to James Madison. JM went 6-5 in FCS. And that game was in Blacksburg.

VT starts so slow it seems. Going with GT close.

Ok... Why are you changin the subject? You said "GT is usually a very strong team early in the season." I needed to show you that they arent. I know VT isnt either.

GT, but really close, although high scoring.

 

[VTscores]

VT by 7 or 10. Beamer doesn't care about running up the score, just getting the win.

 

[UTVolCountry]

I like Virginia Tech in this one...but closer than the experts think! 26-24, Hokies.

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

I think the score will look more lopsided than the game. Hokies by 13-17 because the Jackets are going to have to take chances to try and come back late and may throw a pick 6 or something like that.
