Virginia Tech football: Offensive line among highest-graded in college football
Many questions surrounded Virginia Tech’s offensive line heading into this season. The two-deep was largely filled with players who’d been in the program for the past couple of seasons and were a part of a unit that wasn’t a team strength.

Virginia Tech Hokies vs. Maryland Terrapins: News Items and Predictions
It’s the first road game of the year, and it’s against the Terps. Their QB Malik Washington has made mincemeat of two programs that parallel Techs two opening opponents.

Saturday’s game will be […]
Virginia Tech Hokies vs. VMI Keydets: What Worked, What Didn’t, and Dun Busted
With a 73-3 win there wasn’t much that most folks could say was looking permanently broken (busted), and there isn’t a lot negative to say, but we need to go over some things since this was a classic overmatch and there’s no doubt the coaches will be pushing fixes. Note: This summary used to be […]
