High praise from Mike Farrell:

I'd say B-plus with the two losses (particularly the Syracuse game) downers, but this program has come a long way in just a year.

Ugly on the ground and in protection at times, but plenty of huge plays through the air:

Saw this the other day, and I'm just now realizing I didn't bring it to the board. Duke will be without their leading rusher Saturday (and beyond)...

Going to count the pass interferences (called and uncalled) during the course of the game in addition to the usual personnel breakdowns. Should be an interesting little exercise. Already one that Pitt got away with on the fourth play of the game.

VT 19th. If we had beat Syracuse, I think we'd be in Top 7.

I would like to see 2 ACC teams and 2 SEC teams in the Playoffs.

My father told me, due to I was at the game, ESPN did a small segment on the HOKIES pregame meal. They said they are not allowed to talk at all. The waitresses give them the choices and they raise their hand when that certain meal is called:
Discipline and focus!!

Reads more like an injury report than a stat rundown, unfortunately:

Here's the quick story:

https://virginiatech.rivals.com/news/devon-hunter-has-five-finalists

...and here's a bit more:

Hunter has given Virginia Tech's coaching staff every indication that a strong season would see him end up becoming a member of their program. He plans to take his official visit the same weekend as the majority of the 2017 pledges - rather than during the season, when he wouldn't be able to get as much personalize attention from fellow recruits and the staff. That's right in line with what board insider @dm4vtdu has been saying for some time.

That's not to say he's a done deal (Florida, in particular, has been told some pretty promising things by Hunter and those around him, as well). However, as long as the Hokies had a pretty good season, the plan was always that they'd end with the best shot to land him. Through eight games, there are minimal complaints about the product on the field - in fact, it's exceeded the expectations of most - so VT has set itself up well.

The likes of Alabama, Auburn, and North Carolina aren't just window dressing though, and they certainly don't see themselves that way. They'll do everything they can to try to change his mind before Hunter makes his final choice. It's seemed like Auburn has been running fifth out of this group (despite multiple visits to the Plains), and given that he'd been pretty adamant about visiting either Notre Dame or Michigan, it's a bit of a surprise - though only a small one, since they seemed like even less realistic options - that he didn't leave one or both in the hunt. It's a good thing though, given that it makes it easier for him to justify the official visit to Blacksburg without having to explain himself to media, etc.

The Hokies still feel good about this one, and the composition of that top five does provide a bit more comfort, even if there weren't any surprise eliminations from it as regards the schools that have actually had the best chance to land him.

So we have ourselves a mess!

Virginia Tech is in the driver's seat and if you guys win out you go to the ACCCG. Beating us at home has you well positioned but with little margin for error after the loss @ Syracuse. But anything can happen and no one really has any margin for error. Every team losing at least one more would not be surprising.

Pitt seems to have the toughest road with both Miami & Virginia Tech in the division and having to play Clemson.

Miami still has you guys on a short week and Pitt along with a trip to rollywood to play the wusspack.

Virginia Tech has Miami & Pitt but should be favored in the other three.

Carolina has played the most divisional games and has the tie breaker over both Miami & Pitt but Virginia Tech has the tie breaker over us. Still we should be favored over our last five games and we have The Citadel the week before we end the season with the peckerheads @ home.

Remaining ACC Games for each team:

Virginia Tech - Miami (short week), @ Pitt, @ dook, Georgia Tech, Virginia

Miami - @ Virginia Tech (short week), Pitt, @ UVA, @ n.c. state, dook

Pitt - Virginia Tech (after bye), @ Miami, @ Clemson, dook, Syracuse

Carolina - @ UVA, Georgia Tech, @ dook, n.c. state

Standings Today:

North Carolina 3-1
Virginia Tech 2-1
Pitt 2-1
Virginia 1-1
Miami 1-2
Georgia Tech 1-3
dook 0-3

So how do you see it?

Just a nice win.

Joey Slye and Isaiah Ford reach records, Jerod Evans approaches one, and the defense needs to bounce back:

Great game last night. Any update on the injury to QB Evans??

Apparently their starting RB Hurd has made his intentions to transfer from the school. Might be getting a little "rocky" in Knoxville!!!

Too many people doing too much idiotic stuff out there. Have fun!

One of the most exciting college teams in history comes to C-Ville, and the stadium is 1/2 empty. What a joke.

Celebrating the extension of the Hokies' bowl streak... which came after beating the other program seriously competing for his services.

looks like Miami will be your biggest test...other than maybe Pitt, I see y'all running the table and playing Clemson in the Championship Game...

Who would've guessed you guys would be looking at a possible championship game in Fuentes before year #2....congrats x 10000000000000000000000....
