What if 2006...

In 2005 The Hokies had one of their best teams they have ever fielded. The Offense led by little Vick with a plethora of outstading skill position players from Cedric Humes to Eddie Royal and everyone in between and a solid offensive line. And the #1 overall defense statistically that was led by legendary backers who need no introduction #9 and#11.

Now we all know what happened in the gator bowl with Marcus and his stomping of Dumerville then his maryjane charges. Then Beamer had enough and booted his criminal ass like he should have.

Now to the topic at hand, what if Marcus Vick had not been a dumb ass and kept himself clean and outta trouble and were able to return for his senior season in 2006?

In my honest opinion I believe Virginia Tech would have won the 2006 National Championship. If you take a look back at that season VT had nearly its entire #1 overall Defense returning from 05 most of all the receivers from 05 and Brandon Ore to replace Humes and Imoe. The only downfall of the team was everyone's favorite QB they love to hate, the man who disgraced the #7 Mr. Glennon. I believe Marcus, Eddie, Vince, and Xavier would have led this team to run the table with Marcus possibly beating out Troy Smith for the Heisman and then thrashing Ohio State like the 2 loss Gators did. And then maybe we hold Marcus closer to our hearts than Mike in that scenario.

What do you guys think?
