Miami (of 2001) talks about playing Virginia Tech

Interesting reading from the perspective of the Miami players when playing Virginia Tech. I remember watching that game, felt like a punch in the gut at the end. Some quotes:

Sikes: Virginia Tech is a tough breed. They're all of the step kids. Most of them are the kids nobody wanted. They didn't get to go to the big high school, they didn't get to go to the big college. So you put them all together...

Portis: You've got to put V-Tech away. From my experience against Virginia Tech you can't let them stick around, and expect them not to make a play. They did.

Rumph: Special teams wise, they were a team we knew we had to keep an eye on. They took a lot of pride in special teams.

Sikes: Back then, 'Beamer Ball,' that's what they were known for. You had to account for all three phases with them.

Soldinger: We wound up getting a punt blocked.

Tweedy can run like a dadgum antelope or whatever. I like to use scalded dog. Do antelopes lumber? Cheetah, OK. He runs like a cheetah. He's fast. - Bud Foster
