Do you need a ticket to next week's Virginia Tech–Pittsburgh game? If so, all you need to do is correctly predict how many passing yards ECU will have on Saturday against the Hokies. East Carolina averages 302 passing yards a game in 2015 (T-29th nationally). Virginia Tech has allowed an average of 150.7 passing yards per game (T-19th nationally). Leave your guess (educated or otherwise) in the comments.
Don't forget to follow TKP on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube. Each week throughout the season TKP will give away tickets to Virginia Tech's remaining home games as well as swag from our online store.
The rules are:
- Must be over 18;
- Price is Right rule is in effect, you need to be closest to the Pirates' passing yards without going over;
- Picks are first come, first serve. In other words, there'll be 0 or 1 winners. If you duplicate someone else's existing pick, you lose.
- One entry per person;
- Do not, for any reason, edit your comment/picks. The database stores both a comment created date and last edit date. If those two aren't equal, you're disqualified;
- Picks must be in before 12:00 PM EST on 9/26/15;
- Statistics will be sourced from
cfbstats.comHokieSports.com; - Much like with Powerball, you must claim your prize. If you are the winner, email me joe thekeyplay [dot] com, and I'll verify the claim. I won't consider any claims after 11:59 PM EST on 9/29/15. I will mail the ticket to the winner the next day.

This seems a bit unfair. Especially with that "numbers wiz" tag behind your name. I declare collusion.

(I can't use the Pitt tix, but I need NCSU tix so I can take my 10 year old to his first game. He plays soccer on Saturdays, so a Friday night game is perfect)
Rust is off for Brandon and the Fuller knee is back to normal.... 130 yds on nuttin but short slants. Over/Under on 3 ints? I'll bet over.

I'll take ECU for 203, Trebek.

1 yard.
I can't believe I've the first person to do this.
2 yards.
That's like the actual Price is Right contestants forgetting they're only third and doing the same thing.
(Side note: my post is for comedic intent only and is not an actual attempt to enter the contest. Can't go to the Pitt game, anyway).
Well played, sir.
I can't go either. That's why I didn't try to pull this at the last second like an eBay bid-sniper.

Every yard that we allow them to get.
I fucking win. They got every yard we allowed them to get. And we got our assess kicked.

Yo HokiesFTW, email Joe. Didn't actually think I would win and can't go to the game, so you're the next closest without going over. I already emailed him to tell him. Enjoy!

I don't want the ticket, but this is brilliant. I have season tickets that I have no use for because I'm 2000 miles away except maybe the UNC game, could I get you guys to do this for the rest of the games using my tickets too?

Forecast: Cloudy with showers. High around 70F. Winds ENE at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of rain 70%. Winds could occasionally gust over 40 mph.
I'd normally think 275 in good conditions. With wind and rain, even with mostly short passes and assuming Fuller is 90+%, I'll be a homer and say 224. They'll get some yards but I hope whoever said -7 wins!
