Inspired by Bruce Smiff 82's comment on the Tyler Boyd Receiving Yards forum topic, I thought I would create a similar contest for a few stats more likely to be favorable for a Hokie victory. Same rules as the Straight Up topic, except the prize is different.
For this, the prize is "the satisfaction of having done it," a reward I've told my kids many times. If that doesn't grab you, how about this: one week free meals, lodging, ground transportation & guided tour of a West African capital city(Dakar, Senegal to be exact).
[fine print: you have to buy your own airline ticket]
[more fine print: must bring me at least one TKP Hokie T-shirt, size XXXL please]
OK, for the few of you still reading, here are the stats to pick:
1. Tackles for loss
2. Turnovers created
3. # of amazingly awesome plays by Sam Rogers*(not a defensive stat, I know, but the conditions seem favorable for a breakout game for him)
* I will defer to a member of the TKP staff for determining this number.
OK, let the prognostication begin!

Should your numbers be correct, in the event of a tie, your picture of the lunch pail will earn you the prize.
Remember the Pitt game in 2013 when literally every other offensive play for Pitt was either a sack or a TFL? Fun game.
As for this game...
