Do you need a ticket to next week's Virginia Tech–Duke game? If so, all you need to do is correctly predict how many rushing yards the Hurricanes will have on Saturday against the Hokies. Miami averages 143.80 rushing yards a game in 2015 (99th nationally). Virginia Tech has allowed an average of 190.67 rushing yards per game (97th nationally). Leave your guess (educated or otherwise) and a sentence or two with your thought process 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 Miami's rushing 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 10/17/15;
- Statistics will be sourced from HokieSports.com;
- Much like with Powerball, you must claim your prize. If you are the winner, email joe thekeyplay [dot] com, and your claim will be verified. Claims submitted after 11:59 PM EST on 10/18/15 will not be verified. Ticket will be mailed to the winner on 10/19/15.

This looks like the winner, I think, tied with another comment. Per Hokiesports.com, their rushing total was 99 yards

Can only be one winner, so the first to get there is the winner.
EDIT: Oh, I guess that's what you meant, so pardon.

As much as we want to stop the run against them (and anyone), I think we will be very concerned with stopping their QB from throwing 400 yards against our young secondary. Miami will get their yards.
72 by some miracle

Wishful thinking maybe?
Miami's rushing offense so far: 195-226-132-146-20
VT's rushing defense so far: 360-136-144-182-166-157
I'm going 127. We will put the game on Kaaya's arm

Welcome to Sacksburg, bitches.
48. Yearby gets more but the Kayak is gonna be taking on water this week. Mos will find his range with Bucky versus those big (read slower) LBs and keep the Big Windbags in a Ketchup mode through the second half.

The teams that have ran the ball well on us have had a mobile QB. Kaya does not run the ball and I think Bud will be able to take advantage of that and make them one dimensional to a similar extent that FSU did.

185. Dammit, doesn't anyone read the By the (Advanced) Numbers?
trouble is, I read your BTAN after I saw this thread. And I always try to get a number out early so I don't run the risk of duplicating....on the off chance I get the actual number right it would be unfortunate if I was the second sucker to pick that number..

142. For no reason.
I will say seeing a negative brings up an interesting question, with price is right rules, is being more negative going over?
