Just to be clear, because some of the posts above seem to have it confused...if we beat Clemson for the ACC Championship, we go to the OB because the OB takes the ACC Champ, unless the ACC champ is in the playoffs.

3-4 seasons? You're selling us short, let's go 10-15 seasons

And yes, I'm putting some cold hard cash on that +650 ML ($3 to be exact)

We really stunk it up those first two ACC games.

5 turnovers will get after ya

Thought this was interesting...the team stats on ESPN

Points Per Game- VT 30.8 UVA 33.2
Points Allowed Per Game- VT 22.3 UVA 22.9

Total Yards - VT 381.4 UVA 381.0
Yards Rushing- VT 172.5 UVA123.6
Yards Passing- VT 208.8 UVA 257.4

Yards Allowed- VT 347.9 UVA 323.2
Rush Yards Allowed- VT 118.1 UVA 118.8
Pass Yards Allowed- VT 229.8 UVA 204.4

Fairly comparable stats...now lets look at the comparison AD:
Points Per Game- 35.4 (+4.6)
Points Allowed Per Game- 18.7 (-3.6)

Total Yards- 391.6 (+10.2)
Yards Rushing- 186.1 (+13.6)
Yards Passing- 205.4 (-24.4)

Yards Allowed- 345.4 (-2.5)
Rush Yards Allowed- 77.6 (-40.5)
Pass Yards Allowed- 267.9 (+38.1)

The yards allowed, and specifically passing yards allowed are skewed from the Miami game outlier where we gave up 563 total yards, 469 of them through the air. If you drop that one, total yards per game AD drops to 309.2 averaged over 6 games and passing yards allowed drops to 234.3

I was surprised to see statistically, just how stifling our rush defense has become.

Had we lost, the blame would have fallen on you.
