# | Fresh Off Facing UNC's Spread, Syracuse Presents Another Test for Virginia Tech's Pass Defense What the actual fuck.
The only game that matters is the next one.
Depends on what you mean by thin. We've done a great job of restoring the receiver corps. We have 15 WRs on roster and 4 verbals for this cycle, plus Drake Deiuliis, who will be a tight end the way Bucky is a tight end.
I'd argue we aren't thin at receiver, we're young at receiver. In an ideal world, Bucky and Ford come back to make a run in 2017, allowing us to develop the underclassmen another season, but I think that's a pipe dream.
Part of that is the skill position talent Fuente inherited. Lefty never got his scheme to work in anything more than fits and spurts, but one thing he was successful at was restocking the cupboards compared to what he inherited. Fuente has some legitimate all-ACC talent to work with during the installation of hit system.
And I would be really, really happy if I had an undefeated conference record to celebrate that didn't happen in the same year we shit the bed against JMU.
If he has us favored over Miami, why does he have Miami ranked above us?

# | Justin Fuente's Post-Game Speech Following Virginia Tech's 34-3 Thumping of North Carolina I honestly expect that announcement any time now.
This.
I spent the better part of the entire 2000s analyzing every possible scenario for us to get back to the BCS championship game. Team X loses to team Y but comes back to beat team Z, etc etc. I was spending so much time running through hypotheticals that I forgot the most important part of fandom: enjoy every minute. So now, it's one game at a time for me. The only thing I'm thinking about is watching 3+ hours of football next Saturday starting at 345 pm Eastern.
Thank God. He looked completely paralyzed on the field. I kept hoping for a thumbs up or even a finger twitch as they rolled him out.
In the second half. Versus our third string. To pull within 40.

This same argument was used against us in '99.
"Who have they beaten?"
Everyone. By 30+.
Keep dismantling our competition, eventually they can't deny us anymore.
Yeah, it was the next column. Got cut off when I did the screencap.
Nah. More like this:
You bet your sweet ass it is. And we now have a whole generation of Hokies who have no clue what kind of house of horrors the Carrier Dome can be.
In its own way, this game will be the biggest test of Fuente's career thus far.
More points against VT in ACC play than fans at the LOLUVA spring football sugar cookie extravaganza.
Except, we are in the driver's seat.
I did that once.
My wife nearly killed me.
UNC/Miami is going to be a contest between two very pissed off teams.
If you don't go high, it doesn't get called. It really is as simple as that.
What was the diagnosis for the kid who got taken off on a back board? That looked awful.
I keep looking at the stats and thinking how the hell did we score 34. Then I remember, it's because this guy still works for us:
Last I heard, Fullwood was playing a little stiff.
