# | Virginia Tech Defense Has Its Day Against Acclaimed North Carolina Offense we should probably add that the UNC game forced the offense to be more limited due to the conditions
I remember watching this real-time and laughing heartily.
Yeah I always look at some of the numbers that other teams have put up vs ours and thought "Huh, ours seem surprisingly low for how good we've looked recently"...then I remember that we've pulled our 1st team out by Q4 in pretty much all but one game in the five we've played so far. Out of Liberty, UT, BC, ECU, and UNC, the only times a majority of our 1st team hasn't been out of the game in the fourth were against UT and UNC, and in the UNC game Motley was on the field for the last 5-6 minutes of the game after Jerod brought in the final TD.
I don't think I've ever seen us pull our starters in 4/5 games because we were winning so much each time...
Dino is an old family name. They changed it way back. Used to be Shithouse.
One of my favorite parts of watching these vids (and watching college football in general) is looking for all the little inside jokes between players, position groups etc. That high-five is damn near perfect.
The D-Block chant is a classic ol' chestnut. We used to chant a version of it during our walk-in in HS. Which was long, LONG ago.
I'm generally okay with funneling them into WVa though

# | Fresh Off Facing UNC's Spread, Syracuse Presents Another Test for Virginia Tech's Pass Defense I'd dearly love for us to shoot it out all over them
Dino made up some elaborate back story about the family meaning of his name to cover up the fact that his Momma was indeed dumb enough to name him Dino.
I think Switzer is going to do unnatural things to the Miami rookie linebackers.
No one cared who Dino Babers was until the hatin' on thread
I agree, they cannot have Highland County. I have too many Hokie friends there, and I can attest to the fact that they would heartily object.
beat me to it
It's an Andy Timmy sammy!
Best. Ever.
And Butts.
The Woody Barron & Vinny Mihota high five at 3:18 is awesome!
I got a strong feeling the Terrordome is going to be back in full force the rest of the way this year. I can't recall a more fun team to cheer for since 2000. Even the mid 2000s teams had that feeling of "don't screw this up" when the offense was on the field. Now? Nah, once we smell blood we go for the kill.

# | Fresh Off Facing UNC's Spread, Syracuse Presents Another Test for Virginia Tech's Pass Defense While I don't want them shooting back, I'd dearly love for us to shoot it out all over them. After all, what's the use of having all those guns if we don't be blasting away. I suspect we'll score early and often, while Bud's D will have them scrambling and wondering where their next first down will be coming from.
Ricky quietly have a good year. Not as sexy as Big Tim not a starter but leading DtS in tfl, pass defenses and qb hurry according to stats at hokie sports. All those guys playing great. Lots of teams would like Ricky and Tim starting
This wins.
Even when Miami loses to UNC they will be still be ranked for the Lane matchup.

A malaise had set in over the whole program. Hard to get players executing when the program was treading water. A lot of new coaches, voices and vision.

# | Virginia Tech Defense Has Its Day Against Acclaimed North Carolina Offense Don't forget that comparison does not take into account only playing 3Q through a few games this year, as well.
This is something missing from stat analysis for other players as well, QB included.
I wish I could give this so many legs.
