LOL @ BCvMizzou

Vandy (I'll go out on a limb and say they're gonna win out right. Almost certainly wrong, but you better believe there'll be an 'I told you so' if they pull it off...)
Tejas Tech (Not a lot of faith in OU, though TT does seem ripe for a loss... I'll stick with TT given the spread)
UCLA (Seems like a HUGE spread for a pretty decent UCLA team. I'll take them to cover)
Mizzou (Rooting for more SEC misery here (even though it won't be an upset, have to think the faithful will see it that way))
PSU (Emotion pick. Dislike Urban and THE university, and the spread seems a little high. GO PSU)
Stanford (Spread being so low must be a reflection of location. Feel like Stanford handles them more comfortably than by a single field goal)

Mayonaise? I always thought these guys were concerned with frozen concentrated orange juice!

It was the Dukes!

I see what you did there.

If 3 teams could somehow play in one single game I would make
LSU vs Auburn vs Clemson appear in the

"Winner Keeps the Tiger Mascot" bowl

Commodores
Sooners
Ducks
Cocks
Nittany Lions
Trees

I like competitions between the DE/DL and the CBs. 8 sacks = no INTs...does no sacks = 8 INTs? What about we split the difference - 4 sacks, 4 INTs?

I would love it to be like Madden 2005 that I played with a friend in college. I played Safety, he played DE. It was a sack or a pick EVERY TIME the QB went back to pass. Our D is already off the charts, but what if that happened irl?

"Duke was forced to keep the ball on the ground after VT either sacked the QB or intercepted the ball on every down through the first half."

Seeing the numerical confirmation of the eye test that we apply to our defense is very satisfying indeed! The thought comes to mind of the NFL teams with statistically dominant "best defense ever" type teams....85 Bears...2000 Ravens...73 Dolphins...76 Steelers...I could go on. The big pattern there is that every one of these teams won a Super Bowl. Championship type defenses, all. Lets hope this portends greatness for the Hokies.

We may not turn a corner, but it would be nice if the run game had some success to give our guys some rhythm. I feel like one good game could be a confidence booster that may lead to more consistency in following blocks, hitting holes, etc. Right now we have problems with the O-line and the backs, but if one can start playing a bit more confidently, then the run game as a whole will improve. Not drastically, but anything would be good.

Unless it's SUPER successful...like 350 yards on the ground successful...then it could mean at least they're learning.
