french60wasp.....are you a coach somewhere? You obviously have some background....would love to hear it. Your analysis is incredibly detailed.....haven't seen that kind of breakdown since I played in h.s.....(not totally sure I saw it there either) Thanks for enlightening everyone!

Dunno where she's dragging you this weekend, but this is much more convenient and will be a much better crafts fair Nov. 18-20 (I've been, its awesome) - http://www.sugarloafcrafts.com/festivals/gaith/november/
WVU
ASU
Arky
Oregon - may back their way into the MNC
Ok State
LSU - road team usually wins plus better QB
BOTW is none, craft fair on Saturday, yay for relationships
Wait, really???? Shit.
UL - WVU will likely win but not by 14 points. Noon kick also means no one will be there/drunk. Ul is used to a dead crowd so that will even the field for them.
ASU - eh.
Arkansas - South Carolina just isn't.....good.
Oregon - I am picking oregon for the rest of the season.
Okie State - last week proved that k state was/is overrated. Downfall continues in stillwater against a much better team than OU (yeah i said it).
LSU - all of the media attention is geared toward bama and Nick "BearBryant2" Saban which has to be getting to at least saban's head. Because of this, I see LSU not only winning, but winning by a lot. Also, Les Miles is a goddamned genius and Nick Saban is just arrogant. I don't like Nick Saban. Bring back Mike Shula!
That abused Alcohol for the other 99%. It skews the numbers. Obviously Im drunk when I pick each week as well.
LulVille-- If not for points alone we saw how underwhelming WVU can be by That 'Cuse beatdown
Sun Devils-- Derp. Tall guy throwing to small guy FTW.
Pig Suey-- Both teams are ranked too high. However, Ill take the cover with USCe Offense being depleted.
Oregon-- I dont curr if Thomas and James are banged up. They have 4* back ups backing up the back ups.
Okie St-- I knew the wheels would come off K-States season down the stretch. this'll be a rout.
LShoe-- Honey Badger dont care.
BotW: Hell or High Watermelon. Not amazing but as eccentric as Les Miles.

Did anybody listen to EITM this morning? Apparently 57% of VT students "abuse" alcohol and the university is shocked and is going to implement programs to get that number down. All the callers thought the number would be much higher. I miss college.
Miller Lites all around and GO HOKIES!
How many teams in the Open on Sunday?
This site is awesome....I agree, I love the 83 uni's.
word.
wish i could put down a bfast like that.
I love the 83 VA TECH uni's. Can we wear those?
I'm not scared of anything ugly that the team actually wears.
No chance it tops the Terps.
I can always agree with that!
a few sec games and at least 1 nd game.
But you only picked 5. Cant go 1-5 that way!

Are you really picking k State? not me.

biggest loser Boise St. Wahhhhhhhhh!
Beer of week, One of my favorite non US Brewers - Brew Dogs Rip Tide. Its smokey, black and strong and goes faster than an SEC d Lineman. As my 7 year old daughter says, "Beer, Bacon, and Chocolate . .. my three favorite foods." Preach girl Preach!
Would that be different than our nickel defense? Other than what you call the position K Fuller is playing?
Another GT fan here; I came across your blog last year as well and remember making a mental note to bookmark and keep up with it. Hopefully I will this time, always enjoy good, solid analysis of ACC teams.
One note with an early part: "For the most part, GT's "big plays" come from fullback traps that quickly gash the defense."
That's been true for the last few years with Dwyer and Allen running the ball, but our current B-Backs haven't shown that big-play ability yet. David Sims has 102 carries for 564 years (5.5 avg) - second on the team behind Tevin in both categories - 11 carries for 63 yards/game on average. For comparison, Allen's B-Back season was 18-101, and Dwyer's two were 15-107 and 17-99. Perhaps more telling is that Sims has just the one rush over 40 yards, and only 4 scores overall - the big plays have come from the A-Backs, with Orwin Smith averaging 11.3 and Roddy Jones/Embry Peeples averaging 9.5 apiece. Not that ignoring the dive is safe - as you note, the offense would be very happy running 5 yards a pop up the middle every down - but there haven't been those big breakthroughs as in past years.
Looking forward to a good game, injury-free. I think we can both agree on a Tech win, although perhaps we differ on the specifics.
Bunch of GT guys on my home forum were reading it, and wanted to give you some props. Your keys to success and/or failure seem about right to us. It's refreshing to see intelligent football analysis from VT folks, instead of cut block whining / etc. This game should be tight, and should decide the winner of the ACC Coastal just like every other year since the division started. They should really rename the division the "Battle of the Techs."
The chess match between PJ and Bud has been interesting to watch over the years. Each game is two or three new moves on the chessboard. Definitely a treat for students of the game.
Good luck and all the best.
