Oklahoma's D, Denard Robinson, and Geno Smith all padded their stats after their games were well in hand, while LT3 was busy willing his team to victory. Also, Denard threw more interceptions than LT3 threw incompletions.

my vote is up, but doesn't look so good for LT3 in this one. I was really disappointed with the Sportscenter recap of the game, they really didn't capture the awesomeness...

Doesn't hate the Hokies, just doesn't have a good enough reason to be obsessed with them (no title shots in recent years, no heisman candidates, no major wins on nat tv, not in SEC, not involved with major violations)...
Still, I agree. The drive he put together to comeback and win... On 4th down!!!!! Totally undervalued. Had an SEC team done this, it would be considered the play of the year. Just sayin

Wakemeup707- I respectfully agree and disagree with you for one reason. Though I don't believe ESPN has any interest in individual institutions (minus SEC or ND- NBC deal>probably don't like them minus Alumni) I do think that Dinich on the ESPN ACC Blog does not "like" Virginia Tech. To her, if we lose its expected and if we win, we either got lucky, had the refs calling everything our way, other team under-prepared or we merely capitalized on a big play/turnover by the opponent. Example A: Miami in '09/'11- both times she claimed thug U absolutely dominated us but we benefited from mother nature and/or Miami miscues. According to her we've only 'won' ten to twelve ACC games since 2004 and we're in the third tier in the Conference. Example B: Forget the four (and possibly five) ACC titles in eight years (HD's reasoning)- Berlin gave the game away ('04), Ryan choked in the 4th Quarter ('07 ACCCG), BC's defense didn't show up in the second half ('08 ACCCG), and Tyrod took the game over ('10 ACCCG). The only 'real' ACC Championship Game was in 2005 when the lowly #4 Hokies were "thrashed" by the greatness of the #25 Seminoles...though even that title is being investigated (as of last year). Nowhere does she mention VT's D forced Brock and Matty Ice into terrible decisions by bringing heat (and opportunistic offense) and in 2008 Tyrod making BC's linebackers and safeties look silly along with Evans gashing them repeatedly in the second half. That being said other programs like Free Shoes U and Thug U have made bigger splashes in recruiting, off-field issues and have won natty's- at times they deserve more attention (not necessairly in a good way).
Sorry about lengthy post: I don't like ranting but, as many non U, FSU, GT, or UNC fans will tell you she is the epitome of biased journalism at times though she went to Indiana and, on the surface, doesn't have a horse in these races. Will give her this though- minus VT and her teams she does usually give accurate predictions and is a gifted/talented writer, though seemingly biased.

Hehe, thanks ^_^
LT3 absolutely should win, but won't

They Should have added
That LT went 23/25 including running for the game winning score.... Because just by looking at the stats, it seems like he was outdone.
Agree. Anyone who doesn't follow Hokie football has no idea exactly what he did last night.
Voted

ESPN hates the Hokies. It's a true story. And they didn't capture the clutch performance by Logan whatsoever.
