2004 vs #1 USC Opener

2004 was my freshman year and I knew pretty much nothing about Virginia Tech football... or even college football in general. I honestly thought we were playing South Carolina before the game started.

I'd like some insight from from some of the older guys in regards to how this game was perceived to play out and what the general attitude of the fan base was. Were people laughing at us saying we didn't belong in a game with them and were going to get our asses handed to us? What was the line? Did we, as fans, hear positive information from the offseason to know this team was going to better than last year (or even thing we had a chance at going to the Sugar Bowl)?

Just wanted to compare the months leading up to that game vs this one.
