The Hunt for Blue October

Hello everybody! Hope everyone enjoyed the stressful and joyous Win over Georgia Tech!
As we slip into the month of October, with a 4-1 record, our 3 home game stretch is giving us the blues. and by that I mean shades of blueL: Carolina Blue, Navy Blue, and Royal Blue. We are Hunting for a VERY ATTAINABLE 3-0 record this month, but let's not count our eggs before they hatch. we did that last year against Pitt. So I'd just like to take a moment, discuss each game, covering as much as I can from Uniforms, to what scares me (as it should any Hokie Fan). So enjoy, leave comments if you want, love to hear it.

NORTH CAROLINA

Homecoming/Maroon Effect
Time: October 5, 2013
12:30 p.m. (yea i know it sucks blah blah blah)

Possible Uniforms: Perfect Time for Tech to Pull Out #AllMaroonEverything. Hell, we have maroon pants, jerseys, and helmets. Why the hell not? but we might do something stupid like orange helmet, or white jerseys, or rainbow colors, idk. just please no Hokie Bird Helmets!!!

What looks good for us:Their defense ranks #93 in the nation giving up 32.5 points again. A blowout by ECU makes their defense look on the week side. Our defense is solid. I'm looking for our D to give up 1 maybe 2 touchdowns against the air attack. after seeing Bonner get burned a few times last week, he needs to correct it to take on Renner.

What scares me: Their DEFENSE Ranks #93 in the nation! after a blow out loss to EAST CAROLINA, they will be fed bullets for breakfast, and gasoline for dinner. they will be raring to go.

The Short: After They play us, they are on a short week, playing Miami on a Thursday Night in Chapel Hill. Rough 6 days! I look for it to be another GT defensive game. Bud shows up, forces One TO too many for UNC to overcome, One score game. I would love for our O to prove me wrong.

PITTSBURGH
Time: October 12, 2013
TBD (I'm gonna guess 3:30)

Uniform Possibility: it's Home, keep it classic, Maroon Helmet, Maroon Jersey, white pants. Or keep it lucky #AllMaroon Everything.

What looks good for us: Tough One hear. Their Defense. They went to Duke and Surrendered 55 points to the devils. Yes 55 to DUKE in FOOTBALL. Hopefully Scotty Boy will have L. Tank #3 rolling with the O.

What Scares me: Their Offense. Yea we have a good D, but Savage can be, well Savage. 6 td in one game on the Road. pretty impressive. The've scored more on Duke at Duke, than we have in two trips there (09, 2011).

The Short: Pitt has an Off Week to prepare for the Bud D. After that, they play ODU. So they will only focus on us We Score at least 4 TD's (O, ST, and D combine) we hold them to just enough to win. I'm seeing a 28-24 close one.

DUKE
ORANGE EFFECT
time: October 26, 2013
TBD (Probably Noon)

Uniform Possibility:Orange Jerseys: Maroon Helmets, White Pants, A god awful site. Let's wear Orange Helmets, and Orange Jerseys. Or All Maroon it Up.

What Looks Good for Us: Anthony Boone is Out with a Broken Collar Bone, Don't be surprise if he comes back to face us for this game. a Very Cato-like player (Marshall) but after missing such a long amount of time, Conette might get the nod. Plus it's Duke

What Scares Me: It's DUKE. We always play like $&*T against Duke. Last Blowout we had against them...2010 we won 44-7. Don't say last year, we had to come from Behind to be Duke. DUKE!!!

The Short: Coming off games to Navy, and UVA, Duke will still be celebrating after a Win over UVA. Duke has had some tough games .Troy, Pitt, and Memphis. Duke will hang in with us, as they always do. I'm seeing 21-7 Game.

I'm writing about these Cautiously, We cannot Afford to Overlook ANY Opponent. I don't care who they are. VT should Focus on North Carolina for now. Then after the game, Focus on Pitt, then take the Off we and get ready for Duke. We aren't playing for a Bowl anymore, we are playing for the ACC. live long and GO HOKIES!!!

Love
Hokie Joker
