Rate Opinion: Three VT Defenders Were Illegally Chop Blocked to Make This Article

Original at Bleacher Report external link    Tue, Oct 27

By Charles Anderson Virginia Tech's submission after the Georgia Tech game was considered a standard number of plays to have reviewed. Georgia Tech submitted a few of their own. But until this issue was made public by Frank Beamer, nobody said word one about it.

Rate Opinion: NCAA Week Seven: Bad Advice, Bold Prediction and Something Else

Original at Bleacher Report external link    Fri, Oct 16

By Zachary Osterman Still, Virginia Tech's second visit to Atlanta this season presents each of these teams with an attractive opportunity. If Georgia Tech wins, they insert themselves firmly back into the ACC Coastal—and BCS—picture(s). If Virginia Tech wins, the Hokies all but sew up another trip to the A...

Rate Opinion: Creature V. Creature: Virginia Tech Looks to Dominate Georgia Tech

Original at Bleacher Report external link    Fri, Oct 16

By Justin Cocchiola However, the Hokies have an advantage in almost every category, and even last year’s game can help Virginia Tech. The Hokies beat Georgia Tech 20-17 in Blacksburg last year, but that was with an ineffective offense, no Ryan Williams, and Tyrod Taylor throwing for only 48 yards.

Original at Bleacher Report external link    Thu, Oct 15

By Zachary Osterman That being said, it's going to be tough for the Yellow Jackets to go up by more than one score on the Hokies early in this one.  I would be surprised if the Hokies get down by double digits, and less surprised if they make a ramblin' wreck out of the Georgia Tech defense.

By Wes Goldberg The Knights' defensive front seven play has been outstanding all season and should be able to limit the Hurricane’s potent running game like Virginia Tech did in Miami’s only loss this season.

Rate Opinion: Virginia Football: Analysis of the 2009 Recruiting Class

Original at Bleacher Report external link    Thu, Aug 27

By John Gilmer In the 2004 recruiting class, Virginia was the runner-up for three 4-star receivers, and it still hurts to this day.  (FYI… of the three receivers, Dwayne Jarrett and Eddie Royal had tremendous college careers and are playing in the NFL, while Doug Dutch did nothing at Michigan.)  It’s abo...

Rate Opinion: Is Virginia Tech's Addition a Plus in the Eyes of Casual ACC Fans?

Original at Bleacher Report external link    Mon, Aug 17

By Scott Glesner The Big East would be quite strong with WVU, Miami, VT, BC, and Pitt. However, I'm not sure if BC and Virginia Tech would have had as much success.  Virginia Tech has gained some recruiting power in North Carolina with the ACC affiliation. VT and Miami would not be as strong as they would be on t...

By Yates Boykin But that's not it. He backed up the impersonation by embarrassing the Virginia Tech defense on more than one occasion. He had over 160 yards receiving and three touchdowns, including a 59-yard punt return. Warrick ended up being the MVP of that game.
