Original at Bleacher Report
• 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.

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

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.

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.

Opinion: Is Virginia Tech's Addition a Plus in the Eyes of Casual ACC Fans?
Original at Bleacher Report

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...
