Very Big Play
VT(-5) over BC
revenge, revenge and more revenge. VT will finish the drink in this game and look to leave no doubt that BC is not in their league. VT has been playing lights out football lately and it is due to losing to BC and that loss has motivated VT on offense and defense. The holies rotate qbs which is very good considering that will make it extremely tough for BC to gameplan on defense. A defense that needs all the help it can get considering they are banged up and allowed fsu and maryland 27 and 42 points. VT has averaged about 37 points over the last few games....the lowest total is 27, which over those 4 games BC played was the second highest total for the eagles. Looking back on the VT/BC you see VTs front 4 dominated the o-line of BC. You also see Ore played as well as he played last year and that showed VTs o-line was getting the job done. We also see that Glennon and Taylor were both hurting and some what in a battle for starter. The VT defense was in solid deep coverage while lbs played the middle well and held Ryan in check. BC did show the ability to hit the running back out of the back field something VT has to shut down. The VT offense moved the ball but could not score something they have changed over the past 4 games. Beamer has opened up the offense to take advantage of Glennons accuracy and Taylors ability to improvise. This new found offense has allowed the defense to be more aggressive which I thought almost impossible. VT has the edge in special teams becuase royal can make a big play on every return and the front can potentially block all kicks. The poorest thing VT does is field onside kicks and I am not sure they will screw that up. VT wants this game and they want Ryan... the chest bump with the coach of BC is something players are still talking about. every aspect of this game says BC is heading into the buzz saw and over the last few games VT has sharpened the blades. The location is jax which favores VT...it is a grass field and bc plays on turf and in cooler weather while VT should be used to the surface and temp. Plus VT fans travel well and it is close for the hokie nation to make it to florida than chesnut hill folks. I expect VT to be extremely aggressive in the passing game because Ore showed he could run on BC and they will committ to shutting that down. All season long I have said Glennon sucks when the pressure is on him and putting Taylor in relieves that and lets him just play the game, which he can do. The trench battle should be won on both side by VT. Ryan is the bright spot for BC but the hokies will look to get to him and fast. #49 should get pressure on Ryan almost every play. VT on offense has started to also take advantage of the speed, size and talent of the wrs and te positions. even if BC has the defense to stop them all 2aylor will run it. This should be a good game but the hookies are dying for this rematch and every thing I hear about BC is they were so happy to get out of VT with a win....one team looking forard and the other looking back. VT will be hungry and ready come saturday.
Cheers
