Anyone agree that Virginia Tech will be a battle? 11/21

[AUcane]

To miss the ACCCG at 11-1 would mean we beat ND, so yes.

Fair. 11-1 and if we miss the ACCCG or lose the ACCCG probably still gets us in. 2 losses (and either missing or losing the ACCCG) and no shot, imo.

Miss the ACCCG is definitely 0 chance. Losing in it at 11-1 (being 11-2) and I think we would be on the bubble. Depends how everything else shakes out. Would almost certainly being comparing resume's with a 3 loss SEC or B1G team.

If the game were in Blacksburg then maybe I’d agree with OP.

At home I think we wing by at least three TDs.

Franklin stinks.

someone remind me what james franklin record is against top 5 opponents.

1-14 at Penn State and 0-5 at Vandy for a total of...1-19 overall per google

Also, he's 4-21 against top 10 comp

I hope they are undefeated when they come down here. I’ll be there.

Perfect.

 

[simplycanes]

It depends. If VT is 9-1 or 10-0, I think we smoke them. If they are 7-3, I would be more nervous.

This man knows CristoBALL!!

It’s early— I have my daughter flying down from Penn state (pains me she chose there) to attend her first Canes tailgate & game!

Won’t be a walkover I suspect— but not sweating it just yet

Too soon to say- but I’m so glad my daughter can see what a real game, real match-up with potential NFL players really is like versus bum f**k state college!

 

[CANEMC]

Beat Wake.

My night terrors are split 50/50 between Afghanistan and 2003-2023 UM football.

I have it on good authority FOB Shank in (the former) RC-East has excellent AirBnB accomodations now days

 

[aelmiami]

Do we really know anything about that team rn? They’ve beaten up on two teams they should’ve beaten up on. They are probably a 7-5, 8-4 type team so it won’t necessarily be a cake walk but I’m not stressing too much over them. Pitt is the one I’m looking at as our typical let down game.

 

[caneforlifeforreal]

I mean they did fire their coach and all so

And rehired him

 

[The Cane of NY]

Jive Turkeys always give us their best. They'll keep it respectable.

 

[klineski96]

I fully expect VT to give us their best shot.
Beating Miami would mean a successful 2026 for basically anyone on our schedule, VT included.

If by "a battle" you mean a close game... sure, it absolutely could be. Personally I don't think it will be close. It shouldn't be close.


But 2026 has been a wild season already. Some crazy games so far.

No one is stopping this offense. So the question is if Wake or Ava Tech or anyone else can put up more than 30 on our defense? If they can’t then we roll.


…



Reveal: they can’t

The last 2 seasons and 2 games, 1 team has beaten Miami....










Reveal: Miami


Play to win the ******* game and we will win the ******* game.

They won't be a problem this year, but they will be a problem in three years.
