Is Virginia Tech Actually Good?

Both their RBs are at 6 yards per carry but Drones is obviously taking all the endzone carries because they have 1 total TD between them all year.

And NCState was a Super Bowl too. That didn’t work out well. You guys get too caught up in emotions overcoming weaknesses. It just doesn’t work when you are just flat out bad.
 
We should be able to do them like we Did NC state…Drones is a runner but wildly inaccurate. N their defense is nothing to write home about..would be absolutely shocked if we drop this one.

This and they have always had this weird obsession with our program.
To them, we are the big dude on campus with the nice cars, clothes and girls and
they wonder why it's not them.
I know, I worked and lived with many of them. Lol.

They shouldn't be jealous. They got trucks, jeans, and heifers.

Most of the good players on teams with heavy losses won't care... the good players have checked out and will look to stay injury free rest of the season...

Some of the wannabes might be playing to impress other portal teams but will cave once they are down 2 TDs

I’ve lived about 150 miles from campus for 42 years and their fans, unlike many others, have always been respectful and spoken highly of our rivalry. They always get hyped when we come to town.

This is true.
Over the years I befriended some of the locals (Blacksburg, Roanoke) whom we sparred over the net, who had me not only to their tailgates but on one occasion on a late UM-VT contest, they had me over their house.
Good people, especially the ones closer to the school.
Having said this, they have a huge chip on their shoulder regarding UM.

The short answer is no, of course not. But, a November trip to Blacksburg with a lot of eyes on the following week against Pittsburgh is still enough circumstances to make me nervous.

The Hokies are a bad football team but they could have easily closed up shop in early October and been a walkover thereafter, but they have showed some fight and that is commendable, especially without a head coach. The good news for Miami is that Virginia Tech's best offensive strategy is to run you into submission, which, as we are all well aware, is not a strategy that is going to work against Miami's defense.

It is sort of a miracle that Kyron Drones has managed to play as much college football as he has without getting noticeably better even a LITTLE bit. The guy is a stud athlete who simply cannot throw the ball with any kind of consistency.

I like Marcellous Hawkins for what he is -- an undersized but tough and explosive runner. It is awfully surprising that VT can't find a way to get him the ball more in the receiving game. The days of Virginia Tech's underrated offensive line are long gone however and as long as Miami accounts for Drones in the running game, they shouldn't have to break a sweat bottling up the Hokies there.

The passing attack is barely worth talking about. Drones still can't complete 60% of his passes and Ayden Greene is a good enough talent, but certainly not good enough that Miami's secondary can't handle him. They have literally no one else that Miami needs to worry about there.

The Hokies' defense is below-average in every facet. Kemari Copeland is a useful defensive tackle but lacks size and Kaleb Spencer is a versatile linebacker who would probably have a role on Miami's defense if he was still here. But the rest of the defense is unremarkable.

In all, Virginia Tech is probably Stanford-level bad and I would expect them to start checking out, especially with nothing left to play for and a lame duck coach. Absolutely cannot overlook this game but I think Miami has the chance to win 41-3 if they bring the energy and stay creative offensively.

Unfortunately, Virginia Tech is bad enough that style points won't matter in this one, so I'll expend most of my energy rooting for Missouri and Pitt instead.

Actually, James Franklin could use another running QB that is a terrible passer.

Mario and him will battle for recruits and then will have a Meathead Bowl (pause) when they meet.

I don't think we will battle them for many recruits.

The schools that should be upset are Penn State, Clemson, North/South Carolina. These are the schools that have been eating up DMV and Tidewater recruits because Tech stinks. Franklin is going to crush it with those kids.
