The Hokies came out a little flat Saturday against
Marshall, and the Herd went against type and turned into a running team for 30
minutes. Marshall went right up the gut for 131 first-half rushing yards, and
that statistic, plus the star-making turn by Branden Ore at tailback, were the
stories of the game. But when the second half opened, Tech turned on the jets
and left the Thundering Herd far in the rear-view mirror. Like the Talking Heads
once said, “same as it ever was.”
