I took some liberties this week and went for part game analysis, part season
assessment. That seemed appropriate since this game likely represented a
snapshot of what we can expect from here on out — close, tough, hard-fought
battles decided late by a big play here or a key mistake there. In this one, the
Hokies survived a turn-back-the-clock offense and a tough defense to outlast a
very good Georgia Tech team 20-17. It was one of those “must wins”
against a key ACC Coastal division rival, and one that gives the Hokies a base
to build from as they get ready to hit the road for four of the next five games.

Let’s get to it …
