We all knew Saturday would be a test. We knew we’d have a better understanding of where the Hokies are as a football team at about 10pm on Saturday night. We knew that we’d get answers. Unfortunately, most of them were not the answers we were looking for.

Walking out of the stadium, I felt like it was Miami 2005 all over again. It was Tech’s first big Saturday night game since then, and even the final margin on the scoreboard was the same. How the game went was pretty similar as well … a slow, steady blowout in which the defense played well enough to win, but the offense and special teams didn’t carry their weight.

There’s no sense brooding on this one too much, as the Hokies have another huge game with Miami coming up next weekend. Nevertheless, there are a few things worth addressing.

The Tech Defense is Good
