Yep. ODU broke the program and it has never recovered.


Going in to that game, VT was coming off two relatively successful seasons under Fuente, was ranked in the top 15, had soundly beaten FSU in Tally (which looked good at the time, no one yet realized how bad FSU would turn out to be).

ODU not only exposed VT on the field, but it was the flashpoint for a lot of the cultural issues within the program that still exist. That game, I think, was when a lot of players decided they just weren't going to (ever) buy in to Fuente's approach.
