have it mean what you want it to, while ignoring the fact that WVU had more than 15 additional plays on offense than VT. Some of that is because VT answered that 8 play 80 yard TD drive in 1 official play (which also leads to the ST yardage argument), but still WVU had an entire possesion more than VT. Grier had a great game (371 yd) no doubt, but he passed the ball 53 times (7 yd per pass attempt). JJ had just 235 yd passing but attempted half as many passes (9 yards per pass attempt). So VT's passing game was at least equally affective. We also had more sacks and QB hurries (7 hurries opposed to 3). Not really sure how someone could say intercepting a pass on your own 20 yard line in a 3-0 ballgame is meaningless. Sure, it came on 4th down, but who's to say it wouldn't have been completed if it got past Hill. If it had that drive was probably 7. Maybe it wouldn't have, but it was still a wasted 13 play drive (the 2nd longest drive in the game btw) that our D stopped and put your coaching in a position to have to make that decision to go for it. Maybe WVU wins the bonehead coaching stat as well. Either way, the mental aspect of being ahead 10-3 early and up 27-24 late in the 4th as opposed to simply tied, has its own affect on momentum, so that in itself proves the turnover wasn't meaningless, even if we punted 3 plays later.
