Round Table: Assessing the Season

Recently, we had our TSL football columnists respond to a list of questions
about VT football’s regular season – its highs, lows, in-betweens, and MVPs.
Each columnist answered the questions without being privy to what the other
columnists were saying, and we have compiled the answers into one “Round
Table” on the season. Participants are Will Stewart, Chris Coleman, and
Phil Martin. (Note: Raleigh Hokie was not able to participate.)

1) How would you characterize Virginia Tech’s regular season? Successful?
Disappointing? Somewhere in between?

Will: Somewhere in between, shading towards “disappointing.”
Prior to the season, I expected VT to beat Miami this year and play FSU in the
ACC championship game, although I did anticipate that the Hokies would lose an
ACC game somewhere else along the line, probably against NC State. I never went
on record with a prediction, but I felt that VT would go 10-1, with the ACC
championship game being a tossup. Getting whipped by both Miami and FSU wasn’t
something I expected, so I’m somewhat disappointed. But the 10-2 looks good on
paper. I think it’s just the way it went down.
