Virginia Tech 28, Georgia Tech 21

Well, it was painful almost from start to finish - a friend who went to the game with me likened it to a bout where one boxer was drunk and the other's left arm stopped working in the 5th round - but we got the win and that's all that matters. Random thoughts:
  • David Wilson is fast. Though I have to say I can't remember another time that I watched a special teams touchdown with my hands in my pockets. From my angle I could see what looked like a huge hole as soon as he caught the kickoff and thought, "I'm pretty sure he's going to score." And he did.
  • We've now fallen behind 17-0, 10-0, 17-0, and 14-0 in four games this year and come back to take the lead in all four of those games (and win all but the Boise State game). At some point this is going to have to stop or it's going to cost us a game we need to win (I'm guessing the ACC Championship).
  • Similarly, the offense is going to need to be better than this. It would have been nice for the D to perform better, but really they were good enough to win. The only reason the game was close was because the offense bogged down for more than two quarters against a defense that NC State shredded for 45 points.
  • After being a real weapon four weeks in a row, wow was Jayron Hosley terrible on punt returns tonight.
  • It's a big bummer that Nesbitt got hurt and is now out for the year - it's a crappy way to win a game and a crappy way for a good player to end his career (though I guess he could be back for their bowl game).
So are the Terps going to meet us in Charlotte for the ACC Championship?
