ACC Champs

In one of the uglier games I've seen in awhile, VT successfully got its revenge on BC, knocking off the Eagles 30-16 for the ACC title. Barring a situation where LSU, West Virginia and Missouri all lose (coupled with some help for the voters) Tech will play in the Orange Bowl, likely against Kansas or Georgia. Tyrod Taylor looked awful for most of the game, except for a 31 yard run in the 4th quarter which set up the game winning touchdown. Glennon was the star of the game, completing 18 of 27 for 174 yards and 3 TDs. As stated before, I am not huge fan of the two headed system, and have been screaming for Beamer to just start Taylor. Glennon has proved me wrong in a big way, looking outstanding the past 4 weeks, after being abysmal in both of VT's losses. The defense was suspect for much of the first half, but shut down Matt Ryan and the BC offense after Tech blocked an extra point and returned it for 2 points in the first half. Going into half tied at 16 was enormous, considering how poorly we played in the first half, as BC controlled the ball for 21 minutes. The defense took over in the second half, and both stud LBs, Vince Hall and Xavier Adibi, came up with huge picks after being MIA for most of the game. Kudos to Cam Chancellor for a couple of ferocious hits. A great job by the coaching staff to rally this team down the stretch after a heartbreaking loss to BC. This is a team that although isn't one of the 3 best teams in the country, could give anyone a game, and if Tech did somehow sneak into the BCS title game, I'd love our chances against the Buckeyes.

Also of note, BC's MLB is named Jo-Lonn Dunbar, and introduced himself as "The Bone Crusher". Nullis.
