Boston College 14, Virginia Tech 10 (Final)

Nice job by Ryan and BC at the end of that game, but VT gave it away. That was a prevent (you from winning) defense that only the Cleveland Browns could be proud of. Seriously, I don't want to hear ESPN say a thing about the "stout" Bud Foster-Frank Beamer defenses after a performance like that. Give credit to BC for seizing the opportunity though, even though it was gift-wrapped for them.

What does it say about this year's Heisman field when somebody can solidify their status as the frontrunner with a 25-52 performance?

I'm kinda happy with the way this turned out though. Keep on giving those SEC schools something to bitch about. LSU fans are certainly gonna complain about being ranked behind a team who beat a common opponent by some 30 fewer points than they did - but hey, at least Boston College didn't go out an lose a game to a freakin' BASKETBALL SCHOOL like LSU did.

The rain affected the game I thought. It seemed to clear up just before Ryan went wild.

Could've been a factor, but it seemed the VT defense (especially the secondary) just gave up. The D Line kept getting pressure on Ryan, so he'd scramble and eventually find an open receiver. If VT's secondary would've kept up the pressure, BC wouldn't of gotten on the scoreboard. Oh well.

Went from rushing 4+1 in a man cover scheme to rushing 3 and dropping into zones.

hmm... i seem to recall that type of sentiment a number of months ago.

I don't recall a single person thinking we'd "kill" Florida. We also will most certainly not be taking our title game opponent lightly like we did this past January...

Honestly, I think when they got to the two-minute and Ryan was calling the plays made the difference. He seemed uncomfortable with the previously called plays, or that could have been the enormous choke job that VT displayed when it came down to it.

Maybe not, but I seem to recall a powerhouse thinking they'd roll a team that barely went undefeated edging out powerhouses like Cincinnati, Purdue, and Illinois.
Nobody outside of Ohio thought that team stood a chance either.

true. i think VT felt comfortable with giving up 3 or 7, but before they knew it....it was over lol

If his team actually showed some life THIS YEAR, then I would be cautious.

He is not what he once was- I know how he great, but FSU does not have mentality of "watch out- they can sneak up on you" like Kentucky.

I AM cautious about Miami- they do have some talent and actually know what offensive football is.

Ahem... there's a plate of crow over there.

Don't ever underestimate Bobby Bowden, he's a good coach and can piss off teams easily.

Do you get more hard-ons for THEOhioState or OCBW?
