Last year, VT beat a team that had more questions than answers after losing Miller. Barrett can throw on them. Jones will dismantle them like the Hulk if they stack thw box against them. The WR disciplinary issue is a problem, but there's been time and depth to plan around it.

Then, there's this small issue of disrespecting Meyer and his staff with such talk and the more general problem of givivg him an opportunity for revenge, if you are the Hokies .defensive coordinator. Urban says the team is ready, were unprepared last year, are ready, and will be playing with a chip on their shoulder. Look at what happened to the teams that beat Florida in 2007, when they next faced Meyer.

There is also the issue of Ohio State playing in just five days and Urban will want to rotate and keep people fresh.

Buckeyes will put up 21 in the first quarter and stifle their offense, 35 by the half.
