Hokies football machine continues to roll in the ACC
With all the
banter that's been going back and forth about surprise teams
that are blazing a trail towards the top of the polls while
other teams are sliding, certain things stand out. Teams such
as Notre Dame are climbing and the OU's of the world are
creating doubt regarding their legitimacy.
One team that
has solidified their position of legitimacy as far as I'm
concerned is Virginia Tech. Beamer has his team rolling early
and the jitters that some people expected from Marcus Vick have
not come true.
Vick has been
rock solid in his starts for the Hokies. Under extremely
adverse conditions against one of the most feared front four in
the country, Vick was cool and showed great patience as he led
the Hokies past a fired up NC State football team. He used his
legs and his arm was precise when needed to give the Hokies the
go ahead score.
The other
part of the Virginia Tech attack came to light this past weekend
as the Hokies completely dismantled an outmatched Duke team.
While Duke is not an upper echelon team, the sheer dominance of
the Hokies made a statement that is undeniable in its
clarity…."We are happy to be home and by the way, this is OUR
HOUSE".
Eerily
similar to the splash which Florida State made when they entered
the conference, the Hokies are steam rolling top opponents in
the new super conference that is the ACC. In their first 10
games, they are 9-1 and have already locked away their first ACC
Championship.
Against Duke,
the oft-overlooked Hokie defense limited the Blue Devils to an
amazing 35 total yards of offense and only 5 first downs. This
stingy defense is solid and will be ranked towards the top of
the ACC and with Vick leading the offense in what so far has
been a spectacular start, the Hokies could be well on their way
to another ACC Championship.
The season is
young but the Hokies are making a loud statement already.
