Virginia Game Predictions

[RyanS12]

What is the weather forecast?

We make it rain touchdowns

 

[tech_wreck47]

38-20 GT

 

[awbuzz]

38 - 24
GT in control by half time.

 

[jeffgt14]

28-17 GT

 

[okiemon]

41-38 GT wins on a last second Brenton King FG. Not sure why, that's just what pops in my head when I think about playing Virginia.

That one actually sounds plausible.

 

[alentrekin]

I never do these, but I loathe UVA and think we've played a lot better than our record suggests (so long as there's no rain) 35-17.

 

[GTRoy]

GT wins 31-20. Score is 17-17 at half.

 

[tmhunter52]

Will we travel with wet conditions cleats?

 

[FightWinDrink]

24-14 GT

 

[Sean311]

31-17 Tech.
Jerry Howard has a day.
Pressley Harvin pins them back and makes it a long field.
CPJ gets mad
Boom

the 4 made me laugh out loud.

two safeties, two blocked extra points returned for TDs or one of each?

a blocked PAT is worth 1 point. a fumble recover or interception return on a 2-pt conversion is worth 2 points.

a blocked PAT is worth 1 point. a fumble recover or interception return on a 2-pt conversion is worth 2 points.

you know, i debated that before posting it, but didn't bother to look it up. sure enough, a safety on a try after attempt is only worth 1 point.

strangely enough it happened not long ago, though not in the direction i was envisioning.



i wonder if one has ever been returned by the defense...

 

[Jacketman1]

Close game, GT wins 28-20

 

[iceeater1969]

Their dl is not big and it's not fast which is a bad combination. We roll. 38-13

 

[THWG]

a blocked PAT is worth 1 point. a fumble recover or interception return on a 2-pt conversion is worth 2 points.

@Jacket prime was originally right. A blocked PAT that is returned for a touchdown by the defense is worth 2 points. Look up Texas vs Notre Dame blocked PAT on youtube for an example.

well i guess that answers that question. i'd complain that my memory sucks, but that was probably why i was originally thinking 2pts.

since there is a change of possession, its a touchdown on the try vs. a safety, therefore 2 points.

I swear I just read the rules for all of the potential scenarios not more than 2-3 weeks ago and it read as I wrote. I'll look for what I read, as it's possible that was wrong (or I just misread it - gasp!).

 

[alagold]

I think we’ll win, but even when we won there four years ago, we had five turnovers. I hate playing there. I expect something like an ugly 31-16 win, but it’ll feel a lot closer.

yep, it was a struggle last yr HERE,they outgained us 90 yds and were in it til near end, their coach knows how to defense us

I blame the Wahoo who is trying to distract us with his unnatural point totals...

ESPN ACC Week 10 picks: Clemson, Miami chart course for ACC title game?

Georgia Tech (4-3, 3-2) at Virginia (5-3, 2-2), 3 p.m., ACC Network

David Hale: Bronco Mendenhall said this week that he’s steering into the skid with his team, talking up the need for another win to make a bowl rather than ignoring it. He thinks the pressure was getting to his players, and they were too tight. It’s worth a try, but the problem is, the Cavaliers’ most winnable games are behind them, and Georgia Tech is just a much better team. Georgia Tech 40, Virginia 24

Andrea Adelson: Paul Johnson had the perfect response this week when he was told that Mendenhall had a passion for defending option offenses. Johnson shot back: "My passion's playing against 3-4 teams." Um, yeah, the Yellow Jackets will roll. Georgia Tech 38, Virginia 28
