Well, today I watched the game. I have seldom seen two such poorly coached teams in a contest. Both teams seemed bound and determined to shoot themselves in the foot and usually succeeded. Stupid penalties - false starts for them, personal fouls(!) for us - stymied or prolonged many drives in the game. And we turned the ball over twice in situations where we could not afford it. (Btw, I don't blame Sims for those; QBs who get blindsided when they are about to throw often cough up the ball and the INT was on a prayer throw.)
Overall, it went about as I feared it might. VT was able to shut down our passing in the first half and got a two score lead. Then it was just a matter of them holding on and scoring a bit more. I thought when they got 23 points on us that the game was pretty much over and I was right. The D gave up over 200 yards passing and rushing, but we did have our chances. Overall, not a sterling performance, however.
And that pretty much does it for the season. We might win one or two more games, but we probably won't. Too bad; given how they played a good performance by Tech would have won. Unfortunately, we matched them mistake by mistake for the whole game.
This is getting tiresome.
