I can understand how looking at the last several games it is real easy to say "Pitt +13 looks real good." They demolised a poor Syracuse team, they "beat nd" in many people's eyes and beat BC in a close game last week.
Va tech on the other hand only beat BC by 5, then Rutgers and Temple at home by less than spread.
I guess that is why line is under 2 td.
I suspect VA Tech has been disinterested in last two opponents.
Their next home game is not until Nov 20 against rival West Virginia, but this is their big hurdle before Miami.
AT NIGHT ---In BLACKSBURG!!!!! The crowd will be rocking and the atmosphere will be rolling. Ive seen good teams fall apart in this stadium at night.(Marshall game could have been much worse but they loosened up after 3 quarters and allowed 21 4q points.)
I dont see how Pitt can run on this defense. Miree is okay but no big deal.
Not good news for Rutherford. He will be under pressure all night from that speedy defense.
I can imagine Rutherford will throw an int that directly leads to TD. Have a hard time picturing Pitt score more than 14 points in regular non garbage time play. If they score a late td I think Tech will already be up by 20 or more.
Even though Im not crazy about the Tech offense as a whole: you cannot deny how good the backs are. They are going against a good Pitt defense that I think will eventually wear down from being on the field all night.
Finally the big X FACTOR for Tech is the special teams. Dont they ALWAYS block a punt or block a FG that leads to a score. Why expect anything different this time?
I see VAtech by about 3 touchdowns.
Game starts at 730 est and by midnight I will open up a sports service or retire back to lurking. HA HA!!
GO Hokies!!!!
Good luck all.
