TSL: Maryland game preview

515 views

I've been talking about how giddy I am for the maryland game and I need some solid stats and analysis to ground my confidence and the weekly TSL preview is just what the dr ordered. As normal you will see the breakdown of the Maryland offense, defense and special teams...

Will makes a great point comparing thursday nights game to the 1998 thursday night game at BC where 3rd string qb Nick Sorensen had to start and lead the hokies to an ugly 17-0 win that featured 10 turnovers and almost no production from the offense.

Comparisons aside, starting your third string QB is never a good thing, and the Hokies are going to have to step up on special teams and defense. I would be very surprised if VT starts Cory Holt and wins a conventional type game, with nothing but offensive scores. It might take the kind of effort the Hokies had in Chestnut Hill in 1998 to pull off the win.

There are a ton of variables in this one, but I like Tech's chances to somehow put the win together in a Lane Stadium Thursday nighter. The defense will have to have perhaps its best game of the season against Maryland's stout offensive line, and even if they do, a special teams or defensive score might be necessary.
