One wrinkle with the Thursday night football game: Friday's Picks column is morphed into a review/preview/don't really know what to do segment... Halloween gives area teams this fall mostly tricks and few treats... with an occasional laxative snuck in as a candy bar and razor blade laced apple. If the season continues the way it has, it will be a challenge to work a thankful angle into things a few weeks from now...
Alma Mater Update-- Syracuse continues its Big East meatgrinder with a home date against #5 Cincinnati...
#14 VIRGINIA TECH watched its ACC Coastal hopes take a major setback with a 20-17 loss to North Carolina... weren't the Hokies supposed to rule Thursday Night Football with an Iron Fist(usually holding a smoked turkey leg)? HOKIE HIGHLIGHTS-- the defense held the Tar Heels to -13 yards the first three times they had the ball... Ryan Williams came close to hitting the century mark again-- rushing for 96 yards-- while Tyrod Taylor tallied a pair of touchdowns. HOKIE HUMBLINGS-- ten penalties and two turnovers...the second fumble resulting in UNC's game-winning field goal... the inability to move the chains (6 of 15 on third down) and get off the field (UNC was 10 of 19) was damaging.
VIRGINIA vs Duke...the Hokies loss further opens up the door for the Cavaliers in the Coastal Division. Coach Al Groh's defense will have its hands full with Blue Devils quarterback Thaddeus Lewis--with the exception of last week's loss to Georgia Tech, UVa's defense has been dominant in October...Cavaliers come through, 22-15.
Navy tops Temple... Howard slips to Norfolk State... Georgetown beats Old Dominion...James Madison falls to Delaware... Richmond tames Towson... William & Mary gets by Rhode Island.
Last Week: 4-1.
Overall: 37-15.
