What is it about the Hokies and Thursday Night Football? Fried Turkey Legs... BEAMER BALL!... and Maroon and Purple rule like Cheers and ER. I initially wasn't a fan of the Thursday night game but have warmed up to it on the college front (still not a fan of NFL games on Thursday night... but whatever). And Virginia Tech seemingly has been at the forefront of Thursday night action from the beginning.
#9 Virginia Tech tangles with North Carolina and can wrap up the Coastal Division with a victory plus a Virginia loss at Florida State Saturday. While the Hokies boast the ACC's leading rusher in David Wilson, the Tar Heels are ranked third in the league in stopping the run. Bryn Renner doesn't throw for a lot of yards but is extremely effective when he does air it out (#1 in the ACC in passing efficiency). Logan Thomas has grown from a raw product to a quarterback with plenty of polish-- and UNC may be a more inviting target (last in the league in stopping the pass while rating 9th in pass defense efficiency). And oh my those Turkey Legs taste good. Hokies hang on, 30-24.
Coming up tomorrow-- full slate of picks with the "playoff bracket" you've been waiting for...
