November brings the college football season to a crescendo... and with the World Series converging with the NBA's opening week and college hoops creeping into pre-Veteran's Day Territory... the Presto's Pick staff has its hands more than full--
VIRGINIA was heavy on tricks and light on treats in a 28-17 loss to Duke... Cavalier Congrats-- Rashawn Jackson gained 83 yards on 16 carries...while the defense held the high-flying Blue Devil offense in check for much of the afternoon. Cavalier Catastrophes-- Jameel Sewell and Mark Verica combined to complete 13 of 38 passes for 107 yards and an interception... setting the tone for an offense that converted just 4 of 16 third downs.
VIRGINIA TECH at East Carolina-- what was a season of promise has dissolved into chasing Georgia Tech... the team that leads the Coastal Division despite being the least talked-about. Seriously, the storylines have been "Why Can't the Hokies Score?"... "The Hurricanes are back!"... "Why aren't the Tar Heels back?"... "Duke's resurgence" and "UVa's October Surprise... this time it's Minimal!". East Carolina shocked the Hokies last season-- but if I've learned anything about ECU, it's that Halloween is CRAZY in Greenville... I'm thinking the Pirate faithful are still recovering. Hokies bounce back, 27-16.
