We've just begun college football's regular season... so I guess it's time for a break-- right? Um... that's exactly what Virginia's doing with a bye week in mid-September. The marathon's just begun and the Cavaliers get a water-break? Perhaps they need two weeks to prepare for VMI.
Alma Mater Update-- Syracuse's run to redemption was detoured in Seattle....but despite the Orange's 41-20 loss to Washington it was an enjoyable weekend in the Pacific Northwest, from a weather, food and Floyd Little photo-op standpoint. Always good to hang out with the legendary Big Bob (freshman year roommate). Maine, you picked the wrong week to come to the Carrier Dome.
Maryland at #21 West Virginia-- this is the week where the Terrapins find out exactly what their ceiling is this fall... as a win opens up a world of possibilities. Key questions- can the defense contain the Mountaineer misdirection? Will Jamarr Robinson be able to turn the corner as a passer after just eight completions over the first two weeks? Start burning the couches. Terrapins tumble 31-14.
Virginia Tech tries to bounce back from the program's most devastating loss since the 1980's when East Carolina comes calling to Blacksburg. The Pirates have beaten the Hokies recently (albeit on a neutral field) but one has to think coach Beamer and staff will have this team ready to avert its first 0-3 start in 23 years. Hokies humbled but hold on, 16-14.
Elsewhere-- Navy rolls past Louisiana Tech...Georgetown keeps its dream season going by beating Yale... Howard slips to Florida A&M.
