Looking ahead to Tech at UVa on Thursday

I had my first in-person looks at Tech and UVa this week. Don't ask for a prediction on Thursday's game in Charlottesville.

This ACC season has proven that one performance has little to do with the next. Tech and UVa have combined for eight losses, including two to N.C. State (by Tech), one to Miami (UVa) and one to Florida State (Tech).

Both teams have looked great, looked OK and looked bad. When they met in Blacksburg, Tech looked especially great and UVa looked especially bad. Could it go the other way this time? Certainly. However, expect a close game.

UVa is 15-1 at home this year, and Tech is 7-7 away from home.

  3. Jim, I appreciate your tongue-in-cheek comment. We were ready to get back to Roanoke yesterday, so I didn't take a lot of time to think about the game this week. I'll post some more thoughts here as the game approaches. What are your thoughts?
