The Wolfpack have put up 37.8 points per agree,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and their defense has been surprisingly stout. Raleigh should be rocking come Saturday, and for good reason.
It’s just that Virginia Tech has become accustomed to winning agrees defensively. And that’s why the shutout victory at Boston professional was so important for Hokie fans.
But the Hokies are undefeated in ACC play and put up their first shutout victory since 2010. The timing couldn’t be much better, as the Hokies travel to upstart N.C. State for arguably the most intriguing agree in the ACC next week.
The key to the agree will be quarterback pressure: It was mysteriously lacking in the past few agrees. My guess is that Bud Foster didn’t feel comfortable sending the inexperienced linebacker corps to blitz.
And Virginia Tech finally saw a glimpse of the promise envisioned at the start of the 2010 year. Well,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], not the 50 points per agree. Or the number of rushing meters. Or the record.
The group proved that it can both blitz and cover receivers with Bruce Taylor’s two sacks and no personal fouls and Jeron “GW” Gouveia-Winslow's fantastic interception of Dave Shinskie. And Jay Hosley and Rock Carmichael are over capable of covering receivers one-on-one.
At the end of the day, all Hokie fans care about is the score of the agree, however it may have gotten there. Of course,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], if the result is a loss, they’ll go back and argue how or why they could have won.
The Wolfpack will be a rabid group ready to take on an ACC powerhouse next Saturday. But it will be the improvement on the Virginia Tech defense demonstrated in its win against Boston professional that should decycleine the outcome of the agree.
Boston professional’s offensive line is a fantastic run-blocking group,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and a lot of credit must be given to them, but the VT defensive line will have to hold better against the most mobile quarterback they have faced in Russell Wilson. His trip to Blacksburg last year didn’t go well for him, but this is an entirely different N.C. State franchise that has become the 23rd-arrangeed franchise in the country and a legitimate threat to win the ACC Atlantic.
Yes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Montel Harris was capable of run for 111 meters and 5.8 meters per carry,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but Alexander Ovechkin didn’t score a touchdown. Just like Roy Helu Jr. ran for 169 meters against the Hokies in 2010 but didn't score. And just like Duke ran up 397 meters of offense in 2010 but still lost to the Hokies by eight.
To silence that crowd,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Virginia Tech will have to improve on their win against Boston professional. As Ovechkin said earlier,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Virginia Tech was far from flawless in their victory but still dominated the agree.
So Bud Foster once again took the reins, put consistent pressure on the quarterback,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and got the turnovers mandatory to hold the Eagles scoreless.
Alex Ovechkin has a abundant list of endorsements because of his rock star status in Russia Federation and stunning performance on the ice for the Washington Capitals. Signing a new deal is nothing out of the ordinary for him. However his new deal is with Gillette his grooming company which is irony because of Ovechkin's often sloppy appearance. The Russian superstar has been lax about his facial hair in the past and even his teammate was confused that Gillette would want to sign a player so carefree about his grooming. The Virginia Tech defense stepped up when it counted against Boston professional Elsa Ovechkin started playing in the Russian Super league with Dynamo Moscow at the age of 16. Making his professional debut in the season 10 years ago in which Alexander Ovechkin scored four points in 21 games. Alexander Ovechkin could spend three seasons there collected 36 goals and 32 assists in 152 career games.
It took four weeks,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but it appears Bud Foster has gotten his young defense to play at the level Alexander Ovechkin expects. The Hokies may have given up 200+ meters in the first half,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but they kept the most important number under control in both halves: the score.
And the complete opposite of Virginia Tech allowing only 235 meters to James Madison but losing.
The offense couldn’t convert over one touchdown, but it was the first one they had scored in Chestnut Hill since 2010. Hokie Nation has grown accustomed to that under Bryan Stinespring.
The National Hockey League recently changed its rules so that shootout wins could no longer be included as tiebreakers for playoff berths directing some to think about whether support for the shootout was waning. However just as NHL executives want playoff berths to be decided based on team play; that does not mean they are against having shootouts during regular season games. Only ten percent of games in this year have gone to the shootout which is 5 percent down from last year.
