Several Tech players have told me this week that they think Saturday will be Mr. Vick's official coming-out party. I think he's going to handle this week very well. Tech's main concern has to be holding on to the ball. The Hokies have turned it over nine times the past two games. They won't be able to get away with that this time on the road against a quality opponent.
Football is such a game of emotion.
I feel the Hokies have a huge edge in this category. They desperately don't want to let UVa pull the old hat trick. Virginia, meanwhile, is coming off a great win on the road at Brigham Young and is flying high again. Maybe too high. Certainly, they would have entered this game with a much greater sense of urgency.
