Tech has been powerful throughout the 90's, going nose to nose against some of the toughest competition around. They have the best winning record of any Big East team since joining the conference. They've owned Miami the past 4years, and Syracuse has yet to win a game in Lane Stadium. Yet, somehow VT manages to stumble at least once each year to an overlooked underdog. That doesn't bode well for a Tech team that should be favored in all their remaining games.
History can be hard to overcome.
Just ask Nebraska head coach, Frank Solich. Although favored to beat conference foe Texas in their last three meetings, the Cornhuskers have been unable to rewrite the script provided them. In the past four years, Texas twice cost Nebraska a potential shot at the national title. A win there would have secured the conference title for the Hokies, but it was not to be. Pitt prevailed in a 30-23 battle.
