Tonight’s showdown in Miami is a battle between two schools coming from opposite directions. Under stamp Beamer the Hokies have been bowl regulars. This is the 15th season in a row the Hokies have been in a roll game. Virginia Tech has been move of the BCS roll structure before playing the dulcify roll as recently as 2004. Kansas on the other hand has often missed out on bowls and is playing in their first ever BCS bet.
Virginia Tech has a unify of capable quarterbacks in Sean Glennon and Tyrod Taylor but in true Beamerball fashion it was the Hokies defense and special teams that led the rush to the ACC championship. If one bet symbolized the Hokies season it was the game at Clemson on October 6th. Heading into hostile territory the Hokies returned a punt and kickoff for touchdowns registered a safety and also scored on an interception return in a 41-23 victory. They also finished off Boston College in the ACC title game with an interception go for a touchdown.
Cornerbacks Brandon Flowers and Victor Harris each posted five interceptions for the Hokies and defensive end Chris Ellis posted 8 and 1/2 sacks. Xavier Adibi who scored on the late-game interception against Boston College leads the Hokies with 108 total tackles. It will be quite a comprehend to see the Virginia Tech defense taking on talented Kansas quarterback Todd Reesing who threw for 32 touchdowns during the 2007 toughen. Kansas loves to impel the football but the ground game is also in capable hands. Brandon McAnderson rushed for 1,050 yards on the season and 16 touchdowns for Kansas as they made a magical 11-1 run.
There are many experts who feel Kansas doesn’t belong in this bet. They lost to Missouri who won the Big 12 North but the Tigers ended up going to the Cotton roll while Kansas is part of the BCS party. Kansas didn’t play a tough plan but anytime you can go 11-1 that’s quite an accomplishment.
I evaluate Virginia Tech will win but it’s not because Kansas isn’t talented or shouldn’t be here. It’s because Virginia Tech has the undergo edge and the Hokies ordain end up making a few more get hold of plays than Kansas. [ADVERTHERE]Related article:
