The Top Virginia Tech Football Games on the Rest of the 2010 Schedule September 30th, 2010 | Uncategorized | No Comments »
The Virginia Tech football team for 2010 has gotten off to a horrid start, with losses to two non-BCS conference teams. They first fell on Labor Day to Boise State in a thriller at FedEx Field in Landover, Maryland, and followed that by laying an egg in their home opener against James Madison University (a Division I-AA or FCS university) in Lane Stadium. Obviously the Hokies were not all there in their second game specifically given the short game week.Nevertheless there remain some very nice games on the itinerary both in the conference and even outside the conference.
There is plenty left to shoot for with Frank Beamer’s group and you can bet that the Hokies will have some battle still left in them. The actual ACC conference hasn’t looked too great to date in 2010 and thus VT may as well make a run at an ACC championship and an Orange Bowl.
Undoubtedly the leading out-of-conference game for the Hokies within 2010 had been the one they played out vs . Boise, nevertheless there are 2 still left and both should really still be very good match-ups. Virginia Tech vs ECU tickets in Lane stadium will still be completely sold out as the Pirates come with an on-going competition with VT and may allow them to have a great game. In fact, ECU defeated VT in 08 in their opener on a blocked punt.
Virginia Tech also plays Central Michigan later on within October, and you may expect VT vs Central Michigan tickets to become equally sold out. Central Michigan is one of the so called ‘directional’ schools in the MAC, however usually has a good first string and will not just fold over for the Hokies, especially presented the offensive and defensive line challenges Virginia Tech has at this time.
Nevertheless it’s the ACC part of the schedule that has the real fascinating games and numerous real struggles as well. There is many to choose from, but it won’t start simple since the Hokies have to journey to Boston College to play the Eagles, a team that usually gives the Hokies fits. Va Tech will most likely be favored, however it will be a game they will certainly need to survive, not just win.
The following week is not any simpler because they then battle the NC State Wolfpack at Raleigh. So that is two weeks repeatedly on the road vs great ACC competitors. NC State is surely an experienced group lead by an excellent QB, and the actual last time both played there, it was a very close game. NC State may also be searching for vengeance from last year’s loss.
However on November 4th (a Thurs evening), is really when the toughest portion of the Hokies schedule starts out that could help to make or break their year. The subsequent four games may decide the destiny of the Coastal Division of the ACC. This starts that evening with a huge match-up with the group that is the Hokies second biggest rival, Georgia Tech. The winner of this game has won the actual coastal division many years consecutively. VT vs GT tickets will likely be the hardest ones to find all year.
That game is followed by huge games at North Carolina (UNC) and at Miami, 2 of the ACC most effective clubs. Certainly North carolina has a lot of doubt at this time given their player suspensions, but it probably will be settled down at that time. Playing Miami on the road is often a fight, and they once again have a experienced senior quarterback, and will be searching for vengeance after getting throttled in Blacksburg this past year.
The Hokies close the entire year out with a game at home versus UVa. Virginia has been down for quite a while, but appear a great deal improved this season. It’s also most likely things won’t be settled in the ACC till this last week, and both clubs could have something to play for.
