Sometimes in a game like this it's the intangibles that decide the outcome. The Noles have been playing "the big game" as long as I can remember, whereas Va. Tech is the new guy in town - are they ready for a game of this magnitude? Also, how mature can a redshirt freshman be with so much pressure involved?

I gotta go with Bowden & the Noles, although personally, nothing would please me more than a Tech upset.

Still wondering why I won't be there with my own team! :(

Dear Bill :

I agree with your summation of Hasselbeck. It was a hard ND win they were coming off of , and with the short week and two road games in a row they had to be very tired playing VT on the road. I look for a great BC team next year. The same thing happened to VT after a hard road game at Pitt; followed by another hard road game at WVU. Makes you wonder if the WVU miracle will be likened to the ARK game UT had last year.

Speaking of UT; FSU has to feel like they have a monkey on their backs and a mandatory win is necessary after last year. UT had a great game against them last year. I still think all the pressure is on FSU. They are practicing this coming week and VT is still in the weight room and running; I think practice for VT starts the 17th. A very relaxed atmosphere in Blacksburg.....gregor
