GMan 3,569 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 Instant Analysis of the VT-Miami game... "Virginia Tech did it all against the odds in 2004, capping its tremendous season with a particularly memorable effort against Miami, a program synonymous with college football royalty. Saturday in the Orange Bowl, a violent dethroning took place, and a new king rose to power in a newly-shaped conference." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tech is following a familiar pattern that's been forming for a few years now. Great defense and a third year starting quarterback. Case in point Aururn, third year starting QB. VA Tech Randell is in his third year starting. The last two years, LSU wins with a guy that started on and off for three years (Matt Mock). And the year before that, Ken Dorsey took Miami to the second of two straight title games in his second and third year starting. Put that with the fact that all of the teams that I listed had of have suffocating run defense and you have a championship contender. Tech is not "storming the Bastille", they are following a developing pattern in college football. The signs are pointing toward USC for next year, is Matt Linehart dosen't leave early for the NFL, and toward Florida (Chris Leak) if Urban Meyer plans on playing defense.

Bluefield_Rules 46 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 If Florida can get its act together they've certainly got the QB to win it all next year. I love watching Leak play, but watching the rest of Florida's players can be hard on the eyes...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89Tornado 10 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 I think Leak has one of the sweetest passes in college. I haven't seen all of his passes, but I don't think I've ever seen one leave his hand that wasn't a tight spiral. He threw the same way in High School....speaking of Independence High, they go for their 5th straight state championship this weekend.

Bluefield_Rules 46 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 What's the odds they get their fifth straight, is their competition on par with them or is it a pretty much foregone conclusion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89Tornado 10 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 I don't really know. I moved back to Richlands a few months ago, I haven't been able to keep up with Independence. They play South View tomorrow at 4:30 in Chapel Hill. I'm sure they will be favored to win. I think there average score this year was 56-3 or something close.
