The Top Virginia Tech Football Games on the Rest of the 2010 Schedule
The Virginia Tech football team for 2010 has gotten off to a horrid start, with losses to two non-BCS conference teams. They initially fell on Labor Day to Boise State in a great game at FedEx Field in Landover, Maryland, and followed that up by laying a good egg in their home opener against James Madison University (a Division I-AA or FCS school) at home. Obviously the Hokies weren’t just about all there in their second game especially given the short prep week.Having said that presently there still are some good games on the schedule both within the conference and even outside the ACC.
There’s tons left to play for with Frank Beamer’s squad and you can wager that the Hokies may have some battle left inside them. The ACC conference hasn’t seemed to be too solid to date in 2010 and thus VT can certainly still make a run from an ACC championship and an Orange Bowl.
Obviously the top-quality out-of-conference game for the Hokies within 2010 was in fact the one they lost versus Boise, however there’s two left and both should really be very good match-ups. Virginia Tech vs ECU tickets in Lane stadium will be entirely sold out as the Pirates come with an on-going competition with VT and will certainly allow them to have a good game. In fact, ECU defeated VT in 08 in their opener on a blocked punt.
Virginia Tech also takes on Central Michigan later within October, and you can expect VT vs Central Michigan tickets to be equally sold out. Central Michigan is amongst the so called ‘directional’ schools in the MAC, but usually has a capable first string and will probably not just collapse over for the Hokies, primarily given the offensive and defensive line problems Virginia Tech has right now.
However it’s actually the ACC segment of the schedule that has the real attractive games and some real battles as well. There is plenty to choose from, however it will not start easy since the Hokies have to go to Boston College to battle the Eagles, a team that typically gives the Hokies fits. Va Tech will most likely be favored, yet it will likely be a game they’ll need to survive, not just win.
The next week isn’t any simpler since they then take on the NC State Wolfpack at Raleigh. So that is 2 weeks back to back on the road against great ACC opponents. NC State is definitely an experienced team lead by an excellent QB, and the actual last time the two played there, it was an extremely tight game. NC State will be in search of vengeance from last year’s loss.
But on November 4th (a Thurs evening), is actually when the hardest stretch of the Hokies schedule commences that should make or break their own year. The subsequent four games can decide the fate of the Coastal Division of the ACC. This starts off that evening with a significant match-up with the team that has become the Hokies second most important rival, Georgia Tech. The winner of this game has won the actual coastal division several years in a row. Virginia Tech vs Georgia Tech tickets will probably be the most difficult ones to obtain all season.
That game is followed by colossal games at North Carolina (UNC) and at Miami, 2 of the ACC most potent teams. Needless to say North carolina has a lot of uncertainty right now given their own player suspensions, however it most likely is going to be settled down at that time. Playing Miami on the road is obviously a war, and they again have a seasoned senior quarterback, and will be searching for vengeance after getting throttled in Blacksburg last year.
The Hokies close the entire year out having a game at home versus UVa. Virginia continues to be down for several years, however seem a lot improved this year. It’s also likely things will not be resolved within the ACC until this final week, and both teams could have something to play for.
