I've loved and am re-assured by everything you've posted..my concern

about quality wins tho is this..I hear you on the opportunity to get some in the back of the schedule, the ACC slate. But I feel like the way the system is setup for programs like us is - the ACC is not the SEC of B1G, there simply aren't as many Q1 opportunities as those two leagues get (last year)..so we HAVE to win some of these OOC games in Nov and Dec. I don't know where Providence is gonna wind up in the NET, St. Joe's, Colorado State, St. Mary's (if we see them), S Car, Mason..but I feel like we have to win several of those for the "resume" and when chemistry takes a month to form, when we don't get those W's. Talk me off the ledge please on the scheduling front when it comes to having an at large-worthy resume. I just don't like how the system leading to Selection Sunday at larges is setup where it favors programs like ours that -tend- to be on the bubble every year at best.

Why shouldn't you put any stock in exhibitions/scrimmages?

Was Giltner the lead on this type of set/play implementation and counters?

Both teams are doing that same thing so it comes down to talent vs talent…

We don't know that Duquesne is the 9th best team
GoneFishin Hokie 10/26/25 06:15 AM ET
FWIW, Duquense was in the NCAA's in 2024.**

Tech's biggest issue is turnovers right now
Chris ColemanAdmin 10/25/25 08:44 PM ET
Chris, that doesn’t matter. It was a scrimmage. 🙄**
Pride_and_Joy 10/26/25 10:28 PM ET
Same issue we have had last two years?
RiverVT 10/26/25 08:37 AM ET
We still employ Tobi Lawal. **
st_andrew 10/25/25 08:58 PM ET
That's part of it. Team effort today, though.
Chris ColemanAdmin 10/25/25 09:01 PM ET
It looked like Duquesne defender - #1 had a plan to get neo’s face

There's a difference in being prepared enough to win a quality game...
GCHokie34 10/27/25 05:31 PM ET
To be clear, I would have been bummed if we had won by 2 as well but your
VTKev80 10/25/25 08:30 PM ET
I dont think I would have felt any different had VT lost by 20 or won by 90**
GCHokie34 10/25/25 08:32 PM ET
Wow. That was an extensive answer.
Big D 10/25/25 08:03 PM ET
Here's one example...
