The season is halfway over, and let's just come out and say it: things couldn’t
possibly have gone any better for Virginia Tech so far. Okay, maybe both USC and
Texas could have lost, boosting the Hokies into #1 in the polls, but other than
that, the quibbles are minor. Here's a two-part look at what's gone well (a
lot), what hasn't gone well (a little), what the keys to success have been, and
what the keys to continuing success are.
This is part one of a two-part look at the season to date, and in this part,
we'll talk about how the strengths going into the season have carried the
Hokies, and how the concerns haven't derailed the season.
