When Virginia Tech enters Scott Stadium Saturday at noon, the Hokies will be
looking to shake some nasty recent history and prove to their fans and the media
that one loss doesn't necessarily lead to two âĻ or three âĻ or more. On
Saturday, the question will be asked and answered: Is it 2003 all over again?
You know all about 2003. A 6-0 start, followed by a 2-5 swan dive finish,
including three straight defeats to end the season. That Tech team had some
talent, but what it didn't have was leadership. When things started to go south,
there was no one on the team who stepped up and got things going in the right
direction again.
