The 36-0 romp over Duke began to answer more questions about the Hokie
offense this year, as Tech opened up the vertical passing game and Sean Glennon
had his first 300 yard passing day. Bud Foster's defense was as stingy as ever
and shut down the Blue Devils' offense, recording the Hokies' second shutout
of the season. Should we expect more of the same as the Cincinnati Bearcats come
to town this Saturday?
The last time Cincinnati visited Blacksburg, in 1995, the Bearcats walked
away with a 16-0 victory on a dreary, rainy day. Jim Druckenmiller had a
miserable day and Hokie fans were questioning his ability to be the starting
quarterback. As we now know, that team turned around their season and won the
next ten games, including a thrashing of the Texas Longhorns in the Sugar Bowl.
