After showing promise in a tough home loss to Georgia Tech, the Hokies took
several steps backwards in a disappointing 22-3 loss at Boston College. Unlike
Georgia Tech, this was more than just a loss to a good football team. With the
outcome still in question, this was a loss characterized not only by
disappointing play, but also by a final quarter marred by lack of poise, poor
attitudes, and embarrassing behavior. There has been a lot written and said
already, so I will just say that the character, image and leadership on this
team again are in question. And to the extent those issues are dealt with will
go a long way in determining how the rest of the season plays out.
With that out of the way, let's take a look at what happened on the field
Thursday night.
