When I started writing for this site three years ago, I knew there would come
a time when I eventually would have to write about a blowout game that went the
wrong way. Well, Saturday it happened. On a hot, muggy Louisiana night, the
sound of that locomotive heard for miles was not the local train heading through
Baton Rouge.
It was the Purple and Gold Express of LSU steamrolling the Hokies for a 48-7
victory in Tiger Stadium / Death Valley. The Hokies left Louisiana with their
pride bruised and feeling a bit embarrassed by their performance. They also left
with big question marks on both sides of the ball and a new kid at the helm.
