I prepped for this article the same way I prep for every column after a game:
I transferred the game from DVR to DVD, stuck it in my computer, opened up a
separate MS Word document, and started taking notes on the action while the game
played in a different window.
I admired Jack Tyler's early tackle for loss, and the way John Graves
dominated the line of scrimmage in the Stanford possession that resulted in a
first-quarter safety. It was just about time to view Virginia Tech's ensuing
(and only) TD drive ... but I stopped. I ejected the DVD and haven't watched
another minute of the game.
