A Quick and Painful Look at Duke
Well, I blew it. I had a lot of confidence coming into the game last week. I recognized, as did many in the local and national media, that Duke was talented and disciplined enough to beat Virginia Tech. Especially a Virginia Tech team that has struggled all season to score points and take advantage in the redzone. Of course, I recognized the possibility. I just couldn’t believe it would happen. I had the opportunity to go the same route as many and write a fairly safe column last week that predicted a dogfight and warned ominously of the potential home upset against a traditionally overmatched opponent. I eschewed that option and went all in on a Hokie victory.
