This roller coaster of a season is having an impact on Hokie fans, if the forums at various Hokie-centric outlets are a good indicator. From worried about keeping the bowl streak alive in spring, to talking playoffs (“Playoffs??!!” – Jim Mora) after FSU, fan reactions have run the gamut. It’s been tough on the players, too, as you can tell from their uneven play. Coach Fuente and Coach Foster are both working on it; one telling moment in post-game had Foster discussing how he had to give his defense a pep talk after Notre Dame returned Ryan Willis’ fumble for a TD.
