If you watched Wednesday’s TSL Podcast, you know that I was really close to picking Virginia Tech to beat Notre Dame, but I couldn’t quite pull the trigger. I picked the Irish to win 27-24, but that was assuming that Hendon Hooker would be Virginia Tech’s starter. Later in the day we found out that it would probably be Quincy Patterson instead. Strangely I remained quietly confident in Tech’s ability to win the game, though I was worried that the offense would struggle with Patterson behind center.
