Many good things came together for Virginia Tech on Saturday. Most important was that the Hokies were ready in all three phases of the game. The coaches had solid plans, and the players executed them with precision and discipline. Even the o-line managed to step up its performance; while I imagine Coach Vice’s context-free scores from Atlanta are comparable to the ones Tech’s blockers managed against Pitt, the competition they faced on Saturday was a tremendous step up. Bryan Hudson gets a big round of applause for holding down the middle on pass plays, and Austin Cannon and Christian Darrisaw did well, too. And it seemed like Tech’s corners and safeties knew the routes better than anyone on the offense.
