Virginia Tech
It was generally a vanilla performance on both sides of the ball for Virginia Tech. (Ivan Morozov)

The Virginia Tech fanbase seems a little uncertain about how to gauge this win, and I’m there, too. Taking it one game at a time, 35-14 doesn’t look bad in the score roundups, and plenty of big-name teams fared much worse. Mitchell’s injury certainly sours it, but it doesn’t change the final score. But if this is a team we want to see take advantage of Coastal chaos before staging a coup against Clemson, it wasn’t the performance that’ll have anyone looking for hotels in Charlotte.
