Virginia Tech Rains on Miami's Parade

Found September 26, 2009 on FanHouse:
PLAYERS: Jarrett Boykin
TEAMS: Virginia Tech Hokies

by Kevin BlackistoneFiled under: NCAA FootballBLACKSBURG, Va. -- Late in the second quarter Saturday at Virginia Tech's Lane Stadium, Miami quarterback Jacory Harris threw a quick strike over the middle just as official's yellow flag darted through the air toward one of Harris' blockers. Harris put his hands on his hips. His chest heaved with a deep breath. His head rocked back.Harris was having one of those Murphy's Law moments, and for good reason.He'd already fumbled, which Virginia Tech turned into a touchdown in little time. A teammate on defense, Chavez Grant, lost his footing on the slip 'n' slide disguised as a football field and got beat on a 48-yard touchdown catch by Hokies receiver Jarrett Boykin. Now a holding call was about to derail some desperately needed momentum for Harris and his Hurricanes as they stared at a 21-0 deficit.Virginia Tech Rains on Miami's Parade originally appeared on Fanhouse - Kevin Blackistone on Sat, 26 Sep 2009 2...

The lesson, as always: The ACC still belongs to Virginia Tech

Via Dr. Saturday  |  September 26, 2009
Check out the Doc's game day live blog on all games, running throughout the day. Virginia Tech 31, Miami 7. In an otherwise regrettable preview Friday, I called the Hokies "masters of rope-a-dope," and if I got almost nothing else right, at least I made that overture to the script that actually unfolded this afternoon in the rain: Tech may start slow -- as it always...

Revised ACC forecast: Virginia Tech comes storming back

Via SportingNews.com  |  September 26, 2009
BLACKSBURG, Va. -- Georgia Tech's punishing and perplexing triple-option offense will lead it to the top of the ACC. Behind the power and precision of Jonathan Dwyer, the Yellow Jackets will dominate on their way to the title game in Tampa. So went the preseason conventional thinking, which seemed utterly believable until it was proven utterly false just two games into the season...

Give us one more, young 'Canes, and the ACC is your oyster

Via Dr. Saturday  |  September 25, 2009
Game of the century of the week. I shouldn't be paying any heed to a vague sense of "intuition" when there are numbers and results to parse and scrutinize, but my general feeling toward Miami's trip to Virginia Tech is that there has to be some correction, some movement toward the prevailing wisdom of the past few seasons: Virginia Tech is too solid on defense,...

HOW ABOUT THEM HOKIES?

Via Today's ACC Headlines  |  September 27, 2009
Evidently, the anointment of the Canes as the next big thing was a bit premature. In addition, the boys in maroon orange continue to do what they do best – play good defense and special teams and mix in enough big plays on offense to win impressively.It helps that running back Ryan Williams is clearly the real deal.Miami, ranked in the top 10 for the first since 2005, had a chance...

What’d you like most?

Well, the ACC’s Coastal Division is again up for grabs. Georgia Tech’s demolition of North Carolina and Virginia Tech’s demolition of Miami means it’s a three-horse race between the Jackets, Canes and Hokies, unless the Tar Heels can somehow show more than they did on Saturday. Of course, that’s what folks were saying about the Jackets a week ago. Here...

Cold, wet, miserable reality check for UM

Via Sports Illustrated  |  September 26, 2009
A solid hour after the last of his 34 carries last Saturday, Ryan Williams sat on a folding chair, talking about how much gas he had left in the tank. "I could've gone for another 20," said the Hokies redshirt freshman tailback, who finished with 150 yards in Virginia Tech's rain-soaked beatdown of No. 9 Miami. Flecks of Lane Stadium turf were still stuck in his...

Hokie Train Rolls On, Next Stop: Duke

Via Bleacher Report  |  September 27, 2009
Virginia Tech (3-1, 1-0) hopes to keep the ball rolling in week five as they head to Durham, NC to take on the Blue Devils (2-2, 0-0). The Hokies are on a three game winning streak, fresh of a mauling of Miami and back into the top 10 in the nation, but can they stay focused on the task ahead? That's never been a real issue for Virginia Tech, they are coached to...

No. 11 Virginia Tech Routs No. 9 Miami in Huge ACC Matchup, 31-7

Via Bleacher Report  |  September 26, 2009
In a huge ACC contest that pitted the red-hot No. 9 University of Miami Hurricanes and the No. 11 Virginia Tech Hokies, the game did not live up to the hype that had been piled on by people across the country.  The Hokies cooled off the storm that was the Hurricanes by a score of 31-7 in a rain-drenched affair that saw newly discovered Heisman contender and Hurricanes' sophomore QB...

No. 11 Virginia Tech Hokies Dampen No. 9 Miami’s Swagger, 31-7

Via VTHokieFans.com  |  September 26, 2009
Virginia Tech freshman running back Ryan Williams scores a touchdown in the Hokies’ 31-7 win over Miami. So much for the “swagger” being back at the “U”. Or, perhaps it just didn’t make the trip to Blacksburg with the No. 9 ranked Miami Hurricanes. All of the “experts” on ESPN picked the Canes in the day’s [...]
