About this time last year, we were laser focused on the Buckeyes game.  In arguably Beamer's biggest win, the Hokies went to the Horseshoe and defeated the eventual national champions.  When Ohio State came a calling, the Hokies ran out of gas in the second half.  My two big takeaways for both games was one of awe.  The Ohio State Buckeyes have a long and rich college football history.  The biggest crowd in Columbus to see them play?
