Well, it’s five minutes before the official start of the show, and there are lots of questions on our minds as the Hokies prepare to run out into a nearly empty Lane Stadium to face a team that seems to have had a serious turn around in its fortunes. Liberty is undefeated, and ranked 25th in the AP poll. Tech is hovering right outside the top 25 voting. Will a win help? It won’t with the conference, but this is real. Virginia Tech need a solid performance and win in this, the one non-conference, game.

Questions Questions Questions

• Can Tech overcome their non-game blahs and get a significant score on their first drive, or a significant stop if they’re on defense?
• Is Liberty going to key on Herbert and the run game?
• Is the Offensive line going to continue its dominance?
• If Tech is running well, will we see much passing from Hendon Hooker?
• Is Liberty’s dual threat Quarterback going to drive the Hokie Defense crazy or do they get him and keep him in a bag?
• Does the game end up being a score trading shootout?
• Will Hokie play calling rise above the rudimentary level?
• What’s the Tech score ceiling today? Are they going over 40? Can the run game put up over 300 yards? Are Special Teams going to play a big role?

The questions keep occurring, and are begging for answers. The wiseguys in the betting world see us as 14/14.5 point favorites. We all know that never seems to work out the way that they figured.

We’ll see the answers in a minute so.

GO HOKIES!!!!
