Virginia received their annual Thanksgiving weekend beat-down from Virginia Tech Saturday afternoon at Lane Stadium. The Hokies kicked the snot out of the nose of Virginia for what seemed like the 33rd straight time. Unless you live in the New River Valley, it was hard to find anyone that gave much thought to this game. Maybe we could move this game to April so it doesn’t ruin my damn Thanksgiving every damn year…
Senior Tyrod Taylor (Yes, Virginia will never see him again) torched the Hoos defense for 177 yards on 14/24 passing and 1 TD. He also ran for 24 yards on 7 carries, and could have had many more as he was the best player on the field.
Virginia offense was terrible, totally outmatched by Bud Foster’s defense. Torrey Mack led Virginia in rushing with only 30 yards. I attempted to pick an outstanding player for Mike London’s Hoos on the afternoon, but I’m not sure I can find anyone that played all that well.
The Hoos finish just one game better than they did last season: 4-8. Rebuilding takes time. Patience Wahoo fans…
