Virginia Tech Football 2020 Game-by-Game and Season Predictions

all right ITIL it's so let's do it so our early I don't know how you guys want to attack this however way you guys want to but a lot of people wanted to see record or wins and losses the whole view guys want to go down the list and give what you think winter lost now not having any idea necessarily what's coming back for some of the other teams I don't know clue about you know Tennessee state or any other if you guys want you guys want to go down the list and go what you think right now here yes chances yeah so open up against Liberty and again they lose a lot from last year's team and they did win a bowl game but a game I'm sure you guys both well with Liberty can't beat Virginia Tech but Virginia Tech can beat Virginia Tech so there's no if Virginia Tech just avoids turnovers and please half way smart football game they'll win to mark that down as a win yep Penn State loss oh do you prove otherwise I agree but we're do the law of averages for do to win one of those games right oh no no that's that people hate it when you use the phrase law of every the last time her law of averages was Wednesday before Thanksgiving Day doesn't matter if you were right or not the emotional types get bent and the analytical types tell you using the phrase incorrectly I am it and that phrase is verboten yeah Oh funny Tech is due to win a game like there you guys nonetheless you know there's a long track record of I mean generally teams with the most talent win in Penn State has the most talent right at Middle Tennessee State like we talked about that'll be it I guess there by the way I should know their conference USA I believe correct our Sun Belt let's conference it okay all right North Alabama who I know absolutely nothing about I don't have another mascot I believe they're the Panthers I believe you're right or Jaguars I think gracious it was some sort of cat our decision there long ago you know some some I'm gonna look that up all right so uh how about we talk about this UNC game for a little bit you got a new Georgia Tech well that's your secwet but think about this like if Virginia Tech beats Penn State I think they're gonna be five and Oh going into that North Carolina right right five and oh and probably ranked in the top ten quite frankly if you beat Penn State yeah and and that would have some extra juice if techid won the bowl game tech for tech would be a ranked team going into the season if they'd won their bulbs I still might be I saw a preseason poll with them xx Athlon husband appreciation toy and I think that's the level-headed thing to do because bowl games are bowl games yeah they're glass shoots yeah absolutely real quick quick timeout so North Alabama is the only school in the country to have a living mascot on campus that's not true that's not true LSU has one on campus they have a tiger you can go by and see here's the first University of the salable that wait a minute this is that this is roar Alliance calm this is there yeah I'll read you the first move Mike the tiger and I'll read you the first amendment the University of North Alabama boasts the only live lion mascots my bad show the only lifeline in the country living on a college campus Leo the third Georgia Tech has the only poultry mascot poultry mascot the two lines live in a twelve thousand seven hundred sixty foot square foot so there's to detect probably has like scores of turkeys well Valley with turkeys only live like two years so you got to replace those things sorry I didn't mean to jump and you guys go through Georgia Tech I was looking at yeah that that should be a win that's a winner we forward one now Cornwall or five enough so you're either four and one or five and over heading in that North care we go at UNC toss-up yeah absolutely a 50/50 game absolutely fifty busy it's just North Carolina has got a great quarterback that guy's top-notch I also they haven't had a good defense in over ten years now at North Carolina and that defense in 2009 was a Butch Davis defense that they recruited air quotes right great so until they start playing defense you've got to consider that game a crapshoot like even if they have a great quarterback you can out score right yeah all right so that's UNC at a toss-up let's keep going down Boston College on a Thursday no AJ Dillon I do have a AJ Brown coming back who played well against tech secondary last year my quarterback do you think so he is coming back I believe I believe he was the same age already writing I thought I already hit the portal oh yeah you got hurt sorry no not a jam that's not his name wrong I apologize your AJ Dillon declared for the draft Anthony Brown look up Anthony but I thought he declared for well not declared but I thought he hit the portal I could be wrong let's see Anthony Brown will explore options playing elsewhere after the redshirt junior entered his name Monday and the NCAA transfer poor levels on December 9th so good I haven't heard anything since then or happily I don't know I didn't look like at any rate I just I don't know I felt like tech that's a game Tech would've won last year and they have a new coach coming in as well there's a lot of unknown there because they have a new coach but that's a game textured went at home right at Louisville slightly favored tech in that one but I agree with that I wouldn't call it a toss-up right tech is better defensively in Louisville Louisville got such a great passing attack and everything but Virginia Tech's got the dust cornerback combination in the whole country it Caleb for Farley and Jermaine Waller and then Louisville unless their defense dramatically improves I mean Virginia Tech's gonna be able to score points in that game I think the prevailing opinion is that Louisville is very well coached offensively I didn't watch him a lot you know but I know that even in there was one game and I remember who it was against they said they were outmatched and they started out really well and then about a quarter and a half into a coaching staff for the other team caught up to him and that was the end of that I did probably opening game of the year against Notre Dame they started out with an early lead and then probably Kentucky well know Kentucky lasted for me get guts from which is kind of weird though I think that was the only game that happened to him and but anyway that that one's a bit of a bit of a toss-up but favoring tech at Pittsburgh on the Friday night November 6th I think don't paper Tech has a personnel matchup advantage in that game and that Pitt is one-dimensional offensively based on what we know from this past season that doesn't mean things won't change or can't change between now and then Nevin can you look up the history between Tech and what went when tech when when Pitt scored you know thirty six against tech back in 2016 at Pitt yeah they were team that year that could run the ball and throw the ball they were a balanced offense um 2018 Virginia Tech's defense was just so bad you don't kind of discount that but they're gonna have Pitts gonna have to get a running game back if thy right so Malcolm see the full games list page the the link over to the right underneath the Pitt logo click that and I want to see if Virginia Tech has won in Pittsburgh 2016 yeah 2016 once that one taste first you remember such a huge deal three receivers over a hundred yards yeah but that's that's the only Road win at Pitt since dating back to dating back to 99 dating back to their old stadium right right so Hines build has been an awful place almost if Virginia Tech can win in the Carrier Dome and basketball they can go into pit and football but I mean like I said Tech has a personnel advantage but it's Pitt on the road instead of acid you can help each other out yeah that's kind of a toss-up to me all right Miami at home again tall I mean you might as well just like rule the day roll the dice go out on the street ask a random person that doesn't know anything about sports at all I mean they have just as good a chance picking that game as we do especially right now but I think I'm gonna land on tech side on that one let me ask you something are you more nervous about the Pitt or Miami game right now Pitt Miami I don't know it's mine it doesn't make any sense text shittin of one at Miami this past year they were coming off a 35-point loss and they were playing on on the road this year I got Miami at home and everybody knows Miami has cultural issues and things like that but they're still gonna have more talent and all I gotta do is get it but get it together for three hours side to play a game right I don't know I I will say that like if I was starting a football team from scratch and and you showed me the teams I was playing I'd be like yeah okay I'd rather play pit just just from a pure talent standpoint they're both concerned me but for different reasons all right how about at Duke November 21st the final road game of the year that's gonna be a win Kenny yeah it just doesn't make any sense to say oh that's definitely gonna be a win when you've just lost to him forty five to ten but and we don't know we don't know where either team will be mentally at this point but I think I think Duke under David Cutcliffe his you know that they've steadily you've seen what you've seen peak you've seen if he cut cliff at Duke right there's only so many times you can ah Clips a great coach I don't want anybody to take the way I say this wrong there's only so many times you can get lucky on the recruiting trail well Wake Forest and Jim Grobe they got lucky once what exactly they rode that one class into the ACC title game goes over six six and it was three-star recruits to star in three-star recruits who happen to be like first-round pick like that linebacker and they had all found so Smith is everyone at being theme number one pick he was a fourth overall pick on the draft bus Seattle I think and then Cutcliffe you know they get our Jameson Crowder undersized to the restart or crew that nobody really wants and just like that he's in the NFL and then Daniel Jones was a walk-on and then a first-round pick right eventually unless you unless you're able to start beating out major schools for blue chip recruits you can only go to that two star three star well so many times when it comes to finding elite players right so I think I think they're out of NFL receivers and out of NFL quarterbacks down there and James encountered the star receiver of the New York Jets that was there yeah yes so that is I think you guys bring up great points about Duke there and then cozier just yes or no Commonwealth cup right now and your opinions are coming back to Blacksburg yes I think so yeah it's you have to you would have to favor attack right now SEC returns almost everybody UVA lost like I said Bryce Perkins head that had to have a once in sixteen year performance against Tech for them to win that game and he yeah I mean 20 percent chance on boss or 20 percent accurate rate on balls 20 or more yards downfield and he put it in there perfectly so this is shaking out to like an almost like a 9 and 3 prediction yeah yeah I think I think we had we put down Penn State as a loss and then what do we have Carolina toss up you said we had like three toss ups yeah so so let's say if two out of the three toss ups go your way then you're 10 and 2 if one out of three toss ups go your way you're nine and three
