Memories of 2007 Virginia-Virginia Tech game still vivid for Parker and Zidenberg
Boise State Football on the Idaho Statesman &bull Nov 24, 2011
Memories can be cruel and cold-hearted in this rivalry, even when it comes to recollections of the last time this game meant more than just bragging rights. When I came to Tech, that's what all the older guys used to tell me, 'We don't lose to U.Va.,' " said Parker, who helped lead Tech to a 33-21 win in '07 at U.Va. "They even called them 'that… Full Story »

Virginia Tech's offense is in the record-chasing business for a change
Boise State Football on the Idaho Statesman &bull Nov 17, 2011
BLACKSBURG, Va. - Two generally positive labels concerning the foundation of Virginia Tech's football program have existed for the bulk of Frank Beamer's 25 years as coach, and neither has had anything to do with offense. No. 9 Tech (9-1 overall, 5-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) has been typecast as a team built on resolute defense and detail-oriented special teams. This season, the… Full Story »

Wilson sets career high: With the exception of a fumble, Tech tailback David Wilson played a near perfect game, rushing for a career-high 175 yards on 23 carries. His previous career high came in 2009 when he rushed for 165 yards in the Hokies' win over Marshall. We just came in saying that we were going to run the ball," Wilson said. The coaches were saying that, and as a running back, that's what I want to hear. We've got… Full Story »

Hokies' offense answers call
Virginia Tech Football News on Virginia Tech Athletics Official Site &bull Oct 9, 2011
BLACKSBURG - Though the game came down to the final minute of action, what Virginia Tech did on its first offensive possession almost three hours before put to rest any of the doubts that might have lingered about the team's offense and whether the Hokies could rebound after last week's Clemson loss. For the rest of the afternoon, the offense showed just how far it had come in one short week. In the 38-35 victory over Miami on Saturday at Lane Stadium, every time the Hurricanes put the ball… Full Story »

Game Preview - VT vs. Miami

TechSuperFans! TSF! TSF! Coach Frank Beamer has never started a season 0-2 in conference play during his coaching career. That is the most meaningless stat I think I've ever read. Whether it's limiting/eliminating big plays in Miami's return game, outkicking them on field goals, blocking Miami punts, the Hokies have always had a big edge in this department against Miami.Not this year. This year, placekicker Cody Journell is still learning to get consistent, while Miami's kicker, Jake Wieclaw is 4-4 on his attempts.

Georgia Tech's Insanely Productive Offense
Carolina March &bull Sep 22, 2011
Georgia Tech's offense has been something of a terror through the first three games of the season. They average 59.3 points a game, 427.7 yards of rushing, and 247.7 yards through the air. That last number doesn't seem too impressive until you see that it came on only 33 passes - an average of 22.5 yards per pass. How did the offense get so good, and… Full Story »

TechSuperFans! TSF! TSF! Behind another suffocating effort by the defense and a creatively called (if poorly executed at times) gameplan on offense, the Hokies stifled a FAR tougher than expected opponent - the Arkansas State Red Wolves - 26-7 on Saturday in Blacksburg. But you didn't come here to read that. You already know that. After all, you are a Superfan. There were some things in this game that were so positive as to make me think the Hokies could win the ACC title this year, and there were some things that were so negative that I am worried about… Full Story »
