31-13

this team has unfinished business, and while there are questions on the OL, they will be fine…perhaps not as dominant as last year’s squad, but good enough to keep G-Mac upright and open holes for hard-fought upfield yards.

Alabama 24 Va. Tech 6

we will crush our enemies, see them driven before us, and hear the lamentation of their women

Bama – 31
VT – 17

I think it’ll be close

Key being Bama’s score divisible by 7, no FG’s

2008 fact: Red Zone scoring = 85%
                        Tiffin’s percentage = 66% (20/30)

Way too many FG attempts, Top 4 teams last year was average 13.

…87 Tech.

VT’s defense gave up very few points last season, of course their offense scored very few as well. I am thinking a close low scoring game. I know…terrible prediction with no points…(my own superstition)

and he’s calling for a blow-out, Bama’s way.

He went against his ESPN brethren and picked us to lose 21-17. Nothing I hate more than a UcheaT homer. Screw Chris Low…

’Bama – 27
Va Tech – 17

RTR and Go, Fight UNA!

I meant “bet” the under

….early in the season. The kinks have to be worked out by both offenses. I wouldnt be surprised if this is a 9-6 type game. I would definitely bet the under…..

but what the hell do I know?

I think the game could be low scoring enough to be close, and that’s how I picked it online, but I feel that Alabama could blow up in VTech’s faces as the game wears on. So I’ll say 27-6

Could be huge against Virginia Tech since it could nullify their movement on defense and force their smaller guys into playing the traditional big man on big man style that smaller defenses don’t normally do.

Want to impose your will on them, make them do what they don’t want to do. Don’t let them be so shifty and slanty. Go facemask to facemask with them.

GMac throws the ball up and down the field, and the last thing Tyrik sees is a BIG 62 landing on top of him, and smiling down at him. Bama – 31 VT – 13

This is a good VT tea, but we have a superior D, and enough playmakers on the O to get us 1 TD per period.

I believe Va Tech will play their asses off against Alabama and the score will show it Alabama 56 Va Tech 6

Bama…

S-E-C, S-E-C!

1 for 3 prognosticating Thursday night’s match-ups. He did get the Utes over Utah St., but so did my blind granny (just kinding!) and the other two games, he didn’t even get close.

Then he has the audacity to require a paid subscription to see the rest of his horse shit, yeh right!!

VT special teams is banking on Javier Aranas going after a kick-off/punt inside the 10 or 15 yard line. Javier must resist the temptation and let the ball go rather than risk a big hit and subsequent turnover. I believe VT knows they must score some on defense and special teams is their strong suit and their golden opportunity.

You can guarantee that VT has watched the video of Alabama’s special team mis-steps against LSU and Florida. I know Javier mean well, but he must know where he is on the field and when the ball goes over his head when he’s standing on the twenty, let it go…please! Usually nothing good comes out of that situation by bad field position or God forbid, turnovers.

almost as nervous as the last time we were in the Georgia Dome. I think it will be close at the beginning and we pull away at the end but we never have a comfortable lead( to me 17 points is a comfortable lead not a good lead with more than a quarter and half left).

Both Offenses struggle in the first half. We are up by 3 at half time. get behind early in the second half. Then come back and take over late in the third quarter in a squeaker.
Half Time score bama 3 vatech 0
Final score bama 20 Vatech 13

but I picked oregon and nc state so far what the hell do I know.

As a complete homer, I would like to say that a fairly new O-line (that match’s up against one of the nations best defenses daily), a QB that’s never started (even though by all accounts he’s a smart fellar), a stable of RBs that had the luxury of the upcoming NFL rookie of the year softening the defenses before attacking (although it’s a stout-looking stable), only one proven WR (given that that one WR is THE MAN & we’ve heard really good things about the surrounding cast) & a completely new TE transfer (highly-touted as he is) doesn’t really matter & in the end, it may not, but it is a concern non the less, especially going against a proven defense like Bud Fosters. It could very well turn out to be Bama vs. Clemson part 2, or they may be able to get the best of our O-line & confuse the heck out of McElroy.

However it turns out, our defense & special teams play will attribute for at least 14 points with our offense putting up at least 10 more (the homer in me says the offense will gel nicely so ‘probably more’). We will shut out the VT offense but their defense may score, therefore we’re looking at a final score of something like 24-7. But considering my brain is made of grits & gravy, I really have no idea. And please remember, time flies like an arrow but fruit flies like a banana.

Long days & pleasant nights!

i have absolutely no clue as what to predict. obviously im pulling for the boys in crimson, but its going to be such a drastic change from least season that i dont really think anyone really has much of a clue…other than what they expect…?? i assume itll be close though. 31-23?

getting amped. Everything I’ve read/heard makes me think he’s cool headed and in the moment. Oh, and I heard he’s well coached. I see a blowout. Bama 35, VT 13.

VT is held to under 220 total yards offense. Bama gets just over 450 yards. Bama wins the special teams battle too, by not allowing a block or big return by VT, yet getting something big from Javy.

GMAC has a prototypical Bama Qb night, 17 for 26 w 210 yards.

The RB corps combines for 240 yards on 38 carries…

also we get to see Star Jackson, not int he wildcat, but under center in the 4th quarter, getting reps during garbage time.

we also dont move up to 4th next week either, not until USC and OU have lost do we pass them, we will not be ranked 3rd until the monday after the Red River Game.

My first prediction is just to say that Bama will win by 2 touchdowns, but now that it’s game day, I’ve added a defensive shut-out also. Bama will shut them down just to prove to everyone that they can. I first thought 24 – 10 would be the score. I’ll stick with the 24 from Bama, but we’ll go with the goose egg for the Hokies. So, 24 – 0 , and yes, that is my final answer. LOL

wow…we were all off…Some of us (not me) had Bama’s score close…but we were all WAY off on VT’s…

Bama wins 27-17 lol!

I bet it’ll be 34-24. It’ll be close through the first three quarters as GMac settles in, then Ingram will open up for a career game as the VT defense gets too tired to do the Hokie-Pokie.

Anybody heard from Hokie Boyz ?

it"s the Hokie Boyz eating crow (more like raw bacon)
