GameThread: Tonight We Are All Hokies (Again.)

You surely can't root for the Buckeyes after the eight months of crowing Urban Meyer has done, right?

One of the shockers of last season was watching the JT Barrett-led Buckeyes get eviscerated at home 35-21 by an otherwise-pedestrian Hokies offense. The game would be the highlight of VT's season, and the lone stain on the 2014 national champion Buckeyes' year.

Tonight, at 7:00 CDT, Ohio State makes the return road trip for a night game in Lane Stadium. Among the questions to be answered:

  • Can Ohio State play better on the road versus quality teams. Last season saw some fairly pedestrian results until the final four-game swing.
    Have the Buckeyes figured out how to work around the 4-6 bear scheme that rendered them hapless and helpless in the last meeting, or, do we expect VT to stay closer to its cover-four, hybrid 4-4 scheme?
  • Where will the Hokies get points as Scott Loeffler enters his third season in Blacksburg, having ruined two other offenses prior to this stop?
  • Who ya' got?
