PC – I kind of agree with you.
They were in a “foul mood” this week, which is some comfort, but I just don’t think they’ll be that good this week.

7 captains (way too many IMO) to me don’t seem to be providing much leadership, and we can forget about it coming from Kelly. I see talent, I don’t see fire.

ND barely squeaks this one out 24-22.

Really good write up on the Hokies. As others have mentioned I think Quincy Patterson starts tomorrow. He’s a load to tackle but I don’t think he will be able to make enough plays with his arm. I was at the Michigan v ND game last weekend. ND was just flat from the start of the game and Michigan played with their hair on fire. I would be shocked if that’s the ND team we see tomorrow. I think the Irish will be able to run out the clock in the 4th to salt the game away

Wrong. You need to do your homework.

TJ Jackson is a starter on the OL when healthy, but not at RT.

Tre Turner was indeed hurt, and is questionable for Saturday….. USA Today news report….

“2019-10-27 Tre Turner WR Turner is battling a lower-body injury, and it is undetermined if he will line up against Notre Dame on Saturday. Ques Sat”

Hendon Hooker will be fine for the game this weekend….247Sports news report…..

“Virginia Tech should have starting quarterback Hendon Hooker available on Saturday when they travel to South Bend, IN, to face the Notre Dame Fighting Irish.”

VA Tech is probably angry they got beat 45-23 last year, so we’ll have two angry teams battling it out tomorrow!

When ND was angry under Holtz that usually translated into a complete butt kicking of their opponent but under Brian Kelly it doesn’t mean much.

Either ND will resolve to win out starting tomorrow or the wheels will slowly fall off and we’ll end up 7-5 or 8-4.

However, something in my gut (or years of memories) tells me I am delusional.

I suspect you haven’t seen my 100+ posts Mikey. My sense is they won’t play well but I’d be more then happy to be wrong. FWIW I had them beating Georgia and losing to Michigan.

TJ Jackson was not RT starter and hasn’t started since injury in game 1. Darrisaw at LT is best Hokie OL though C & RG trFR are both 4* future pros who spurned OSU and Bama for VT. Tre Turner isn’t hurt, he had 109 rev yds & TD last game. Also Hooker hyperextended his knee vs UNC and may not start because Quincy Patterson rsFR elite 11 QB from Chicago ran for 122 yds and led Hokies to W vs UNC
