I know comparative scores mean nothing... but.. jeez. We beat the top 3 in the ACC Coastal (UNC, Pitt, Duke) and lost to the bottom two of three (Miami, UVA).

Virginia Tech lost to everyone.

This team was possibly the strangest Tech football team I've ever seen. Lots of valid reasons for that (coaching change, injuries, etc.) But still, how odd to beat 3 quality opponents and lose to 2 of the 3 worst teams in the division. Tech should have won the division and be playing for the ACC championship when you consider all the results and comparative scores. Miami was absolutely putrid this year. UVA was even worse. Win those two, as all analysis would suggest we should have, and we win the Coastal.

As nice as it is to win more than 3 games for a change, and as difficult as the challenges were with the coaching change and injuries, you could make an argument that Tech underperformed this season. Just sayin....

This is known as the ACC Circle of Suck. It happens when a bunch of mediocre to bad teams play each other.
 
UVA and Miami were bad teams. There really is no excuse for how poorly we played in those games. As good as the game plan and execution was in Duke, UNC and UGA; it was bad in the Miami and UVA game.
 
Seems like an appropriate place for this....

Defense played decent in both games, good enough to win for sure, losing our QB and our backups not being ready killed us. My point is that with a healthy QB or a normal practice schedule and non-retarded HC Running practice for the whole year and Key would have run the table on The Coastal. Yes I blame Collins on our backups not being ready for prime-time.
