With BC pinned to its own eight yard line and only 4:16 to go, both teams changed their strategies entirely. The Hokies had only a 10-0 lead, but it felt like much more than that as the game winded down. You could see that fact from watching the game, but just about any stat category you want to use-points, yards, yards per rush, yards per pass, third down conversions, etc.-backed it up.
My favorite example to illustrate this point is the 2007 Boston College-Virginia Tech game.įor the first 56 minutes, Virginia Tech was clearly the better team. It doesn't even mean the winner was the better of the two teams on that day. I want to set a few things straight before all that goes into overdrive.įirst, just because one team beats another team, it doesn't mean the winner is the better team overall.
Unless this weekend's LSU-Alabama game is a big blowout, we're going to have a debate over the following month about whether the two teams should have a rematch in the national championship game.
