What a disaster for Boise State. Va Tech was obviously WAY over-ranked. Losing in Blacksburg to a subdivision team? Wowwwy.
Boise State went from, "hey, we beat a top 10 team on the road" to "wow, we only beat a team by 3 that got handled by a subdivision team at home."
I wonder if Chico2321 still thinks Boise State could "whoop" the SEC....
Don't you just love being proven right? lol If he does then God help him.

I'd love to see it but I wouldn't bet on it.

damn shame that its a "rebuilding year" with a senior qb thats started games the last 4 years, all of our running backs have experience, all our receivers are upper classmen pretty much, upper classman o-line...its damn sad that its come to this. we suck on both lines and our linebackers arent good enough, bottom line. congrats to jmu for the win today, but no offense its just inexcusable that VT loses at home to a 1AA team. again, i mean no disrespect to jmu fans or their team, but this is a disgrace.
Two things happened today.
One, our defense is good...especially at pressure. That killed their o-line. Tech's o-line is an embarrassment. Especially that left side.
Two, a short-weeked Tech didn't show up. Right now a lot of their players look like they are going through the motions (looked a little like that last week to).
What sucks is that Tyrod is in the top 5 in QBs in the country. On a good team with a better o coordinator he is a Heisman candidate.
Tech isn't nearly as bad as they looked today but they have fundamental problems on their lines. For some reason they never seem to recruit along the o-line very well and on the d-line they have to get lucky that their undersized athletic D linemen that they recruit end up being special. Otherwise they're just...undersized and useless. Tech also has way too many average players starting to be a real contender. They have to get better at recruiting. They were killing it for a while after the Vick years but now London is recruiting the state better and JMU, Richmond and W&M recruit the state very well. They still pull the top players but they lose out on the depth players that would be good starters in the junior/senior years. Especially on the lines.

Oh and the other thing. The top teams in the FCS (JMU, Montana, Richmond, Villanova, etc...) would compete in the ACC. They certainly would be bottom feeders but they'd be 2-3 win teams. Last year I believe both Richmond and W&M beat ACC teams and JMU imploded late in the game to lose to Maryland. The ACC was almost 0-3 against CAA teams in one day.
Why teams would schedule top level FCS teams is beyond me. It is too risky.

tech has been losing recruiting battles to unc lately especially on the lines. the tech o-line coach likes quicker guys rather than heavy guys on the o-line. same with the d-line. our lines will always be smaller and quicker as long as he is there and bud foster is on d. not a fan of the o-line strategy, we have been weak there for a while.

They lost out on on a top caliber kid from my area (2 hours north of Tech) to UNC. Tech supposedly never had a chance. UVA consistently beats them on o-line guys. UVA blows. I don't get it. It's like they don't even try.

No I don't. The fact that Boise had to come back against a team that lost to James Madison at home is a joke. It just shows how much Va Tech sucks and how good Boise isn't. Like I said, they are a 5 loss team in the SEC.

VT needs to hand the headset over to Bud Foster. Along with FB, the whole offensive (and yes they are quite offensive) staff needs to go.

Come on now. Take a little bit of humble pie at least. You were touting Boise hard after Monday's game. Turns out their opponent was soft and they still only won by 3 (and allowed 30 points- that beastly James Madison defense held them to 16 in Blacksburg).
