Tulane was a skeleton of a football team when VT played them in that bowl last year. They were missing their coach, starting QB, top WR and several other pieces. They turned the ball over 5 times, and they were still in it going into the 4th quarter. Drones put up passing number's reminiscent of Wimsatt's during that game. There were a few busted plays where he ripped off long runs and that's how they won.
In no world will VT be as difficult as USC, Nebraska or Wisconsin. All 3 are better than VT.
Freaky things are gonna happen in their favor playing them at Lane Stadium. I don't know if we win, but I can tell you this. I badly want to win this not just for us but for the Big Ten. I grew up in VT country and went to a high school where the VT logo was on hats, bumper stickers and even painted on barns everywhere you look. VT fans do not understand the higher level of football we've been exposed to and had to endure the last 10 years. That I am certain of. They don't.
I want to win because I love the guys on our team. I also want to win to see the stunned faces of VT fans on the way out. My guess is 90% of them think last year was a fluke and we're still the same team from the 90s.
