Let's go Duke. No letdown after the big win vs NCA&T. Right now the Middle Tennessee game is the most important game of the year for us. OFC

Sky is right on point! We opened as a 3 pt fave, and its at 6.5 now.....Its the kind of game DUKE MUST WIN to have a chance at decent year and be a viable COASTAL DIV contender. Lose this game and Duke may not win another this year. It's that simple! That said, I like us to win 31-24......

Better not take this team to lightly. Lose this one and it’s going to be a very long hard season.

I’ve felt that next weeks game with VT is make or break game for us to have any chance to get to six wins and a bowl this season.

I hope Duke beats any directional school...that includes the ones with North in their name

Nice answer to Middle Tenn. FG. Drive straight down the field for a TD. Up 7-3. Now defense needs to step up.

What a first half by our boys. 31-3. Harris had a great first half. Either they are worst than advertised or we are much better. We were only favored by 6.5 points.

what a good first half by the devils. WR position making PLAYS. wow. if the oline keeps jelling and we start to be able to run the ball a little better we are going to have a solid season.
I can only imagine DJ with these receivers. He got here a year too early.

As an aside, these Facebook streams are actually really cool. The chat is interactive and these mini polls that they do and trivia are really fun.

Good win. Next weeks game really looms large. This appears to certainly not be a vintage VT team. Struggled today against Furman. Lost to BC and beat ODU. Still would be great to get a win in Blacksburg.

It's next, next week. We have a bye next week. What worries me about this game is that it's at 7 on ESPN. For whatever reason, we seem to shrink under the bright lights. Hope we change that for this game.

In the games Harris played in last year I thought he was accurate on the deep ball. This was a good win and VT looked beatable today.

Georgia Tech looking VERY beatable right now. Just lost to the Citadel. I wonder how Tech fans feel getting beat by the triple option and if they miss it yet?

I couldn't watch the game so I"m relying on your comments. How did our defense look? Everyone is talking about our offense. I did see their one long pass for a touchdown on highlights and I didn't think the coverage was all that bad, it was a well thrown ball.

Defense was very good. They got sloppy late, but that’s to be expected. Held them to 3 in the first and really, only one 1 td in the second. Rest came in garbage time.

i thought the facebook link was great. great picture, good commentating and i liked the comment section to the right. very fun
okay now for some stats
QH was 24-27 for 237 yds and 4 tds. this was a game that i haved dreamed of. the WR group went up and took balls and looked great.
rushing
QH was 11-107. great game all around
DJ was 22-71 and one td. still not quite breaking free.
MD was 10-47. he has been very good for us
still not quite hitting on the running game. not sure if it is QH or the play calling but i sure would like to see us do more than hand off up the middle on first down most times.. really would like to see a healthy brown and dj attack
receiving
AY 6-106 and 2 tds. wow am i glad he came back
JC 6-46 and 1 td. does ga tech regret losing this kid?
NG 5-33 once again the kid that rivals said didnt belong in d1 has solid game
SB 2-17 liking that scott is getting more active
MD 2-15 between rushing and receiving mataeo is a factor
EP 1-11 and 1 td. only one catch but what a catch
DH JR 1-6 just showing how good the youth is at wr
DJ 1-3 would like to see more passes to DJ
with BOBO coming back vs va tech i think our air attack is scary. the thing to me about QH is that he throws a very catchable pass. now we have a combo of receivers and a coach (props to Trooper) who will go get the ball.

I thought we ran the ball pretty well against Bama, and a lot better than expected.
