I see a couple of 7.5 with extra juice out there so you may be able to wait this one out if you want. Plenty of people wanting to back Notre Dame.

So many story lines here for the Hokies to post up on their bulletin board. Notre Dame switched their QB to Ian Book and all of a sudden they are going to be playing Alabama in the National Championship. Virginia Tech players keep being reminded that they lost to Old Dominion, but it seems like they got over that last week, and they cut some players that were creating some turmoil in the locker room if you ask me and have made room for the younger more talented guys. QB Ryan Willis looked better running this offense than Joshua Jackson, and I know he's a "Kansas" QB transfer and that's another thing that people are talking about, but Willis (no relation), actually set a Kansas freshman record for passing yards in just 8 starts when he was there. The 4th thing on the bulletin board is Bud Foster's defense and how it's just not as good, we will see.

Notre Dame is better with Ian Book I will admit that, but in his 2 starts he went against #56 run defense / #88 pass defense in Stanford, a team in a horrible situation after playing an OT game on the West Coast to Oregon winning, saving their season in dramatic fashion. Previously he started against Wake Forest who had the 107th ranked run defense, and 96th ranked pass defense. We have seen Book before, and we have seen him make mental mistakes against good defenses. Virginia Tech is +6 turnover margin on the season which could play a factor here considering they have struggled at the tackle position and just lost their pre-season All American LG Alex Bars for the season. Expect VT's Ricky Walker to play a key part in forcing a couple of turnovers in their home hostile environment. Enter Sandman.
