Virginia Tech 35 - 0 Virginia (11:17 left in 4th Quarter)

Thanks to Matthew for the updates so far.

I thought this was going to be a very competitive game. UVA has looked really good for the last two months, they were at home, and they had every possible incentive to play well today. But they have just been totally dominated from beginning to end. Tech has 368 yards to only 240 for UVA. Tech has 186 rushing yards to only 31 for UVA. And Tech has gotten two interceptions, without making any turnovers of its own. On paper, this should have been one of the most competitive UCFC games of the year -- in fact, it has been the least competitive.

As I indicated in the preview, this game always means more to Tech than it does to UVA. I think, for all of their success in recent weeks, the Cavs definitely benefited from the fact that almost no one circles the calendar for the UVA game. But Tech does. Last week, on Senior Day against UNC, they looked unsettled and flat. Today, however, they have really brought the lunch pail, and they have simply manhandled the Wahoos -- as they usually do.
