I think a huge factor in last year's VT game that everyone is forgetting (at least I haven't read much on here about it since last year) is the Navy effect. Teams tend to play terribly when they face a traditional offense the week after they play Navy's triple option, and we were no different last year. I think this was a significant contributor to our massive ineptitude in getting off the field on third down last year (passing? what is passing?) in the VT game.  I love that this is the first game of the season for that very reason, and things are going to be very different this time around.

37-17.
