Pence's Quick Thoughts

Virginia Tech should win this game as they are the more talented team.  The question is how will the Hokies be able to bounce back after an emotional 1 point loss to West Virginia on Saturday?  Will James Johnson get them focused and motivated to play against Mississippi Valley State?

*******

On Monday the Hokies will try and get that bad taste out of their mouths after their dramatic last second loss in Morgan-hole Saturday. The victim will be mississippi valley state, Jerry Rice’s alma mater. FYI: their nickname is the delta devils.

This game had better be a Bear Fight (Jon King style). mvsu, a member of the SWAC, is 0-5 on the year and they’ve lost by an average of 29 ppg. uva just pounded mvsu by 28. Four teams in the SWAC are winless and two others have eight losses.
