One of our Golden Rules of handicapping is that one cannot simply manufacture emotion. It has to be real. VA Tech is playing their first game since Frank Beamer announced his retirement. He has been there for 100 years and no question that his players will be very fired up to win one for the Beamer on national TV.

They also momentum and rest off 16 point road win at Boston College. Extra week should help prepare for unique option attack of Tech. Hokies quarterback Michael Brewer, assuming he stays healthy, only third time this year he will be available for the entire game.
