They thrive on making you one dimensional. The D is very fast. Unless you have a dominant DL, they will run on you. If Thomas is on, UM will be in for a long day.Gymrat1noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8059884704776101239.post-13794450379842711762011-12-05T21:31:30.864-05:002011-12-05T21:31:30.864-05:00Great Blog. Maybe I can save you some time. I...Great Blog. Maybe I can save you some time. I'm a Georgia Tech and Michigan fan since I went to both schools. NOBODY likes VT in the ACC. Nobody.<br /><br />When VT outmatches an opponent physically/athletically, they win. It may be close, but they will pull it out. They have done this year in and year out for as long as Beamer-ball has existed. At first you think luck, but it's not. They are coached well. <br /><br />To beat them? Have a good/great defensive line and get some pressure. The best d-lines have had the best chance of winning. Outside of Clemson - North Carolina, Miami have the next best. These are not exactly world-killers as seen by their records, but have the best athletes. <br /><br />Michigan will win, and I get the feeling it won't be close. Thomas' passing is good enough to not be able to make a similar gameplan defensively as you would Ohio. Wilson will have a decent day, as he's probably in the top 3 backs UM faces this year<br /><br />Beat them by picking on their DBs and having Denard be Denard. He will be the best athlete at QB they face, and could be a big day for Mr. Robinson.<br /><br />One last thing, VT is known in the ACC for one thing more than any other: laying big fat eggs against non-conference opponents and then running the table in-conference. This is usually at the beginning of the season where they collapse, but I feel another one coming.DrewForBluenoreply@blogger.com
