Tonight at Bank of America Stadium, you have the big game of the year, the ACC championship in Charlotte between Virginia Tech and the Clemson Tigers. On paper this looks like a great match up, with both teams sporting high powered offenses, and good if not great defenses (see VT. stats, 9th in nation against the run), but if you watch alot ACC football like I do you see two teams going in different directions.
Virginia Tech 11-1 (7-1) in the ACC is on a seven game winning streak and clicking on all cylinders whereas Clemson 9-3 (6-2) in the ACC is reeling coming into tonights game after getting spanked and humiliated in there last two games (Nc State and South Carolina), in blow out fashion.
This game comes down to Clemson's talented (not lately) QB Tajh Bowd reconnecting with Freshman sensation Sammy Watkins (72 rec 1073 yds 10 td) to have any chance of beating the Hokies tonight, because running the ball tonight against a Virginia Tech defense will be difficult (95 yds per game allowed).
My Take: Virginia Tech avenges there early season loss to Clemson and wins 42 -21. They contain Tajh Bowd, gets some turnovers, and the Hokie offense led by QB Logan Thomas and RB David Wilson run the ball through a weak Clemson run defense.
Enjoy the game everybody
