It reminded me of that Kent State game in 2011. We really were horrible in that game, and Virginia Tech is better than that Kent team was. I remember thinking "Richardson's a bust, can't be the #1 back" right after the game because these were his stats: 13 carries for 37 yards. He looked exactly how Yeldon and the others looked yesterday. Not to mention that in the Kent game we had like 4 INTs. Last year's opening game was more of an anomaly than what should be expected of the opening game. We didn't look too great against VT in 2009 either, and that season worked out pretty well

We had nearly 500 yards of offense in that game. Virginia Tech had 155 yards of total offense in that game. Virtually all of their points were set up by special teams and turnovers.

I made a comparison to this game earlier today. Very similar in terms of oline play as well as the "the sky is falling" mentality afterwards.
