Week 1 - Biggest Upset

Not that I expected much out of VT this season, but who expected Vandy to run the Hokies like that?
This has to rank in the top three Week 1 upsets.

What say you, muchachos?

There were quite a few folks high on VT because they have something like 21 starters back. I saw were some national reporter had them in his 12.

That's great unless those starters weren't very good last year!

Vandy’s new End Zone facility looks awesome. Perks of making money in the SEC.

They went 4-2 to finish the season including 21 point win over Tulane in the bowl game. Bonehead play may have cost them the game. Vandy missed a FG but Tech had two #0s on the field giving Vandy a second attempt and it was good. The game doesn't go to OT. They get Marshall this week at home. Interesting of the top 5 teams in the ACC, three lost opening games, one (NCSU) struggled against an FCS opponent, and the other survived a missed FG.
