Wow… that sucked
Virginia Tech versus Miami was probably the worst football game I’ve watched since attending WSU. WSU was so bad in the late 80s and early 90s that I stopped watching football for almost fifteen years. Oh they had their stars like Bledsoe, and their moments of brilliance, but they also had a habit of choking in the fourth quarter and throwing away the game. I’ve never been particularly attached to a team, but I like to watch a good game. Win or lose teams I watch have to play well. I got sucked into watching football again by reports of how well VT was playing. I watched most of their game this year, and I was starting to get into the spirit of things. It was nice being a fan again. And then Tech played Miami…
That was one of the most pathetic excuses for a football team I’ve seen. Vick was horrible. He almost single handedly gave away the game.
Miami won by shutting down Tech’s offense. Vick suffered his worst game as a collegian, throwing two interceptions and fumbling four times. In all, Tech’s turnovers led to 17 Miami points.
Vick, who completed just 8-of-22 for 90 yards, fumbled on the Hokies’ first three possessions of the second half and threw an interception on the fourth. Miami scored off Vick’s first fumble of the half on a 9-yard pass from quarterback Kyle Wright to receiver Darnell Jenkins to take a 20-0 lead.

While his fans will point out that not all or his SIX turnovers led to Miami scoring, that’s not the point. Nothing sucks the life out of a team like their quarterback taking a dive. Every time VT got moving Vick gave up the ball. He should have been pulled out of the game in the second quarter. Do your job or sit on the bench. And a coach shouldn’t watch a QB flounder through four quarters without acting. Give them the benefit of the doubt, sure, but six turnovers? It will likely be at least fifteen years before I watch football again.
