The reason Virginia Tech won in Charlottesville last year was simple: Kyle Guy and Ty Jerome were atrocious from the field. Together, they went 9-35, including 4-24 from 3-point range (that, and Devon Hall went 1-3 from the line).

I know UVA's got other offensive weapons this year, blah-blah-blah, but I'm thinking if Guy and Jerome shoot anywhere near 50%, the Hokies are toast. This is also the first game where I'll really be thinking about Chris Clarke, wondering if he could make a difference.

I'll be driving up from the Burg to attend the game with @Hokie in Stereo , so if you see me, say howdy! We'll be waaaaaaaay up top, in Section 311, Row Z.
