So RichardJackson199, did anyone officially take you up on your pie bet? Was it VT straight up over Duke?

Both teams have been tough to figure so far. The transitive property of football scores suggests Penn State should win handily, given that they put a 45-13 whipping on Buffalo, who knocked off Temple 38-22, a week after the Owls had nudged Maryland by a FG (20-17).
But Maryland's dismantling of Syracuse is the most impressive showing to date by either team, and Penn State really scuffled at home against Pitt. So who knows? But it would not shock me to see a Terp victory, not that I'm pulling for it.
I listened to a bunch of the Lunch Pail Podcast linked above, not all of it but a bunch, and was not overly impressed. The hosts said some nice things about Coach Cutcliffe but they did not seem knowledgeable on the Duke team. One of the hosts stated (paraphrase), "They don't have a lot of play makers. Quentin Harris is probably their best offensive player but he doesn't have anything around him." Without saying it outright, they dismissed Duke's offensive explosion at MTSU as against inferior competition.
Both hosts predict a close game with one guy saying Duke will win:
Host #1: Virginia Tech 28, Duke 21
Host #2: Duke 34, Virginia Tech 21
As for their comments on the Hokies, lots of frustration with the running game and concerns the fan base will give up on the team.

Jim Sumner on wide receiver Scott Bracey:

Bracey has seven catches after three games, including a spectacular 37-yard jump ball against Alabama. He’s also emerged as the best blocker at the wide-receiver position. Watch the block he threw for Jalon Calhoun against Middle Tennessee State.

What uniforms are we wearing Friday night?

What uniforms are we wearing Friday night?
Blue hats with black shirts and pants
Call me new school, but I dig the black uniforms - especially for night games.
They can wear chartreuse as long as they secure a win
I wondered about that...I've also noticed some games on Thur/Fri nights over the years where both teams wear colors...as long as they contrast with each other. So we might see that burnt orange versus the black Friday...an early Halloween look.
I don't think the burgandy would contrast enough with the black...
