Don't look now but rhane and old dominion are about to beat pry and VT

[Online Persona]

1st and goal on the 1. TD should do it.

Congratulations to Rahne. Huge win for him and ODU. Pry will have his share of wins. Sets their new 10 year agreement up for quite a rivalry.

Good news for Rahne. Not a good debut for Pry.

• VaTech out-gained ODU 333 yds vs 248 yds, more 1st downs, more time of possession
• 15 penalties for the Hokies
• 5 turnovers (4 Interceptions and 1 fumble)
• A bizarre TD given up -- high snap on a FG attempt, ball got knocked around, finally picked up by an ODU player and taken in for a Touchdown.

Ugly game. VaTech will have a very long season. Honeymoon over for Pry. Hokies shot themselves so many times. Rahne has it going at ODU. Pretty good defense but in the Sun Belt you have to score pts....

I think that is hyperbole. VT was only a 6.5 to 7.5 favorite, so in the grand scheme of things not that huge of an upset in CFB. Add in the fact the ODU beat VT just a few years ago in what was a much bigger upset according to the odds. Certainly not a great start for the Pry era, especially with the 4 INTs and lots of penalties, but really not a big deal in year 1 if he cleans up the play. And you also have this nugget:

"Playing road games against the Group of 5 has not worked out particularly well for ACC teams that end up scheduling them. With this loss, the league now has 20 road losses against Group of 5 teams in the College Football Playoff era."
