Give the Charleston Cougars credit for this start, but they’ve been rough defensively, and now they’re going up against a juggernaut offensive team in Virginia Tech. The Virginia Tech Hokies are absolutely loaded offensively, and they’re scary good to teams that either can’t defend or don’t have the horses to keep up. I’m not stepping in front of Virginia Tech. I’ll lay the chalk.
