It’s an interesting metaphor - playing Enter Sandman as the Virginia Tech Hokies enter their stadium for a night game.
The Hokies are the Sandman, there to steal the sleep of their opponents. The raucous atmosphere in Lane Stadium and scrappy, well-coached Virginia Tech teams are supposed to rattle their opponents.
And for a half of football against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, it seemed to work. After two quarters, it was 17-16 in favor of the Irish. That score did not tell the whole story though, as the Hokies had largely stifled the 5-0 Irish.
