Earlier this week I was reading an ESPN article by Andrea Adelson about Virginia Tech's decline. In 2010 we were doing very well for ourselves- and then everything took a turn downhill. We ended that season flattened by Stanford, a team that ended up graduating Andrew Luck, David DeCastro, Coby Fleener, Stepfan Taylor, Levine Toilolo, Zach Ertz, Jonathan Martin, Sione Fua, Owen Marecic, Richard Sherman, and Ryan Whalen into the NFL. We were simply outclassed. Our defense was beaten publicly for 247 rushing yards (8.0 average!) and 287 passing yards. We were too small, schematically out-thought, and out-talented, and it showed.
