The weather in Annapolis was the determiner of how this contest was played, that is for sure. The Hokies had an immediate rain impacted disaster strike soon after the Tech defense opened the game with a 3 and out. Kyron Drones had ball handling problems all game, and the first big muff was a scoop and score fumble that put the Green Wave up 7-0 before the crowd even got back to their seats. It was a looming disaster on a turf field with the cold and rain definitely affecting the handling of the ball. It didn’t hurt that, as anticipated, the aggressive Tulane defense came out firing.
