VT Wins Easily Over Appalachian State

Virginia Tech had an easy afternoon in their win over the Mountaineers of Appalachian State.  ASU had a bad day from the very beginning, when on one of their first plays, the running back fumbled a hand off which the Hokies recovered.  David Wilson scored on the Hokies' very first offensive play, just as he said he would.  For the day, Wilson had 162 yards on 16 carries, with 3 TDs.  Logan Thomas also had a decent day and went 9/19 with 142 yards and 2 TDs.  He performed as expected; a little off target at times but showed a ton of potential.  These first 4 games of the season should be a great warmup for him to face the last 8 ACC games on the Hokies schedule.  The Hokies had 3 INTs by 3 different players, and Beamer Ball even made an appearance as a punt was blocked and recovered in the end zone for 6 points. 

Overall, the Hokies looked very good today.  Thomas needs to find some more consistency and a little more accuracy in his passes so the Hokies don't have to rely on the running game the whole time.  I think people were expecting a much closer score, so 66-13 was a bit of a surprise considering a similar ASU team beat Michigan a few years back in their opener.  This game should serve as a great warm up for VT's next game against unpredictable ECU next week.
