Virginia Tech Kicking Themselves out of the Sugar Bowl?

In recent weeks Frank Beamer's usually spectacular special teams unit has been kicking themselves...

Virginia Tech has recently lost both of it's place kickers. One earlier this month for a drug altercation and the second one just recently missed a curfew during the teams preperation in New Orleans.

This has got to frustrate teamates, coaches, and your average college football fan. How do jeopardize your full scholarship to a top 25 college football program?

This has not only put these individuals in jeopardy, but it has put the entire team in jeopardy. I feel that this game will be close and could come down to a clutch field goal kick from the Hokies. I hope Virginia Tech's kick-off man Justin Myer has been practicing more than just kick-offs.

Despite all of this, I think Logan Thomas and Virginia Tech will be able to hold off the Wolverines in a close one at the Sugar Bowl. Virginia Tech's fan base will travel well. I expect the atmosphere to be exciting and Michigan will get its first taste of Enter Sandman...
