Top Games of Week 1

Three games highlight the kickoff to the college football season.  Top programs from different conferences square off.  Of course Virginia Tech is one of them.  They seem to be the only team in the 6 major conferences willing to play anybody anywhere.  They will play Boise State at a "neutral site", sorry Fedex field is not much of a neutral site for this game.  It is a very intriguing week one match up.  Boise State is expected, and I believe most assuredly will be in the top 5 to start off the season with 21 returning starters to the roster, and last year they won a BCS game.  They have a heisman candidate at quarterback, and they have a solid supporting cast. They lead the nation last year in points scored.  Virginia Tech comes in sure to have a solid team.  Tyrod Taylor should have an improved passing game and is always a threat to run.  They will have several great running backs to choose from.  The key will be can Boise State consistently move the ball against Frank Beamers defense.  Virginia Tech will play beamer ball.  They will be able to effectively run the ball, and force a couple turnovers.   Virginia Tech will be able to slow down Boise State just enough, and with the help of  the hometown crowd they will pull out the week one victory.  This will also ruin Boise States chance for a BSC national championship.
