some fun stats from last night

This from Gary Cope:

“The Hokies recorded 12 tackles for loss against FSU, the most allowed by the Noles all season. Tech sacked Manuel five times, another season-high allowed by FSU. In fact, prior to Thursday night’s game, the Noles had only allowed 13 sacks in the previous nine games.

The most telling stat of the night was Florida State’s total rushing yards; negative 15 yards. (-15). That’s the fewest rushing yards by a Florida State team since at least 1973, but the record books only go back that far, so who knows, it could be a record. We do know that the -15 yards is tied for third under Beamer’s tenure.

Here are some stats that Hokie coaches and fans can look to as signs that this team has the potential to turn things around starting Nov. 17 at Boston College:
•FSU averages an ACC-best 524 yards per game; VT held them to 385
•FSU averages an ACC-best 44.8 points per game; VT held them to 28
•FSU averages 235 rushing yards per game; VT held them to -15
•VT’s offense had 298 passing yards, the most allowed by FSU’s defense all season
•Cory Fuller’s 124 yards receiving are the most allowed by FSU to a receiver all season
•VT forced three Seminole turnovers; tied for the most turnovers in a game by FSU this season
•VT recorded 12 tackles for a loss, the most allowed by FSU all season
•VT recorded 5 sacks, the most allowed by FSU all season”
