The first game of the college season. Here's what I see:

USC appears loaded, but there are five new starters on the offensive line. Also no Mike Williams. But there's still a lot of offensive talent on this team. For the Hokies, Marcus Vick's suspension isn't a huge blow. But can the Hokies exploit the suspect pass defense of USC? What about their defense?

If the line goes up to about 20, a small play on the Hokies might be in order as the Trojans may feel the hype. Otherwise pass. There is still too much of a talent gap.
