The Hokies' defense didn’t improve on its out-of-the-half woes. Not even close. But this time the unit didn't let those lapses define it. "Hokies Defense Proves Deadliest In Death Valley" by @dylantefft thekeyplay.com/virginia-tech… #Hokies

Man, I don't know, if all of these schools got together and played football against each other regularly each season, I think that'd be kind of cool. Is there a name or concept for that kind of agreement or organization?
