Friday Football Q&A, Thursday Edition: September 4, 2008

There will be no "Keys to the Game/Matchups to Watch" article this week, primarily because there is little to no game film on Furman for TSL football analyst Phil Martin to review.

Football Game Preview: Virginia Tech vs. Furman

Virginia Tech welcomes the Furman Paladins to Lane Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

ECU Game Analysis: Fired Up Pirates Knock Out Mistake-Prone Hokies

"Reality Check" -- a quick search of the on-line dictionary defines it as coming to terms with what is actually happening, rather than what one chooses to believe.
