Daily Bullets (December 17)

Roanoke Island

It’s not hard to envision why the OSU – Virginia Tech matchup is intriguing: it’s strength on strength, an Oklahoma drill between two of the best units in the country.

But (VT defensive coordinator Bud) Foster has comfort in his play-calling from the fact that his cornerbacks have had their mettle tested so frequently throughout their careers. That’s shown this year, with the Hokies allowing opponents to complete the lowest percentage of passes (46.9) of any team nationally. [Roanoke Times]

Look for Hokie defensive backs to be left out on islands against the Cowboy star wideouts – a battle this OSU group is used to winning.

OSU and NCAA Notes

A reasonable recruiting wishlist for Oklahoma State football….Is Camping World one of this year’s top bowls?….Winners and losers in college basketball this weekend from Boone….A Texas booster wants Art Briles hired at a smaller school

A great guess!

That seemed to have gone better before.

Boise State tried a Statue of Liberty play to go up 31-0.

Instead the Broncos fumbled and Oregon returned it for a TD. pic.twitter.com/KgqxsloeXn
