Tide Rushing Attack Rolls Through Hokie Defense, Alabama Wins 35-10
Alabama started off the season right with a big win on the road against #10 Virginia Tech. The Hokies got on the board first with a long FG, but that's about all they did. After that, Bama scored 28 unanswered points. They beat them on offense, defense, and even beat them with their own version of "Beamer Ball" special teams when junior Rolando McClain blocked a Virginia Tech FG attempt.
