You seem to be under the hilarious misperception that we’re talking about golf. Losing 58-61 on the road against a top 5 team is a hell of a lot better than getting your ass kicked in 21-35 by the lowly 3-5 Hokies in your own stadium!
A home loss to a mediocre team is more respectable than 60+ friggin' points. This isn't Canadian football.
