Behind a 92 percent completion percentage, 310 yards through the air, another 28 on the ground and 5 touchdowns Logan Thomas just asserted himself as the leader of this team. But stats be damned, no line can measure what that kid just did in Lane this afternoon. Logan struggled mightily against Clemson; everything he could have done wrong against the Tigers he did. Today he brushed the haters' footprints off his back and answered the bell, every single time we needed a score. Let's be cliché for a minute, that takes grit, heart, moxie, balls or some combination thereof.

It's incomprehensible the difference a week of practice, and perhaps a healthy shoulder, can make. He looked sharp running and throwing. The inaccurate throws and poor field vision that plagued his game in the first five games were tabled, for at least this week. It's unrealistic to expect a performance like that in every game going forward. That was legendary, a career day, and I'd bet the house it's a Hokies' best as far as completions to attempts are concerned. He's still a young quarterback with plenty of mistakes left to make, but I don't think they'll all come together again in a perfect storm like against Clemson.

At the very least we now know this kid has what it takes to grab the team by its collar and lead them to a win. And that's a damn good feeling, one about as good as 4 shots of NyQuil.
