Virginia Tech: Wins By 20+ Points

Any Other Result

 

• The line for this game is Virginia Tech by 18.5 points.

• Virginia Tech spent its first season under head coach Justin Fuente racking up impressive road wins but will need to play better at home to clinch a spot in the ACC championship game. The Hokies can wrap up first place in the Coastal Division and a date with Clemson in the conference championship game when they host rival Virginia in the regular-season finale on Saturday.

• Senior running back Taquan Mizzell is finishing his career strong and rushed for a career-best 131 yards in a 31-17 loss at Georgia Tech last week. Senior quarterback Matt Johns made his first start of the season last week and went 27-of-44 for 220 yards and a touchdown but was intercepted three times.

• The Hokies were in danger of a second straight loss when they fell behind Notre Dame by 17 points in the first half and trailed by 10 entering the fourth quarter, but the defense turned up the pressure and quarterback Jerod Evans made the plays down the stretch in a 34-31 triumph. Evans was intercepted a total of three times in the last two games after throwing a combined two picks in the first nine games. Evans also leads Virginia Tech in rushing with 675 yards and totaled three TDs against the Fighting Irish to give him 31 for the season, passing former quarterback Logan Thomas (30) for the school record.

• Cavaliers LB Micah Kiser is second in FBS with 120 tackles.

• Virginia Tech needs seven points to break the school record of 374 set in the 2010 campaign.

• The Hokies won the last 12 in the series, but the Cavaliers were within one score at the end of three of the last four meetings.
