Virginia Tech vs Virginia Football 2021 Preview
There’s a lot on the line as in-state rivals Virginia Tech and Virginia clash on Saturday in the Commonwealth Cup. The Hokies (5-6, 3-4) have won 20 of the past 22 editions of the game, including last year’s, 33-15.
“We all know the importance of this week, the Commonwealth Cup game, what it means to our program,” Virginia Tech interim coach J.C. Price said. “The Cup is in our possession, and we owe it to our seniors to try to do our very best to go out and win this game. We still have a chance to extend our season. We understand that also coincides with a victory.”
Price is referencing the Hokies chance of becoming bowl eligible with a win. Last season was the first time since 1992 that Virginia Tech did not play in a bowl game.
“This game is important within our state not just football-wise, it’s important in recruiting. It’s important to a lot of people, as it should be. It’s a rivalry game,” Price said. “Every state has a rivalry game, and this one is ours and it’s important.”
Virginia has lost its last three, although all those losses have come against ranked squads in BYU, Notre Dame and Pittsburgh.
“When you invest as much as our program has to win the Coastal Division, the thought that now, OK, you just move on, yeah, that’s not realistic,” Virginia coach Bronco Mendenhall said this week. “But knowing here comes the next really meaningful game that has just so much meaning to our program, certainly it will help.”
Brennan Armstrong has been the key to the Virginia offense, passing for 4,044 yards and 30 touchdowns. He’s tossed just nine interceptions. Wayne Taulapapa has carried the load on the ground with 301 yards and a pair of touchdowns.
For Virginia Tech, it’s quarterback Braxton Burmeister who has been slinging the ball. Burmeister is completing 56.4 percent of his passes for 1,819 yards and 13 touchdowns. As a team, the Hokies have rushed for nearly 2,000 yards, with Raheem Blackshear recording a team-high 545 yards and five touchdowns.
Virginia is a seven-point favorite for the matchup, with the total set at 63.5 points.
