Virginia vs Virginia Tech Preview
After winning three of its first four, Virginia Tech has lost four straight, including a 45-10 loss to Clemson last time out. Three turnovers were a major problem in the loss for the Hokies.
“First of all, congratulations to Clemson, they got a fine team. I think that tailback, [Travis] Etienne, and the quarterback [Trevor Lawrence] are the best two they’ve ever had there, at least since I’ve been watching them. Those guys are really, really talented,” Virginia Tech coach Justin Fuente said after the loss. “Obviously, our plan was to try and keep our defense off the field and try to hold the ball as long as humanly possible. That didn’t mean going into the game that we wouldn’t try and throw the ball. It just meant we were trying to limit the number of possessions. When you play it like that, you have a chance for it to go a bunch of different ways. I thought that was the best chance for us to win. I still believe that.”
The Hokies are averaging 30.9 points per game and allowing 33.8 points against. The Virginia Tech players need no extra help getting up for the matchup against Virginia, per defensive tackle — especially considering the Cavaliers won last year’s rivalry matchup 39-30.
“They played harder than we did last year,” Hewitt said. “They wanted to win more than we did last year. When it came down to it, you can look at the statistics of the game, it was pretty matched as far as yards, as far as turnovers, that kind of thing. But ultimately it came down to they had more energy that day and they wanted to win more, and that’s something that’s eaten [at] us the last, whole year.”
Virginia has won four in a row, beating Boston College 43-32 last time out. That was despite allowing 520 passing yards and four touchdowns to BC quarterback Dennis Grosel.
“I think Boston College is a very good football team,” Virginia head coach Bronco Mendenhall said in his postgame press conference. “I think they’re coached well. They’ve demonstrated that the entire year. And I think their culture is strong I think they’re very competitive. I think it was a great win for our program under very unique circumstances. I’m happy for our team.
“Once the game starts, really nobody cares whatever happened to get to the game,” Mendenhall said. “Once the game starts, it’s about the results. And I think that’s from the players, from the fans and certainly from the media. And, quite frankly, from administration now it looks like. So once you choose to play, and once the game starts, it’s back to normal in terms of outcomes.”
Virginia Tech is a 3-point favorite for the matchup. The total is set at 62.5 points. Virginia is 5-0 against the spread in their last five. The total has gone over in eight of Virginia Tech’s last 12 games. in their last five games.
