Legendary Virginia Tech head coach Frank Beamer announced his retirement last week. Beamer has led the Hokies to 22 consecutive bowl appearances—good for the second-longest current streak behind Florida State. Currently, though, at 4-5, the Hokies need two wins in their final three games to become bowl-eligible for the 23rd straight season.
The Hokies are back in action on Thursday night after a bye week. The opponent: Georgia Tech.
For Tech to finish the season strong, the Hokies will need big performances from key contributors. Quarterback Michael Brewer, running back Travon McMillian and wide receiver Isaiah Ford show up every week, and coaches continue to expect big things from them.
