With the 4-6 Hokies chasing bowl eligibility, Virginia Tech has scheduled a conditional game against Marshall, the school announced.

If Virginia Tech defeats Virginia on Friday, the Hokies will host the Thundering Herd on Dec. 1 in a matchup of two teams that had games canceled due to Hurricane Florence in September. If Virginia wins, the following game will be called off.

The Hokies have played a bowl game in every season since the 1993 Independence Bowl.

It's essentially a coin flip that Virginia Tech will survive and advance to play Marshall.
