2020 Opponent Snapshot: Virginia Tech Hokies

Quick 2019 Recap:

Coming off a disappointing 6-7 season in 2018, the Virginia Tech Hokies’ 2019 season didn’t get off to a much better start, going 2-2 in their first four games with wins over Old Dominion and Furman. In week five however, their season would start turning around when they made Hendon Hooker the starting quarterback.

After Hooker was given the starting job, the Hokies went on a tremendous run over their next seven games, going 6-1 including wins over Miami, North Carolina, and Wake Forest. That series of games was capped off with back-to-back shutouts over Georgia Tech and Pitt by a total score of 73-0.
