With Hurricane Joaquin on the loose, we're not yet sure how the rains may affect Saturday's Pitt game as the Panthers take on Virginia Tech on the road. Lane Stadium appears ready to handle whatever rain comes its way, though.

- In 2001, Virginia Tech became the first collegiate football team to have a new state-of-the-art GreenTech ITM natural Bermuda grass sports field system.
- The turf actually sits on movable trays.
