BLACKSBURG – Following a week of limited practices and a weekend off, the Virginia Tech football team returned to the practice field Sunday afternoon and began preparations for Saturday’s tussle with struggling North Carolina at Lane Stadium.
Tech entered its bye week with a 5-1 record, but Boston College, Old Dominion and East Carolina have combined to go 6-14 this season, and Delaware, while 4-2, is an FCS program. Those wins make it hard to gauge exactly where the Hokies truly stand at this point in the season.
The bye week certainly offered the opportunity to get a little healthier, but it also provided some valuable time to perform some self-analysis.
