BLACKSBURG – ESPN confirmed that College GameDay will broadcast a special Monday edition of its pregame show live from the Virginia Tech campus on Sept. 7, as Virginia Tech faces No. 1 Ohio State. The Buckeyes are making their first appearance in Lane Stadium.
This will be the seventh time the GameDay crew will be in Blacksburg, last visiting on Sept. 1, 2007 for Tech’s season-opening game against East Carolina. The other times include twice in 1999 and 2005, and a single visit in 2000.
Last year’s tilt between the two programs in Columbus, Ohio, ended with a Hokies’ 35-21 victory, the lone blemish on the Ohio State’s national championship season.
