Fresh off of their 34-3 road victory last Saturday against the North Carolina Tar Heels, the Virginia Tech Hokies enter Saturday’s match-up on the road against Syracuse as the number 17 team in the latest AP poll and 19.5 point favorites over the Orange as of Saturday morning.
The Hokies are firing on all cylinders on both offense and defense, and have a potentially massive Thursday night match-up awaiting them in less than a week in Blacksburg, when they face #16 Miami.
As for Syracuse? They have a young, rebuilding team with the conference’s leader in passing yards at the controls on offense in sophomore quarterback Eric Dungey.
