BLACKSBURG – Virginia Tech head coach Justin Fuente met with media members Monday afternoon, and much of the discussion centered on his post-mortem of the Clemson game, as the Hokies fell to the defending national champions 31-17 at Lane Stadium on Saturday night.
The Tigers played as expected, particularly on defense where they held Tech to just 4 of 15 on third downs and only allowed Tech to reach the red zone on just two occasions. The Hokies played well on defense for the most part; with the exception of giving up a 60-yard touchdown on a busted coverage and struggling to tackle Clemson quarterback Kelly Bryant on a scoring drive after Travon McMillian’s fumble.
