ORLANDO, Fla. – The Virginia Tech football coaches, players, support staff and various members of the administration arrived in Orlando on Friday morning, and head coach Justin Fuente’s first task before the Hokies take the field against Clemson in the ACC Championship Game on Saturday night was one that he actually welcomed.
He received the ACC Coach of the Year trophy from ACC Commissioner John Swofford.
“I can’t tell you what a tremendous honor it is to be recognized as the ACC Coach of the Year,” Fuente said at a pre-championship news conference held at Camping World Stadium.
