The Virginia Tech Hokies are coming off of a resounding 37-16 victory over the Miami Hurricanes last Thursday night in Blacksburg, a game in which the Hokies’ injured defensive front was able to rack up a season-high eight sacks against a porous Miami offensive line.
As the team readies themselves for another Thursday night tilt on the road at Pittsburgh, where they haven’t won a true road game since 1999 and where they have never won at Heinz Field (0-4), they appear to be much healthier on the defensive front than they were a week ago against Miami.
